  <blurb>The &lt;a href="http://www.swingstateproject.com"&gt;Swing State Project&lt;/a&gt; has been analyzing key races across the country for nearly five years. We&amp;#39;ve had our eye on MS-01 for some time, giving it a &lt;a href="http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1609"&gt;competitive rating&lt;/a&gt; before any other major prognosticator did so. Travis Childers bore out our projections and then exceeded them, coming just &lt;a href="http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1806"&gt;410 votes shy&lt;/a&gt; of outright victory in the special election on April 22nd. Now he faces a two-candidate run-off on May 13th. This is a very winnable race, but only if Childers gets all the help he needs. Please lend a hand!</blurb>

      <pageblurb>Travis Childers is an economic populist who supports S-CHIP, opposes CAFTA and wants us to withdraw our troops from Iraq in 12 to 18 months. Let&amp;apos;s turn this deep red seat blue and send another vote for change to Congress!</pageblurb>
