Congratulations to Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth for her victory in the South Dakota special election last night. Turned out to be a close race, meaning that loser Larry Diedrich's weird statement about moral victories will either be taken as vindication or an indication that he blew a real chance by engaging in mind games. However you slice it, there's one more Democrat in the House.

The Stakeholder has a congratulatory message from Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a wrapup note from Congressional Quarterly, and a boatload of pictures from Herseth's victory party last night. Kos has a few thoughts as well.
