The Dukestir is gone and there's a special election coming up. 50%+ and Francine Busby can win the seat in April, otherwise there will be a runoff in June. Democrats have had excellent luck winning (Chandler, Herseth) or coming close to winning (Hackett) special elections in realtively wingnutty areas, and there's some polling data which adds reason for optimism.
Here's Busby's issues page which gives you an idea of what kind of campaign she's running.
A win would provide good press and momentum. Busby's been added to the Eschaton community donation page, so consider making a donation. Open primary is on April 11 and that isn't very far away.
