Herseth beats out Diederich by a couple of percentage points. Diederich has to be losing sleep tonight wondering whether it would have come out differently if he hadn’t effectively conceded defeat two days ago. On the other hand, maybe it was a clever move to mobilize his forces and de-mobilize the Democrats.

In any case, it’s a second straight red-state House seat pickup for the Democrats. Not a bad omen for November.
