Some context from Talking Points Memo
Later Update: To put this into some broader perspective, the Republicans have lost three straight Republican districts to the Democrats in by-elections this year. Hastert’s district in Illinois, Louisiana 6th, and now Mississippi 1st. Each successively more Republican than the last. In Mississippi 1st, President Bush got 62% of the vote there in 2004.
Symbolic Number Update: On the symbolic level, this pulls the House GOP caucus down to 199.
