Ezra links a few bits of advice. I think the Paul Waldman comments underestimate the characteristics that generally go along with being a candidate from the South. It’s not THE factor, but so many things go with it as a general rule that it’s probably safe to say that type of candidate will fare better.
Locally at least, Lloyd Doggett won fairly handily. I can look forward to his representation for another two years. David Van Os lost his race. It’s somewhat heartening to see that Barack Obama kicked the junk out of Alan Keyes.
