Wilson’s Crumbling Base

That outburst by Wilson brought in $100K overnight for his opponent. TPM runs the numbers:

In the 2008 election, John McCain carried the district 54%-45%, and Wilson himself was re-elected 53.7%-46.2% over Miller. This was a significant swing from previous elections — when Wilson would win with over 60% or even over 80% of the vote, and George W. Bush carried it 60%-40% in 2004.
