Wilson is in his 3rd or 4th term in a heavily Republican district. He had nothing really to worry about before Wednesday, and even less to worry about now.

Which means the Dems are wasting their resources.

Perhaps. But as Politico noted it is a strong message. The GOP leadersip rebuked him and demanded an apology. He has been targeted by the media and Democrat's. Yet he is now the beneficiary of over a 1 million in donation with more still coming in. This in effect says we don't care what the GOP leadship thinks and we'll have the back of those who ignore the GOP's lead and stand up to Obama when they are in the right. Maybe other Republicans will take notice and follow.

Wilson, who initially apologized for his words, is now riding a reaction that has surpassed the liberal backlash to his words: Miller has raised less than $900,000, according to the Democratic fundraising site ActBlue -- though still more than enough to envigorate his challenge.

Didn't the left claim Miller was over 1 million? Who knew they lied? ;) Half of that will go to pay debts so Miller only has less than half of Wilson's chest to use to his benefit when you add Wilson's starting 200k before this happened. his in a heavily Republican district. I think some Republicans in need of funds will suddenly be Joe Wilson's best friend soon. :)

He can donate that money to other Republicans in need. He has the potential to go from a backbencher to a powerbroker.

The Democrat contributions provided a powerful incentive for the Right to give to Wilson.

Thanks to the Dems! May all their nasty, petty, vitriolic campaigns be failures!

Sweet news all the way around.
