CBS : In the nation's first federal election of 2004, Chandler became the first Democrat since 1991 to win a Republican-held seat in a special election. The win leaves Republicans with a 228-205 majority in the House, with one vacancy and one independent.

Some Democrats claimed the race in Bluegrass country, home to horse and tobacco farms, had national implications.

No. Ya think?
