Dems Hit Paydirt on Heckle?

President Obama’s clarity last night probably helped him with the public.

His passion likely energized Democrats. But no evidence yet that he changed the fundamental legislative dynamic: Democrats are going to have to pass reform on their own.

And they claim at least one immediate political benefit from Congressman Joe Wilson’s outburst: overnight Wilson’s opponent, former Marine Joe Miller, received 3000 individual contributions totaling about $100,000.

UPDATE: My colleague David Chalian just heard from the DCCC that Miller’s take since the "you lie" moment is more than $400,000 from 11,000 contributors. That means he's raised two-thirds of his
total take from the 2008 congressional cycle in less than 24 hours.

Of course Wilson did trounce Miller in 2008: 54- 46
