Rob Miller, Joe Wilson's Democratic Opponent

The highlight (or low) of tonight's Obama health care speech has to be South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson calling Obama a liar. The stare from Pelosi's eyes was priceless.


It seems that Wilson's Democratic opponent, Rob Miller, came sort of close to winning in 2008, despite a significant financial disadvantage. Just after the speech, only 25 people had donated about $2,500 to his 2010 campaign. Let's see how much attention he gets after this furor.

Update 1: In the last 12 hours, almost 4,000 people have donated $135,000 to Miller's campaign.

Update 2: It's been almost 24 hours since I first posted and Miller has about $630,000!
