Recent history —

Democrat loses — no big deal
Democrat loses — no big deal
Democrat loses — no big deal
Democrat loses — no big deal
Democrat loses — no big deal
Democrat loses — no big deal
Democrat loses — no big deal
Republican loses — Game Over! Trump is finished! The people have spoken! No one likes the president! It’s official!!!!!

Of course, that last bit hasn’t actually happened yet, but they hope that GA goes that way. And if it doesn’t? [shrug] No big deal.

$23 million for this election for a job paying $174,000.

Even with perks that add up to several $million per year, there is something is wrong with this picture.

Remember, in Obama's first year in office, Ted Kennedy croaked and Republicans won a special election for the U.S. Senate in deep blue Massachusetts. That was a statewide election too.

There's the difference between Obama year one and Trump year one: Republicans won; Democrats just talk about how close their loss was.

A week ago the Dems and the MSM we’re crowing that this was going to be a big win and turn the momentum against the president. Today they sound like people already preparing the excuse machine when they lose. Honestly, if Handel weren’t such a squish RINO she wouldn’t be in such a close race IMO.

Short summary: It’s hard to cheat when everyone’s looking over your shoulder.

Who was it: Bubby's fa-vo-rite! grandson/Friend Of George, Jared? Or Daddy's Wittle Feminist Princess, Ivanka--who persuaded him to NOT go down to Georgia this weekend or tonight to hold a rally?

OR was it Karen "I Can't Seem To" Handel, herself? Playing the part of "riser-abover" so she can get $$$ from the RNC?

By the way...When I simply type in "handel" in the address bar at the top of my screen, THIS story is suggested: https://www.thenation.com/article/karen-handel-has-a-long-history-of-suppressing-votes-copy/

The day after the DCCC finished conducting local focus groups that revealed moderates’ complicated views of Trump, Ossoff’s campaign stopped going after the president in its paid ads.


Telling.

The democrats are just selfless and truly want to represent you in Washington.

Sweating the details - like having a candidate that actually lives in the district?

Clear indication of Trump’s crossover appeal and a new minefield for phony Dems to negotiate.

I’d love to see this tweet tomorrow:

@realDonaldTrump Talked to Vlad, assures me GA-6 is in the bag. Keep trying, Donks. Maybe in 2018.

The Dims would be throwing fits all day...

a federal judge (black robed tyrant) ordered the state to reopen voter registration for the race and by 4-1 Ossoff gained Dem registrants. A runoff has never had a post election open registration period before.

Weather may play a factor tomorrow as Republicans have heavier vote totals on Election Day. Early voting shows significant non-voting in heavy Republican areas of Cobb and Fulton County. Handel can pull this out but Republicans must get out and vote!

For all the Herculean effort and heavy lifting the dems have done here, despite running against a mediocre at best GOPe candidate, a loss would serve them right.

Handel needs to body-slam pajama boy (she’s about a foot shorter than him but probably has more testosterone in her little finger than he does in his entire body) to ensure victory.

Did you see the numbers for a Senate seat? They did the math based on a two year term, not the six years a Senator actually serves. How does anyone take them seriously?
