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.

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!

I'm not thrilled with the GOP establishment and their wimpiness even with control of the House, Senate, and White House, but the democrats are far worse. I want to listen to liberal tears one more time. If you live in Georgia, get out and vote for Karen Handel, and ask your friends to vote for her too. What is best in life?

"Democratic operatives have instead looked closely at Ossoff’s campaign for clues about messaging that other Democrats might emulate next year."

Pretend you are a Republican when campaigning and vote with Nancy Pelosi if elected.

Democrats are closer than they ever could have imagined to winning a House seat in the Republican suburbs of Atlanta, and dealing a resounding blow to Donald Trump.

Resounding blow? It's the end of the world as we know it.

“A loss in Georgia’s special election here could leave the party demoralized, with little to show for all the furious organizing, fundraising and spending in a handful of congressional special elections in the early months of the Trump administration... [as well as false allegations of criminal conspiracies, death threats, hitting conservatives over the head with bike locks, shooting conservative legislators, and killing Trump in effigy].”

Media editor: “Come on, where’s today’s story lauding Ossoff? Scrape that barrel and come up with it! This election is ‘news!’ if we can pull out a win for him!”
