THE BIG IDEA: With all the ballots counted, Republican Karen Handel won the most expensive House race in U.S. history by 3.8 percentage points. That’s a larger margin of victory than the 1.5 points that Donald Trump carried Georgia’s 6th Congressional District by last November.
Handel even wound up winning by a greater margin than the GOP candidate in an unexpectedly close special election to replace OMB Director Mick Mulvaney in South Carolina that had not been on the national radar.

Hope it keeps going and Trump with the help of the people will "Make America Great Again."
Nice slide show....love it.
I survived 8 years of Despondent. They’ll survive. Although if they don’t, that’s fine too.
Moral victories = LOSER!
Loved this video in the article - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IJp8-BAT6Y
I believe the 2nd person, the red haired guy with braids, is a meatarian.
For anyone who knows:
Why was the Georgia election more important than the squeaker in South Carolina - a race that was essentially never discussed here or elsewhere?
Excellent.
Hey rats in Georgia and the media, can you hear us now!

The video is great!
Thanks.
Another good morning for our side.
Wish I knew how to photoshop. I would put a big “L” on Ossoff’s (and other RATs’) foreheads!
“CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!!!”
Yes, yes it is...
I think because the Dems did not target that one with Money, so the Media did not cover it as the lack of funding by the Dems in the SC raise probably was perceived as a signal that the Dems felt they had no chance. Of course, since the Dems did not heavily invest money in that race, the RNC did not either so my theory is Republican and right of center Independents did not vote as heavy as they did in the Presidential race.
Analysis of Money in the GA race indicates that for every penny Ossoff got from 6th district GA residents, he got $10 from California, which suggest to me that Pelosi got her Hollywood and San Francisco Liberal donor base to pour money into the GA race, thus the Liberal media picked up on the thinking that Pelosi and DNC establishment thought they could flip this seat.
KELLYANNE CONWAY PRAISED DEMOCRATS: “Thanks to everyone who snarkily proclaimed Ga/6th as a referendum on Donald Trump. You were right
=================================================
THE GRUESOME DETAILS FROM THE DAILY BEAST--the combined efforts of the Ossoff campaign, the DNC, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee help build a monster operation unprecedented in Georgia Democratic politics. By the end of the race, they had knocked on more than 500,000 doors, hired 100 staffers, recruited 12,000 active volunteers and spent more than $11 million on ads on everything from the Today Show to Korean newspapers and gospel stations.
After $23 million, a candidate who genuinely ignited the grassroots, and a Republican president who may or may not be (but probably is) under FBI investigation and can’t stop talking about it, the real question Democrats need to answer is: What’s it going to take to win an election in the era of Trump? As of Tuesday night, they still have no idea. (hat tip dailybeast.com)
