Great article about how Democrat star candidate Ossoff was able to lose to an unknown woman despite an enormous advantage in funding, media support, celebrity support and support from national politicians.

All Handel had was almost no funding and the support of Donald Trump.

The polls and media pundits said Ossoff was far ahead and a sure winner. Just like they said about Hillary Clinton.

So we don't really need to "get the money out of politics" after all.

Everybody in GA knows Karen Handel. She was previously Secretary of State. She also ran for Purdue’s Senate seat.

She is a terrible campaigner though.

Karen Handel is quite well known in Georgia. She was a very good Secretary of State, did a lot of work to make elections safer from vote fraud. She’s had several unsuccessful runs for public office since then - she is not particularly photogenic or well-spoken. But she’s not a bad candidate. She’ll do O.K.

"I have received non-stop calls, texts emails for two months solid. It's harassment honestly," local artist Sydney Daniel told Business Insider. "I liked Ossoff before but now I don't want to vote at all because of how obnoxious and ruthless they have been."

"Phone Calls, junk mail, emails, and guys coming up to my door banging for a vote," Rebecca Honness, a lifelong resident of the district, said as she described the aggressive campaigning. "That was truly scary... having someone knock on my door about an election. ... I've never had that happen before."

That's what happens when you throw too much money and resources...

The major media have totally poisoned the well on any political discourse.

After months of non stop media Trump bashing, the average citizen does not want to talk politics with strangers under any circumstances.

Therefore a door knocker for a campaign delivers the meta-message that the candidate is an idiot.

If the message is anti-Trump the meta-message is “I am here to harass you.”

So is this a new record?

I've heard it said that the Democrats spent $176 per vote in this special election. Does anyone know of a more expensive campaign?

Ossoff should move to California and challenge Pelosi.

[Regulator]

If you told Bay Area nose pickers that Ossoff was a “carpetbagger” they’d think it was a compliment.

They have no idea what that means to people in the South.

At least the Americans that are left there.

Handel plenty of money from Ryan’s pac.

For only One Million, I would have driven to GA, got the right address, and voted for PJ boy.

I am so willing to help.
