Woah. You were the one wringing your hands saying the Dems picked up 2 seats. They didn’t.
No, the GOP shouldn’t have lost the seat. Yes, the Democrats are turning out in these special elections while GOPers are sitting home. It tends to happen to the party in power. The party in power sits on their laurels and the party out of power gets energized.
The next big election is PA-18. If you want to do something, donate to Rick Saccone.
Special elections are always low turnout, and their base is energized. That’s just a fact. Instead of crying, fight. Let’s get the turnout for Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania.
Thanks for the info on the PA-18 race.
Are you keeping a list of these Special Elections, nationwide? If so, would you mind posting a list, for us to keep up with, too?
TIA.
Plus it’s an election in February with an ice storm on the way. Governor Grieten’s affair (though he was a democrat at the time so it really shouldn’t count against him, should it?) probably didn’t help the Republican brand.
