Special elections are a different animal than a general election - a lot of people dont know there is an election today
Which is strange - why did we stop talking about these? The last several they are hardly mentioned until after the fact. Before, the whole country knew they were going on in individual districts. Remember Georgia 6 last year? Everyone was talking about it for a month ahead of time - every radio talk show, on a routine basis. Now, not a peep. And Democrats keep slipping in the back door ever since these races started being ignored by the conservative media across the board.
