I was just thinking that. Instead of settling for merely weakening Schmidt, they'll come tantalizingly close to outright victory, their excitement going through the roof.... and THEN lose. They'll never stop screaming. :)
(Yes, I'm worried about these numbers too.)

We'll be fine, it will be closer than we want. But if the best thing that the D's have left is a special election close race with a fake Dem running against a non-incumbent woman (I know nothing about her), then let them think that they are back. They aren't learning any valid lessons here. This is not a Hillary dry run imho.
