“There’s a wider problem here though.”
The explanation is in the post #145.
In the past the dems didn’t spend any money trying to win this district. But in this special election they overspent the gop and saturated the tv with ads.
But they still lost.
Scott Brown managed to pull off a win in that Massachusetts special election years ago without any help. Obama was just that toxic.

Well, Martha Coakley was an awful candidate.
Ossoff’s advertising budget doesn’t explain why Trump only won the district by 1 point from Clinton when every previous R nominee had won by 20+ points.
That’s is a good comparison. 8 million for a primary/runoff is astounding. I did rough math on this and even in a bad year, the Pub candidate can get 140k (up to 200k+ on a good year). Even in their best year, the dem candidate can only muster 124k; been that way for awhile.
