Except, it wasn't. The biggest influence on the election result was the wildly inflated spending taking place. Ossoff, aided by a flood of money coming from out of Georgia, spent a record $22.5 million. This flush campaign chest meant that his campaign resembled a military operation, and with it he enjoyed a wildly imbalanced advantage over Handel in many crucial categories:

ADVERTISING

Ossoff: $11.2 million

Handel: $1.3 million



CAMPAIGN STAFF

Ossoff: 170 members

Handel: 14 members



POLLING/FOCUS GROUPS

Ossoff: 1.7 million

Handel: $374K

"Ossoff, aided by a flood of money coming from out of Georgia"

As in Russia-Georgia?

How sad is it when you can no longer buy votes, I read their spending came to about $83.00 per vote, so breaking down by eliminating the real votes they didn't pay for, that comes to nearly a grand per illegal vote, and they still lost.

 the Dim spin is it is no big deal. Now Downplaying this loss that was an everyone on deck. All the stars turn out, massive ground game, Media saturation, Robo calls, an army of door pounders But now, Well it was a republican district and their boy never had much of a chance anyway!
if true why are they blaming Pelosi with calls for her to step aside? This Georgia Race has rattled the Dim's a lot more then they'll ever admit. They really thought it was in the bag!

Living in that district, Grouchy Old Cripple had this to say (red added)....

I believe there are some 22 GOP seats the Donks need to flip if they want to take the House of Reprehensibles. Now they are $25 million poorer for potential donations, and at 7-0 are definitely resembling a farm team instead of major league.

Some here have labeled the winner as a RINO. She ain't a full-blown rat bastard commie, here, so take the win and hope for the best, eh?

0-7? I thought it was 0-5. Did I miss two embarrassments?
