Who will be blamed today?

Russia, rain, old white men, collusion, racism, sexism, Trump, Ivanka,Kushner, etc.

But this woman beat a man!

I remember the last win the Democrats had...last week they beat Republicans in a baseball game!

But the headline was stolen by the Bernie voter who shot Republicans!

I hope Scalise and the others will recover fast.

Democrats keep it going and bring it on as CNN can go back to collusion and Russia for the next 3 years.

Meanwhile we enjoy the recovering to MAGA!

I'm following the live discussion by political NYT reporters on their site. Fascinating - mostly in the excuse making - but it does show both their partisan bent and thought processes. Already claiming it was character attacks and Ossoff was too moderate as rationale for him losing. Hmm - they're so off their rocker - if you're going to try and flip a red district, being far left liberal is not a winning strategy but hey, I encourage the Democrats to run with that strategy, lol.

GOP house members who won last time by less than 15 points might have something to think about.
Don't know. Based on this result, Dems needs to be work on their message going forward.

Any Handel win will send the Democratic organization into true panic. If they don't get this message and see their own faults; they will no longer be a Party in the very near future. It will prove the 'deplorables' are not stupid enough to be bought. The Democrats have to come back to their roots if they want to survive - they have to come back to supporting average working America.
They did not outspend Republicans by 7:1 take a look:

I'm going with the Russian's. Boris, Natasha, and Bullwinkle.

Its been the most popular this season.

The good news is the loser is a film maker and now he can go and make a movie on expert losers. No shortage of potential stars in the Democrat anarchy party. They're stacking up like cord wood. With the occasional snake in the pile.

Disappointing loss for Democrats, even in a Republican-heavy district. She was a candidate who embraced the typical Republican line of favoring business over workers, so that along with the current anti-Trump sentiment on a national level shows Democrats still don't have enough of a message of their own right now. There are no moral victories when you have both houses and the presidency occupied by the opposition.
