All I can say is that it's a win for Republicans and a huge drain on hollywierd's pocket books! Sooner or later their money's gonna run out..

yep, it was a slam dunk..... 52 percent last I saw.... happy as heck, but way to close... I don't think it was that close, given today's divisive climate, and all the dirty, underhanded tricks the dimmys pulled to win this election in particular... More like a solid statement. 53-47 is not close

I don't think it was that close, given today's divisive climate, and all the dirty, underhanded tricks the dimmys pulled to win this election in particular... More like a solid statement. Reports were that two of the "lower class" districts had to stay open late and delay reporting while they *cough* repaired their ballot counting equipment which wasn't functioning properly... BUT until you can make this kind of stuff stop, they'll pull all the stops to get back to winning, just saying its not as solid as it should have been by far. A good win for sure, but 60% or more would have made a statement IMHO. THis just says its all crooked and we've not managed to change anything yet.

It simply shows how far down the drains this country has gone at this point.

Please show me an election (outside of N Korea of course) where the candidate received 100% of the vote.

I live in GA's 7th district, couldn't vote in the 6th. But I never saw a single poll showing the Democrats winning. CNN predicted a Republican win with a 52.6% to 47.4% advantage. And that was much closer than expected, which is what was being reported. Not a Democrat win. The final vote tally was 52.7% to 47.3%. I'd say that is pretty damn accurate.
I don't know what news the rest of you are getting in other parts of the country, but there was some legitimate concern here. Trump only won that district by 1.5% and that was way too close for comfort, especially in a district that hasn't voted Democrat since the 1970's. While a 6% point win may not seem close in many places, it is cause for concern here. The fact that a Democrat got close enough to force a runoff was concerning.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Final RCP average had the Republicans winning by less than one percent, but still a win for us.

What kind of analogy is that? 6 points in a political race is like 6 runs in a baseball game. Good win. Let me flash back to my post yesterday a.m. with info on the District. Note that I called ahead of time that this is a 53-47 District AS DRAWN right now. I'm happy today ends this campaign farce around here. Just to reiterate what we were saying yesterday-
The election will be interesting here. As of last week, the Dems have spent $26 million bucks to GOP $365,000 on this seat. It is a statisitacal dead heat, and I'm not going to be surprised either way. A few things to point out. The Dems will do ANYTHING for ANY victory right now. That includes spening an inordinately stupid amout of money to get a seat. This area is 53-47 GOP, but there is a NeverTrump Carpetbagger factor that may not support a GOP candidate of any sort. The Dem voters are 100% motivated to vote because the butthurt is very strong from last November, and despite the full Leftist blitz, Trump hasn't been slain in their eyes. They will all vote.

CEJ1895: That is a good point - diminish the pocketbooks of the hypocritical communists in hollywood!
That indeed was an added benefit from this special election.

The only thing more unreliable than polls are the fricking weather forecasts.

The game has changed and they don't know how to measure it. That's OK, just discredits them even more. I love surprises like "dead heat in GA 6", followed by a 6 point spread. What's not to like...

Final RCP average had the Republicans winning by less than one percent, but still a win for us. This was the worst and last year CNN had Hillary up by six points. June 10... (CNN)Democrat Jon Ossoff has a 7 percentage point edge over Republican Karen Handel among likely voters in a closely watched special election for a Georgia House seat, a new poll released Friday shows. Ossoff leads Handel 51% to 44% among likely voters in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll conducted June 5-8 by Abt Associates. The poll did not specify how many likely voters were included in the survey, but the figures have a 4-point margin of error, and with 5% saying they are still undecided, Ossoff's advantage could close.

BOWSINGER: After reading your post nothing has swayed me from my contention that for the last several (many!) election cycles, "polls" are nothing more than made up propaganda designed to intimidate and discourage traditional valued conservative Americans from voting!
For this reason and MANY others I have no respect what so ever for the mainstream media and journalists/journalism today.
They would rather lie and slant information than report the truth!
It is simply a fact anymore and that fact is a sad and sorry state of this situation.

What is funny, or maybe not so funny really, is that the election that nobody was paying any attention to or putting any money into because it was assumed it was a lock for the Republican, was the SC special election last night. That one was way closer, within 3 points.
A lesson I suppose to always stay vigilant.

I still have a land line so I get polled quite often and I NEVER tell those pricks what I'm going to do. I lie my ass off to them. Fcuk 'em.

257wby: I got a dinner time (5:30 PM!) polling call some weeks ago and it was about the "special election" for our states open United States Representative to congress position.
It was a human and he was from Montana and would not let on who's side he was on - I went along with the questions for some time and made it clear I was voting for Greg Gianforte and would not be swayed.
Then the caller/questioner notified me he had just a few last "profile" questions and started in on them - he got to my race and I fibbed a little saying "African-American" and the questioner HUNG UP on me!
He knew I was lying on that one.
He-he.

Other than the fact that the polls were wrong again, the part about this race that gets me, is the fact that Ossoff doesn't even live in the 6th District. They couldn't even find a Dem from that district? I'm sure it was legal, but it shouldn't be.

The problem in Ga was the Republican candidate, she is a 4 chinned, dumb ass RINO, a good candidate would have won in a landslide.
