I'm guessing a Gomez/Anh run-off.

I think the NRCC is worried about margins. Getting a close result in a seat like that could build talk of an anti-Trump wave. Scares off potential challenger recruits, makes incumbents give some thought to retiring rather than run a tough race.

Fun Fact: This was Ted Cruz's best CD in the primary/caucuses. Got 62% of the vote here, even better than in WI-05.

By the way I'm loving having a special election every Tuesday. We should just elect the House this way.

For the record, the worst performance I can find for Republicans since they took the seat in 1994 was in 2000, when Todd Tiahrt won by *only* 12 points.

Stop getting me all excited, people. Now I have to commit to sitting at my computer for the next few hours pressing refresh instead of, you know, eating and doing taxes.

I've missed this high.

Sad to see so many people on Twitter just seeing this as "DNC screws up another race"

Thompson just announced he's running for KS-4 in 2018. Lol.

Thompson: "We've sent a message that no Republican district is safe."
