Of course he stood a chance. It was the closest race in ages there.
And there you have it. In other news, why can't the Dems find candidates with roots in the district, and a record of accomplishment therein? We had such a "rootless" carpetbagger from NYC candidate last time in NY-19 (an area not totally enamored with the Big Apple), and well she was a LOSER, despite her glitzy veneer.
What good people could the Dems run? What sort of bench did Dems have?
Ossoff was a great candidate. He had little of a record to attack, and he came close to winning a fundamentally conservative suburban district north of Atlanta. He should have moved to Roswell or promised to move in the seat if he won, but still, he did great. This was a seat Romney won by 23! points.
