State Legislature Special Election Mega Thread

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Wow a couple thousand dollars could have helped the SCDP pull an upset there. A 7-point swing to the Dems with a 10-3 spending disadvantage? If that was closed up it could have been more like Oklahoma. The SCGOP should be lucky the SC Dems are disorganized.

Not a chance

Another ''family values'' GOPer caught w/ his pants down:

But he's just making his family a bigger one, nothing wrong with that. /s

The f*** is with the OK Republican Party?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

OK-GOV is a serious opportunity for Dems I think it is a more realistic pickup than Maryland and Massachusetts.

Nah, Maryland isn't even *that* heavy a lift.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Yeah, that's a district with lots of blue-collar workers, so Democrats were expected to have at least some difficulties here. Feeney association with Sanders was, probably, an asset here - many such workers hated Hillary, but loved Bernie...

Plus there was a left-wing independent candidate.

I wonder if we can get anyone good to run against Sean Duffey this cycle, he strikes me as being quite the paper-tiger and a Mourdock/Akin waiting to happen.  Thoughts from our Wisconsin posters?  I know this is technically the wrong board, but this seemed like the most logical place to ask about this given last night’s results.

I’m hoping he’s the Senate nominee in 2022 instead when RoJo retires. Even in a Republican wave year, as 2010 showed us, Republican senate candidates with foot-in-mouth disease are notorious for blowing it. He’d be much more ideal for someone like Ron Kind to face than, say, Mike Gallagher. And a Senate seat>>>a House seat

Yeah, he’s borderline unelectable statewide.

Revis wins. D+1.

But...but...but Wulfric said Missouri Democrats never win anything

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Well, I at least love the different directions explaining tonight is taking:

MO campaign consultant: Blame Greitens!
Pressler: Still a great night, we shouldn't have expected to get every single seat!
Atlas Dems: Trump/Grietens/Dem was a moderate

But of course, my own explanation, voter fraud, is correct.

Dude, get over yourself

Final GA Numbers in. Embarrassing performance for Democrats here. With the races last month, and now this race, there is clearly something seriously wrong with the GA DEM PARTY. Doesn't bode well for GA-GOV 2018.

Counties/Precincts Reporting: 100 %
TREVA GEAR (DEM)23.55 %778
JOHN LAHOOD (REP)70.73 %2,337
BRUCE PHELPS (REP)2.21 %73
COY REAVES (REP)3.51 %116
3,304

I'm not concerned at all; actually I'm outraged because I looked at these results closely and it's pretty obvious the Republicans committed voter fraud here.
