Will O'Connor run again in November? I think he can win then due to slightly higher turnout.
Higher turnout usually works in the Dems favor?
If O'Connor had won, he'd have had a shot in the fall, but this is historically GOP territory. This isn't areas where there was ancestral loyalty or where union voters could make the difference.
Here's the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are congratulating themselves for the good fight they put up, while Republicans won by a hair and act like they have a mandate. (I believe they'll win; those provisional ballots aren't likely to shift the vote, although it's possible.) Something to thing about.
