Back to back close losses are still loses. Dems spending but not realizing any gains.

that's not how jungle primaries work. it's not a loss.

you need to get a different sort of scorebook

Romney won this district by like 20%. They held their nose to vote for Trump. The fact that Ossoff even has a chance against a normal Republican is good news.

I agree, but the head to head will be much harder to win. It is a Republican leaning district, and now the field is less scatterbrained. The results wasn't a win for either side. If Ossof would have had less than 40% he would have been in trouble, but where he ended wasn't as strong as a kick in the nuts as the Kansas result. The good thing, is that apparently Handel has a bad favorable rating in the district (for what that is worth).

idk. he has a pretty solid shot to win the head to head. the R lady got less than 20 percent. sure add up all the R votes and it is neck and neck, but they have to come out again in june and vote for someone they didnt vote for weeks prior. it isnt like it is some easy task for Rs to win this thing in a district they should probably pretty easily win.

Yeah, I just mean for what it may portend nationally in 2018 in real swing districts. This is solid R land where we are still making inroads. Still, think Ossoff is probably a little under a coinflip for the runoff.
