Have never seen so much money poured into a House race in my lifetime. It appears that Democrats are going to spend $30M to try to win one very winnable seat. And true to form, Ossoff is presenting himself as a conservative who is going to cut waste and defeat ISIS....in short, he is lying about what he believes in order to get elected, a very common attritbute of a Democrat politician. To the extent they pull off a win, and it is very possible they will, they will way overplay the significance. Trump only won this district by 1%. And the Democrats are offering free bus and uber rides to get young people to the polls. And they have outspent the GOP by 2 to 1.......all to win one seat.
They will of course not want to talk about every other special election that they have lost. They will focus on the one that they had to win by spending unsustainable or repeatable amounts of money on a candidate willing to lie to get elected. That folks is an act of desparation for them to hold a seat until 2018 when Ossoff will be voted out of office....assuming he wins in the first place. My polling place which is a solidly conservative area was as busy as I have seen it on an off-year election.
