Hillary was at least smart enough not to campaign for Ossoff, protecting her brand.
Ossoff's leftist platitudes in concession and Donna Brazile's #NeverSurrender #OnwardTogether tweet doesn't give one much hope for their party future.
Start of something bigger, yadda, yadda.

It seems like you are the one going bonkers.
And it was gerrymandered.
Measured by Hillary's %, there are only 27 "less Republican" GOP-held seats in the House. So it fact, this is really actually a toss-up district.

Damn Russians again, Flagpole.
Damn them all to hell!
Nah...no Russians this time (at least I don't believe so).
Not a good outcome for Democrats. Not the end of the world, but it keeps the nutso Trump legitimacy going longer. Oh well.

Parnell was also an "evil" Wall Streeter (hi Goldman Sachs!), except he had the (D) by his name, so the MSM didn't mention that.

Et tu, Flagpole? Has the FSB gotten to even you?
Putin, you magnificent b@stard!
In what I believe was his concession speech, Ossoff said he and his supporters stood up against divisiveness and scapegoating. Yet I feel that the Democrats are little if not divisive with their support of race- and sex-based "Affirmative Action." And with their zealotry for abortion, the Democrats are brutally divisive.
I am pleased that Ossoff lost.
I'm not sure what "unqualified" means here, as she held office before.

Seems that all the breeders voted for her.
Handel, who had previously lost primary bids for governor and U.S. senator, signed the anti-tax pledge of Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). Ossoff refused to sign.
In addition, Handel vowed to repeal Obamacare and replace it with the American Health Care Act favored by President Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan. Ossoff ran as a backer of Obamacare.
But several sources in the Peach State who spoke to Newsmax agreed that the issue of Planned Parenthood and whether it should receive tax dollars played a pivotal role in Handel’s win.
Where Ossoff supported Planned Parenthood funding and received an estimated $1 million from the controversial organization, Handel campaigned as an opponent of Planned Parenthood. She also had a particular history with the controversial organization: In 2012, she resigned in protest as a vice president of the Susan G. Komen cancer foundation after it reversed a decision to end its grants to Planned Parenthood.
“Planned Parenthood was the principal issue,†former Georgia Rep. John Linder, a past chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Newsmax, “She handled if deftly. Ossoff said that she stopped Susan G Komen contributions to Planned Parenthood for ‘lifesaving breast cancer screening.’ She responded that Planned Parenthood doesn’t even own a mammogram.â€
Linder added that “this fed into a theme that Ossoff has been lying since the beginning of the race. He didn’t have a ‘top secret’ clearance, as he claimed, Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms and he doesn’t live ‘just outside the district,’ but quite a way out.â€
Linder’s view was strongly seconded by Phil Kent, CEO of Insider Advantage and former editor of the Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle.
“Planned Parenthood was a big issue in the race, and the pro-lifers came out heavily for Karen Handel in response to her record of fighting Planned Parenthood,†he told us, “Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed estimated most of its 107,000 identified ‘faith voters’ in the district turned out for Handel.â€
[D]emocrats still have literally no idea why they keep losing elections. If they did they would have run a real candidate with a real job who understands the constituents he is attempting to represent.
Instead, Democrats put up a 30-year-old semi-employed documentary filmmaker who can’t even vote for himself because he doesn’t live in the district. He’s got a ton of trendy rich people positions on just about every topic – the abortion people love him. He is gravely concerned about climate and childhood obesity and the availability of organic kale. He thinks illegal aliens are noble. He went to the London School of Economics. He is super fit and way smarter than you want.
We could go on and on, but you’ve seen it all before. That’s the point. Voters have seen it before, too. And outside of Brooklyn and in the west side of L.A., they are not that into it. That’s why Democrats keep losing.
So Fagpole predicted another win and went humiliated beyond belief.
You can't fix stupid.
Now under 10000 and 4%. The mail-in is trending heavily Ossoff. He may be able to demand a recount yet.
Karen Handel (Republican) 51.9% 134,595
Jon Ossoff (Democratic) 48.1% 124,893
The fact that this is even a story and is within 5% is a big deal.
Handel wasn't going to lose this race. She's a career politician in a district which has been Republican since before Wejo was born. But a 30 yr old noob nobody made her sweat and made this a news story.
It's not about GOP vs DEM though....it's about a stand against the old guard. Nothing is safe anymore.

Noooo, the "NEWS" made this a "NEWS story" months ago. The 30 year old from another district was just along for the ride.
You have to see that, right?
