[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 3000804, member: 18914"] Watch the post election spin for some real fun. I can predict it now: - Republicans will, naturally, point out that the win was a repudiation of the attempt by outside forces to influence a local election by bringing in and funding a carpet bagger (a very large proportion of Ossoff's funding came from CA and MA). They will also say it affirms that the wave that brought Trump into office is holding - Democrats will acknowledge the loss but say that the relatively narrow loss margin, in what was once Newt Gingrich's district, shows that the future belongs to them and that it is a harbinger of trouble to come for Republicans My view is that while of each of the above may be true to some degree, most local elections are just that, local. News professionals and party partisans love to read way too much into these elections because it helps with rallying the troops and fund raising. [/QUOTE]
