Seat didn't look remotely vulnerable until very very recently and there are other races that they have a better shot at.

that 20k request was for those junk mail things they send out to try to get people to vote, it wouldn't move it 3% points lol

how many people even knew there was a special election though

I vote in everything I can and I was caught off guard last week when my mother called me to inform me that there was a referendum vote happening Tuesday morning, I'd never heard about it until that moment, I ended up being one of like 20,000 people to vote in a 350k metro area

moderately annoying

For what it's worth, if Sedgewick county has the same level of turnout as the rest of the district there are still about 50,000 votes left to be counted there. That's 1/2 of the total votes tallied so far.

getting the left to vote for a president is hard enough, it's a herculean labor to get them to vote for a special election or, god forbid, midterms

lol whatever happened to the <10 is a win crew

I thought you knew better than to expect anything but self-defeating ignorant hate from these hicks

The lesson here is that the path to victory is a combination of running progressives and making GBS threads hard on the GOP so that the CHUDs who will never, ever, ever vote for a Dem ever just don't turn out

You couldn't have asked for a situation more likely to tailor an upset and it still was never gonna deliver. You were warned. Now get screaming and shaming and don't stop until 2020

the <10 crew will be validated if the democrats win the georgia seat

Seriously, this R+15, with less resources and attention, is looking to settle at about a R+6 win. This is good and signals to other GOPers that Tromp bad.

If the dems can imitate this in Georgia, they could have a shot at a normally R+8 seat (and one that Hillary did far better in than KS-4). But they're dems, so.........

there were 23 candidates in CA-34, each of whom had their own mailers to send to people in the district over a period of weeks. one time i opened my mailbox and it practically exploded from all the pressurized campaign literature that was suddenly let loose

turnout was still under 10%

Only realistic chance a Dem has in any of these districts is if they run a pro-life. Johnson and Kander ticked every other checkbox and still lost.

I called <10 a victory condition and I'm sticking with it, break out the wine! Sorry you chumps got convinced that these cousin fuckers were ever going to vote for a guy who wasn't rabidly anti-abortion and obsessed with the threat of Muslims blowing up the hayseed bank lmao

Look at the upside. Kansas continues to burn and the GOP sweats bullets anyway because it was a 24 point or whatever shift in 6 months.
