it all comes down to crucial union county

union's already reported

parnell's slightly outperforming in york county which is the bulk of the district, but he'd need to hold it to a ~10 point loss to really stand a chance

I'm glad Ossof is losing. He embodies everything that is wrong with the Democratic party.

I'm also glad it's a close loss so that Republicans feel a little heat

well considering the democratic party is dead, irrelevant, and directly at odds with all of its voters, still managing to get a lot of begrudged votes in opposition to the other guys is decent news i guess

eh, it's not terrible considering it's two districts they'd otherwise lose 20+

but the fact they're both looking fairly close despite the party dumping 40 million or whatever and the other one nobody even heard about until a couple days ago shows the way forward isn't running uninspiring centrist dweebs

ossoff's district is only R+8, and since pvi looks at the national average i think that means basically 6 points over 50/50

i mean more money = more ads = more Hype = higher turnout = bad for dems in a gop district, it's not hard. probably parnell did well because it was a sleeper race, not because sc-05 suddenly decided they love goldman sachs
