As far as the DNC overall goes, thus far Perez has been spitting fire and blood--though the Ossoff race is the only game in town to prove anything. If they win this one (especially outright on the first go) it'll be interesting to see how many races the GOP will be unopposed in. 2016 had 24(!) unopposed seats. Coincidentally, that's the number needed to retake the majority.

Much more banal, I'd imagine--the majority of them are in deep red shitholes like alabama, louisiana, and oklahoma. A few in Texas and Utah. So the story is probably less "only guy available is the one the town drunk looks down on" and more "the state party has been utterly abandoned by the DNC and has zero resources."

At this point "lose badly" doesn't appear to be in the cards. If the GOP falls perfectly in line (as they do) he'll face a single-digit loss. Of course, that's in a second special election in June. Who the hell knows what will happen by then.

Xenoveritas posted:I don't think anyone's saying that the Democrats shouldn't try and win these seats, I just find the whole "we beat the spread, we beat the spread!!!" cheerleading to be hilarious. OK, sure, you beat the spread. You still lost, but you didn't lose as badly as you could have. Maybe some day you'll manage to win a seat somewhere. Thing is, he didn't lose. K2SO4 candidate lost, but Ossoff is headed to the runoff. If he loses that, then its an apt comparison
