I'm looking for some live coverage of the run off and cant find it on any of the cable news stations.

Not CNN, not FOX, not MSNBC.

The only TV commercials that work are the Republican ones since they're the only people still watching traditional TV.

Also during sports, run political ads during sports.

my blazing hot take: the dems should have funded parnell more!!!

mine: after a certain point funding doesn't matter and is largely a way to enrich candidates and their crony network instead of actually helping them win

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

cook pvi is an educated guess and it's only rated that close this year because clinton outperformed there relative to other races

the closest house race there in decades was last year where price won by a measly 23 points

dems didn't even bother running a candidate in 2010 or 2004

the clinton numbers are more meaningful than how some no name with no money performed against an incumbent a decade ago, though those numbers will be helpful for inflating the significance of the close loss tonight

And have a candidate people actually like so they engage on social media as 'brand ambassadors'.

As lovely and as tech buzzy as that sounds it's what Trump had and it worked.

if that trend continues, he'd win
