It’s a huge outlier. But I do think the race will be closer than usual.

I know they're desperate to break their losing streak (Virginia, Alabama, Pennsylvania, etc.), and polls I've seen show that Republican Lesko is leading in what should be a safe seat:

That's $383,000 the Republican party can't spend somewhere else. What do they know or suspect that this special is drawing off so much cash? Is Tipirmeni really that close? Keep an eye on this, DUers; we could have another upset a-borning.
