Did we actually have enough votes to win that district? It is drawn to lean Republican. Did Independents break for Handel or did they just stay home?

At this point, we need to be building our own data trove. Where are our voters? Where do they live? Are they consistently voting? What will motivate them to consistently vote in special and non-Presidential election years?

I almost feel like it's back to the drawing board. We've run the best candidates in these last three special elections and we're still coming up short.

Are these constituents really happy with the way things are going? What would cause them to break this lock-step loyalty to the Republican party? Is there anything.

Feeling quite down right now.
