but that's not a reason to not address that giant fucking elephant.

And yes not an excuse, just plain, simple, f'ing fact!

The lack of paper ballots did not cost us this election.

the previous office holder won by 20 points, and the GOP nominee was well-known and running against a Dem who was unknown.

but it's a red, red district that kept sending Gingrich back to Washington.

Republicans are not congratulating themselves over this win, it was far too close.

Yeah, we were probably not going to win, even had the weather cooperated, which it definitely didn't. However, a race this close in a safe GOP district bodes ill for the party as a whole. Ossoff ran a clean, smart campaign. I hope we hear a lot more from him.

I honestly think Handel is a place holder at best, and will be primaried out as soon as the district finds a presentable male.
