Poor Rachel Maddow...the Liberal Lefts Eye of the Tiger
Once again she is having another difficult time losing.
"She Went There: Maddow Laments ‘Partisan Implications’ of ‘Bad Weather’ for Georgia Election"
Folks, you had to know it would happen. When it became clear on Tuesday that Georgia Democratic congressional candidate Jon Ossoff was going to blow tens of millions of dollars and lose to Republican Karen Handel, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow suggested that heavy rain in Georgia had “partisan implications” that affected the special election.
Later in the hour around the 9:48 p.m. Eastern mark, Maddow again offered a mini-meltdown, this time blaming money in politics for the outcome.
“If nothing else, we're getting a real-time result of what it means when more money is spent to try to win a congressional seat than at any other time and for any other seat in American history,” she fretted.
No, Rachel, I think this proved that just because you had more than $23 million (Ossoff) to your opponent’s $4.5 million (Handel), that doesn’t mean you’ll win the election.
The media have already began spinning the race as yet another moral victory for Democrats. Faux Republican Steve Schmidt told MSNBC viewers in the following hour that Handel’s win should somehow leave moderate GOP district members “nauseous.”

To quote Frank Luntz: "If The Democrats can't win with this much money, message, and ground game, they can't win. Period." They just bought a $30 Million tweet from Donald Trump....

Re: Georgia on my Mind - OMG!
Once again Tj posts distortions from right wing sources. Yes, Ossloff campaign out spent Mandel as noted, but 15 million came from small individual donors (<$200). What is omitted is Mandel's $18 million in "dark money" (far more than Ossloff) from super PAC's, national party committees, etc. When all the bucks are counted over 60 million will have been spent.

Re: Georgia on my Mind - OMG!
In my opinion, regardless of all the analysis and opining as to why Ossoff lost and Handel won, what it all boils down to is the Democrats really needed a win here. They didn't get it.
