First off the NYTimes has Handel, the GOP candidate, in the lead by 1.7 percent with 24 percent reporting.

Now to the dump threads, new bonfires:

1. Only early votes in Fulton county as of this point.

There will be a hundred plus more thousand votes in that County when all counted.

Over four hundred thousand voted in that County for President. Clinton took it with sixty nine percent of the vote.

13. That would be mostly early vote. That is positive as long as Ossoff vote turned out today.

Republicans tend to lead early vote. The fact that Handel is behind looks good.

I'd say it's possible he could win.

And it gets better. Seems there was a US House election in SC and the GOP candidate won that as well.

So, with GA and that race I had not heard of in SC, the Ds are 0-5 in their special elections come-back? Am I understanding and counting correctly?

The extra sweet thing about GA is that the D Party dumped enormous $$ into that race. That's $$ that can't do mischief elsewhere, and the succession of losses might discourage a few of the Ds' big-$$ donors' generosity.

Had the Ds won even one of the seats the MSM would have ballyhooed it as the harbinger of national rejection of Trump. Now, it's on to the next fake-news faux-scandal-of-the-week.

The only downer is that somewhere a bunch of left wing nut jobs (pardon the redundancy), who have been further radicalized by the MSM and their hate filled comrades and triggered by their promises that Ossoff would win, are now plotting to shoot as many Republicans/conservatives they can. Let's hope they are stopped before they kill anyone else.

I really enjoyed watching the Dems move the goal posts and claim moral victory last night on Twitter. Their favorite talking point was the fact that Republicans took the district by 20 points in 2016, and only 8 in this election. That tells them that Republicans are in trouble.

OMG...that was a mighty expensive moral victory!
