This was a district the Dems were hoping to get which is white, college educated and has money. Again they failed. Without these type of voters they can't win in 2018 and they know it. What about the all of the good eligible democrats who may run, if they would have won they could have said look at what we did here. Now those Democrats will go no where near a red district only securing existing Repub seats in Congress.
What about Ryan who is the real winner. Those in Congress can now relax and Ryan can say Trump won't hurt you in 2018 if you push Healthcare. Now Ryan can push whatever and sell Trump to those in Congress. Those Republicans could have said no to Trump and gone their own way and passed nothing through Congress because they were scared in 2018. Now they don't have to because of this important victory.
I could go on and on but this wasn't just one seat. It meant so much more politically and now they GOP can get back to work for the American people.
This entire thread exemplifies the difference between two parties and the way we "conduct ourselves."
OP starts with TRUMP BACKLASH in title, warns everyone that this is KEY battle to winning the war and why(oops how did that work out for ya') and attacks everyone who might have a different viewpoint. This is exactly what's wrong right now in this nation. Someone unbalanced, unhinged, enraged, and emotional about the POTUS and everything he does. All because he has an R not a D next to his name. I'm like TRUMP..Conservative on some things, very open minded on others.He is going to surprise everybody and I think he's smart enough to realize he MUST begin working with DEMS in the very near future (ie IMMIGRATION in 2018)
I suggest most of us should just sit back and see where all the cards fall. DJT is in a very tough position having to preside over a great nation that a community organizer successfully DIVIDED. That's the FACT! We are split by $$$, race, and now more than ever, AGES.. The world is changing so fast with technology, that luckily, IVANKA and Jarod (DJT's liberal youngon's)are all over it.Did you hear all the TECH CEO's praising their meeting with them Monday?? It was unreal.Silicon Valley actually praising Trump? WTF!! Thank God!!
THE GOP now has a mandate and hopefully, they don't do foolish things(again, this closed door healthplan reeks terribly but they're just doing same thing DEMS did with OBAMACARE)
MR SCAL, I thoroughly enjoy reading your BB and all your FB handicapping threads and your factual reasonings..but..here in this thread YOU COULD not be more wrong. Your reasonings were wrong, you encouraged everyone to get the best odds while lowest, and shamed others who you disagreed with. Especially those with valid supporting arguments. Then you come back in here and bash us. I didn't reply to your attacks. I just stated this election was being overblown by folks who I described above. And then you blame it on, among other excuses, "rain" 
You should be ashamed 
You should be ashamed Hopefully, someday, folks like you will be tolerant, open minded, and learn from others. That's why I enjoy coming in this forum. Most of the left leaning posters I've learned that I have to be open and understand where they are coming from. I just disagree and won't even begin to debate with (like you). It's not worth it.I know some folks here feel the same way towards me but oh well.....they don't live my life, I do..
Look forward to your threads this fall and sincerely hope you don't have hard feelings cuz I don't... REmember, it's all about the $$.

Touche. You do have a little humor in you.
Having said that, it did rain. That's typically a 1 to 1.5% drop in Dem vote historically on bad weather days. Wouldn't have gotten me over the top but worth noting.

Funny moment of the night was when Handel didn't even mention Trump just said President and the crowd went wild saying TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. Say what you want but his Twitter helped her a lot.
The Dems admit after this they need to try and figure something else out because always mentioning Trump isn't working. You still think it's just one seat ClubDirt?
yes, it's one seat out of 435 in a district they've always won by much more and it's one very expensive seat for about a year although i'm sure the republicans will be huge favorites to win it again in 2018.
you can interpret winning a seat by 5 points that they usually win by 20-30 as some groundbreaking achievement that has reverberations across the country. i just don't agree. 2018, when there will be many elections, including elections in districts that are actually competitive or where a 15-25 point swing like this one might cause a republican who won by 10 points last time and thinks he/she is safe might be different.
but, it's too early to predict how those will go.

i've lived and worked all over this district. it's not one a democrat is likely to ever win. a lot of white, rich areas, a lot of dumb white rednecks with a small portion of minorities gerrymandered in with dekalb county.
any district that includes this isn't likely to elect a democrat.

it's actually amazing that a 30 year old who doesn't even live in the district came so close but i'm guessing it'll revert back to its normal easy republican win in the future when it's not an isolated media frenzy event like this time.

instead of blowing a small fortune on a unwinnable seat.
why dont you concentrate on Poliquins seat in the second district maine or others like it.
that seat was held by a Democrat for decades, Michaud ran for governor and Emily Cain is about as palatable as sour milk, but A working class citizen displaced by closure of Paper Mills through out the district could retake that seat. The district did vote for Trump and Voted for Legalizing Marijuana, sent more democrats to the state house then Republicans in the district as a whole and only voted for trump by the national monuments potential to stop Bear hunting.
Incidentally the creator of the national Park system Theodore Roosevelt hunted bear there being guided by William Sewall and Wilmot Dow.
anyway that seat could be won by a blue collar union card carrying Democrat such as Michaud potrayed till he staggered out of the closet.....
but i am sure the party will have another stooge no way they could possibly endorse Troy Jackson. D senate majority leader 1st district.

Is there a way too combine this thread with the "Top Ten Reasons People Hate Scal" thread? There's so many reasons that are contained in this one thread. Now watch. He'll accuse me of being a race traitor and cozying up to bigots even though i've said nothing about politics.

Despite the fact people "hate" me, no one wants me to leave.
I wonder why?
Maybe it's because of my capping in the main forums (oh I don't know that Warriros game 1 thread was one of the best EVER not only on this site but in the entire WORLD for an NBA game).
And that capping will have money rolling into covers posters' coffers like the money counting machines in Pablo Escobar's drug dens.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Can ya hear that? That's the sounds of the hundreds FLYING through the machine.

Now this is an AWESOME reply......
But it still won't WANT ME to open another of your "mucho CONTROVERSIAL" threads......those were the BEST days of Covers..when we can laugh at what we're READING...
...those were the BEST days of Covers..when we can laugh at what we're READING...Like I've typed in other threads...like Archie and Edith sang prophetically together.. AND .despite Meathead glaring on from the other side of the piano...."those were the days..".....
WE ALL NEED TO LAUGH TO GET THROUGH all. of this...it's hysterical AND HISTORICAL at the same time....

Just because you wrote a long, scalesque write-up doesn't mean you can take credit for a pick that most people, including most novice, were on. You act like you gave the Warriors, the consensus favorite in a Championship game meaning there's only two sides to pick, you act like to gave this to the covers world and deserve credit. This iswhy people hate you. You think you're this great capper when everyone knows that you're not. You break your arms patting yourself on the back on a daily. You literally praised yourself for an LSU pick you made in like february. I remenber laughing about how much you were praising yourself about it when it happened, which is the only reason I remembered it. When I saw you bring in June I dropped my tablet. Yoy have to be a huge loser to bring up picks from months ago. You have to be a huge loser to gloat about picking the Warriors in game 1. Maybe if you told everyone to lay extra points on an alt line you'd have a leg to stand on. You think you're a better capper than most simply because your write-ups are longer. News flash: There are plenty of long books out there, that doesn't make them all War and Peace. You really are delusional but maybe the #1 reason to hate Scal, and I realize that is a different thread, is that you can't admit when you're wrong. And tou're wrong often. Look at this thread. It starts with you confidently touting a political candidate with a looooong Scal write-up. Then you double and triple down on said pick. "I got it at this...now it's that...you guys need to jump on it...you need to max this bet out...play of the century..." I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist. Then when you lost, rather than being a man and saying, "Well, guys, I was off on that one." you make excuses. You claim to not have been as big on it as you said. You claimed to have knew the other side would win. In essence you capped this with your heart which is a mistake rookies make but you weren't man enough to admit it. Now if you would've been right, we would hearing you sing your own praise for the next six months. I used to think you were just a harmless novelty. Now I realize you are truly sick. I've said it many times before. Your heart is in the right place. You want to live in a world of unity, without racism. You want to help people win with your loooong (lately oft wrong) write-ups. You're not a fake tout pumping a facebook page, or instagram, whatever. Your heart is in the right place but your ego gets in the way. And that leads to flawed execution. That's why people hate you. Not because you prove them wrong but because you always think you're right.

Putting aside that Democrats are weather weaklings and only account for 1/1.5% in low Democrat voter turn-out.
Why did Ossloff lose?
It wasn't because of President Trumps approval rating ..because it was low...
It wasn't the lack of funds .....(to influence the electorate) ..because he had a record amount. Many people that ran for President in 2016 did have nearly as much..
The polling was in his favor till the last day...
So,why was it that Ossloff lost ?
Why were the people of that district denied the opportunity to give the middle finger to President Trumps administration?
One thing fo shizzle the ballot box did speak volumes and it was because of the high Republican turn-out.

You think I care?
Because that is the implication, in that, my 'judgement is clouded', hence if I am here posting a Democrat it is in part, illegitimate, because I am one.
That is LUDICROUS given I've bet against my teams on this very site HUNDREDS of times in my life! In fact I SEEK it out as good bets!
And when the time comes to bet ON my team, I am no less a capper, in that I am pointing out a spot where I think my team will win.
Do I want Ossoff to win as a Democrat? OF COURSE. But I don't have a stake in that state.
The real stake comes with my money and I maxed out this exotic.
Oh, and by the way, the line is up to Ossoff -180.
I hope those who read this jumped on it at -145 and will still be willing to swallow a -180 pill for less profit. He will win.

And again, what do I gain by saying I maxed out a political prop bet??? LOL. Who cares. You don't bet my money and I don't bet yours.
I bet $10 or $10,000. What the hell do you care? (Apparently a lot because here you are up my a** again. But not so much in the NBA playoffs where I crushed of course).

This is a seat the Republicans should have won by 10 to 20 percent. Democrats expecting to flip seats in deep-red states are probably too insane to realize how unlikely it is, but since he was able to actually have a close race with her, it tells me that purple states will probably get flipped in a lot of areas.
