Hey, he only lost by 88 points, that's pretty close.
Actually, in that area, it is a GOP landslide. I voted in a special election bordering that district (they may overlap now, with redistricting) in the 1990's. The Republican came in third.
In really bad weather, there was an outside shot for an upset. The weather improved.
The deluge! The deluge is coming!
Although to be fair, JJ has stumbled onto a pretty salient point. Republicans biggest enemy isn't the Democratic party. It's turnout. Republicans loathe a high turnout. The fewer the people voting the better. A good election day is one of gale force winds and 12 inch snow.
It's fascinating the a political party's fortune is defined not be who's voting but by who's not.
