I mean really. Did he? Or was he over-hyped? Parnell came closer to defeating Norman in SC-05. At one point, I was thinking Parnell was gonna win SC-05 and Handel was gonna win GA-06.
IMHO - no. 30 year old "boy", who didn't even lived in the district, is not a good candidate in mostly white, absolutely "southern", mostly middle-age, well-to-do and solidly Republican by leanings (even if anti-Trump) district. Even with obscene amount of money. And his only political experience as John Lewis assistant wasn't a big help either: Lewis is (deservedly) a civil rights icon, but hardly GA-06 icon.
