This is a great ad. I hope every single trickle down and libertarian incumbent gets an opponent like this running ads like this.

We've put up with their nonsense in silence for 40 years. It is time to take our country back from the Randians. It is time to end their Utopian social engineering.

Holy crap that's good. He has the look of a blue collar guy that will help him connect with the working person in Wisconsin. He might have a chance.

Union ironworker and political organizer, he'll get roasted on that by every deep pocketed PAC.

The ad is a little too cheesy if you ask me. Next time they need to tone down the "oh look how dramatic our music is " BS. I like the guy though and if he gets to debate Ryan it could be fun as heck to watch!

I hate ham-fisted music cues too (I hate, for example, the atmospheric music of every movie made since 1988), but the pragmatic fact is they work. The majority of our fellow beings have thinking that is between half and wholly immersed in emotional soup, so that type of delivery which you and I find galling and manipulative is a perfect delivery vehicle to reach them.

An amazing piece in Vox which if it plays out is extremely positive. This is what it would look like if I wrote the narrative I wanted a solid fiscal conservative to have in their minds right now. These people basically sound like intelligent conservatives who sussed out Trump and now don't want to embolden a Trump-led GOP. We will lose them the second Trump is no longer in the WH but for now they are who we need to cross over to us to fight the knucks.

I was blown away to find GA-6 is 6th in the country for % of BAs or above voting. It must be a college bedroom community. This is a bellwether for educated conservatives.

Without having read the Vox article, which have said exactly this...

I remember hearing that about the GA-6 recently as well. I was surprised. It's being read as a bellwether by Cook* and other politicos for the college-educated voter. The GOP has held that bloc for a while now and it seems to be trending back to the center over the last year or two. And that's a big deal.

*That's where I heard it! It was Amy Walter from the Cook Political Report on MTP this weekend.

ETA: Here's the transcript:

A few reasons why this election matters though. First, this is a test for the kind of district Democrats must win if they are going to take back the House in 2018. Places where Republicans won the House seat, Tom Price won this district by 23 points, and Donald Trump struggled. In fact, there are 23 districts where a Republican won the House seat, but Hillary Clinton won the presidential vote.

If Ossoff wins here, it suggests Republicans in those districts have a lot to worry about. Second, education. Republicans are losing educate voters. Of the ten top districts for college-educated voters, Democrats won nine of them in 2016.

Georgia's Sixth was the only one they lost. So if they can't win swing districts like this, their chances of taking back the House are extraordinarily slim.

CHUCK TODD:

We're back now with the panel. Just saw that Georgia Sixth. Amy, you do House races more than anybody at this table. That's how you started your career here. Georgia's Sixth, the importance of it. Why does it matter and what's overhyped?

AMY WALTER:

I think you laid it out perfectly. This is the kind of district that Democrats need to win. And there are other suburban, well-educated districts that Democrats are competing in in 2018, already have candidates there. But if they don't win in this special election, it's going to be a big sort of depressing moment for them.

Districts like that are the key to picking up Members and state legislators in suburban districts in every red state, but particularly in TX. If the Dem Dream of a purple TX is going to come to fruition it will be because of a coalition of Latino, urban, and educated suburban districts counter-balancing the brute acreage of conservaderp. Maybe by the 2030 Census?

Black turnout has cratered post-Obama and he's not liberal enough for the youngsters. I expect Handel to win by 3
