Republicans wage 11th-hour blitz in Pa. special election

<snip> At a rally with Lamb at the United Steelworkers headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh on Friday, Democratic Rep. Mike Doyle, the dean of the state’s congressional delegation, marveled at how much Republicans had spent on the race.

“The president comes in for his second visit, the vice president has been here, Ivanka’s been here, Cabinet secretaries have been here, 10 kitchen sinks has been thrown here, $15 million has been spent here, and that Marine is still standing,” Doyle exclaimed.<snip>

Big glossy ads arrive every day accusing Lamb of everything from eating babies to consorting with livestock.

this is major for a "challenger" a day before an election and now a matter of getting the voters out in force. If this holds for a win for Lamb

massive fractures in the republican party as well as their donor base as outspending Lamb 20-1 gave them a huge loss. Keeping fingers crossed for an upset of all upsets
