Georgia special election will go to runoff

[Dulcinea]

Democrat Jon Ossoff is headed for a runoff in June against a Republican contender after failing Tuesday to score an upset victory to represent a suburban Atlanta district in Congress.

CNN called the race just after midnight.

The 30-year-old investigative filmmaker aimed for an outright win in the 6th District race, but a furious Republican counterattack joined by President Donald Trump appears to have kept him under 50 percent.

1. Two more months of national exposure could make him a rockstar.

He'll be on countless interviews. I imagine excerpts of any upcoming debates will be included in the news cycle.

3. Doubtful

I certainly wish him all the best and hope that he wins the runoff, but I very much doubt there will be much national interest in this over the next two months.

2. Yes, and 2 months of erratic Donnie.

4. Furious Lying GOP counterattack

The president lied straight-up about his healthcare goals in his tweets

The mailers about osama where the ultimate in dirty tricks.

GOP will stop at nothing in politics today.
