Great sentiment for party unity

This is much more critical IMO

than the "Russians hacked the election".

This is why he won't release his tax returns. He is compromised, and not just in an 'emoluments' kind of way. If someone at the IRS or his accounting firm or anyone with ready access to them will take the risk -- and I feel certain it's at pain of death -- of leaking his tax returns ... he's done.

I don't know

I doubt whether the residency thing was determinative in the GA-6 special (YMMV).

As Matthew Sheffield at Salon suggests, tying Ossoff to Nancy Pelosi my have been more damaging.

Also No More Mister thinks that the GOP strategy of running against DC in general, i.e. "Washington insider" was both stereotypical Republican hypocrisy and a winner for Handel.

And remember that they used Kathy Griffin and the decapitated Trump against Ossoff even as they were calling for "toning down the rhetoric" in the wake of the softball shooting incident.

These three tactics play straight to the GOP mindset of demonizing Democrats, which has a long and successful electoral track record for them. I don't really see how this can be countered in the short run, since it has been achieved in the long one by them.

Because the establishment does not think an actual progressive can win

Despite evidence to the contrary, especially in rural, hardscrabble districts:

At least nobody's blaming the Russians, amirite?

In the meantime, the progressive populist Democrat running in South Carolina's special election yesterday came closer to defeating his Republican challenger (in a rural, hardscrabble district; not an upscale suburban one) than Ossoff did Handel.

And did so without fifty million bucks spent in his race.
