a very special election
Lamb shocks Saccone to win a district for the Democrats that Trump carried by 20 points.
… a resounding victory of about 300 votes…
… the libertarian party candidate won more than those votes, for what it’s worth…
… and both parties pour money money money into a race for a congressional seat that is about to be redrawn out of existence.
… This race result itself is null. The election results in just about nothing.
… good for Lamb, I suppose, in that he can now find a safer seat, and won’t have to be dragged down in this one…
… Lamb, who ran promising not to vote for Pelosi for speaker (I suppose there’s to be a Harold Ford / Heath Schuler out there he’ll be voting for?) and who ran by firing off an AR-15 to assert that, no, students walking out or not, he’s not going to take your gun away…
But that’s okay, because the Democratic Party doesn’t need to focus as of yet…
… Reminds me, though. You hear about the New Zealand diplomat flummoxed by the yell out for a “Bernie Sanders / Elizabeth Warren” ticket?
Surely that would win somewhere. Just not in this Pennsylvania district. (Oh. Wait. Sanders won over Northern Vermont, or something… never firing an AR-15 but sticking around long enough on that account anyways. Warren is going to talk incessantly about her Oklahoma roots.)
And if New Zealand’s deputy high commissioner to the United States has any better ideas for options, she didn’t seem to suggest whom…
Hillary Clinton has let it be known that it’s not her…Â but we already knew that.
