And in the midst of the George W. Bush administration, Democrats began rattling off an impressive string of special election victories that served as precursors to their 2006 and 2008 victories.
The most expensive House race in history ended badly for Democrats and their politically inexperienced candidate, who no longer lived in the district he wanted to represent. "A lot of problems we need to solve".
REPUBLICAN Karen Handel won a closely watched special congressional election Tuesday, salvaging a seat in the traditionally conservative Georgia where Democrats had hoped to strike a blow against Donald Trump's presidency.
On Tuesday, Republicans also held onto the House seat in SC that was vacated in by Mick Mulvaney so he could become the White House budget director.
The suburban district north of Atlanta is ruby red and has been in GOP hands since Newt Gingrich won it in 1979, but that does not make Jon Ossoff's defeat any less devastating for Democrats struggling to find their way in the Trump era. They were at risk of losing it to a 30-year-old who had no prior political experience.
After scoring their latest victories, Republicans were spiking the football.
Trump sent supporters a text message crowing, "Congrats to Karen Handel on a HUGE win in GA!" No, you lost. At some point the time for moral victories is over and sometimes winning is just about winning.
"Fawning press stories or bluster doesn't win a single vote". He added that 6th District Republicans united against a Democratic candidate many saw as a tool of his national party leaders. "But instinctually, this hurts, because it was about more than a single seat", Bonier said.

Representatives for the QIA declined to comment. "They have to lift the blockade to start negotiations", he told reporters. Qatar has also shipped in food from Turkey and Iran since Saudi and its allies on June 5 suspended ties with the emirate.
Yes, many Democrats are disappointed after Tuesday's tough loss in Georgia's 6 Congressional District, but they shouldn't be. National Republican groups poured resources into the race to offset Ossoff's impressive online fundraising.
Senate Republicans have already been facing mounting pressure - including from the President himself - to address serious concerns that have been raised about the House GOP bill.

In other words, it's much easier to build up that morale if you can say: Okay, we didn't win this race that we really wanted to.
It rarely is. Voters like to feel that they're voting for something or someone.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told MSNBC on Tuesday morning that Democrats should be "hyper-focused on an economic message that tells people that the Republican Party is all about economic growth for millionaires and billionaires and the Democratic Party is about economic growth for everybody".
The blog's founder, Markos Moulitsas, said in an email that the loss was "obviously disappointing". The race was held to replace former Congressman Tom Price, who's now the Health and Human Services Secretary.
"We've made it a point to fight Republicans every step of the way, make them earn every inch of territory they've gained". In other words, it is about whether it is the Republican or the Democratic narrative that sticks.
