"In the wake of a Democratic candidate’s narrow loss in the August 2 special election"

Interesting the Republican candidate won 52% to 48%. My experience in special elections tells me that this a large margin to win by, yet the press keeps referring to it as a close election. I guess they keep dreaming, however, we cannot become complacent.

IIRC, in the previous election it was a 70% to 30% margin.

It would be like me golfing against Tiger Woods on his home course and coming within 4 strokes. I could see how with a little improvement I could actually beat him, and Tiger better look at what went wrong.
