Gosh it would be hilarious to see another Democrat declare premature victory and fail. Keep me posted.

What was spending like here, do we know?
The Handel-Ossoff special election last Spring in the GA 6th CD was nuts. Handel won, but it was close because of massive Dem spending. This shouldn’t have been close, but massive Dem spending (?) plus a dud Republican candidate vs. a good Dem one may have lost us a seat.
The Dems really need a win and know it.

I concur with your assessment on Ronna. And I would rehire Reince too if he would take the job.
To: fortheDeclaration
He can move, or he can even run from outside the district.

“but massive Dem spending (?)”
I don’t know how much was spent but we know for a fact that the dems have gone “all-in” on the vote-fraud.

It is likely the seat won’t even exist next election.

Doesn’t he have to live in the District to be able to run?

All these loses in a areas Trump win big show for some reason Americsns opposes Trumps agenda. Dunno if that's an obvious conclusion. IMO 2016 was NO HILLARY and this is not.

No. For federal office, you only have to be a resident of the state you’re running in. Technically, you could live in Erie and run for a seat in Philadelphia (or vice versa), but you’re not likely to win.

Negative. It is not a requirement to live in a CD, to run for that CD. It’s normally done that way, but is not a requirement.
It’s one of the reasons Jon Ossoff lost against Karen Handel in last Spring’s GA-6th CD special election.

Read here on FR that he only did 2 yrs of his enlistment and was allowed to transfer to the Reserves.
Haven't been able to verify though.

I read somewhere, might have been on LS’ Twitter feed, that this is a district with a 50,000+ Dem voter advantage? Can anyone confirm that? So if you’ve got a Dem who sounds like a moderate, and is a good campaigner, vs. a lackluster GOPe candidate, the outcome could definitely be close in an off year special election.
I also suspect the news of the Tillerson firing got out at just the wrong time, and the release of that news was not handled well. Maybe that could swing 1% of the vote?
That said, Lamb closed a lot of ground in a couple months, and there is little to suggest that the public’s view of Trump has changed markedly for the worse in that period. If anything, it is better. So, more likely some other factor recently came into play — we need someone “on scene” to best explain, I think. Did the Dems spend 4x or 10x as much as the Pubs?

Not good at all. All these loses in a areas Trump win big show for some reason Americsns opposes Trumps agenda. Why else would they be voting for the party of Satan? Shallow thinking and the influence of unions.
