The DNC just spent $25 million on a muppet, who, as far as I can tell, can't find his own dick with both hands.
They should have sent the money to the poor, or to Planned Parenthood, or...
To me!
I guarantee I would have put that $25,000,000 to better use.
Just saying.
Other than that, it seems like a useless exercise to keep talking about it.

For you maybe but in my neck of the woods, many see this as the 1st act of a political career that others have plans and intended purposes for. I would think there were some who 15 years ago might have said the same thing about a "no name" political figure in Chicago and he sprung upon the scene from being a lowly community organizer and in less than a decade he held the top political office in the country. History tells me such stories rarely happen as a result of pure chance.
Be interesting to watch the next 4 to 6 years and see is anything comes of all of this. Even more so since it is in my own backyard at least for the next couple of years.
I don't disagree that the money would be better served elsewhere but power doesn't come cheap and besides, Ossoff ran as a corporatist aka republican lite so the betterment of the common good was never on the table to begin with.

Maybe.
The cadence might be there, but Ossoff certainly isn't Obama.
Obama wasn't Obama before he was Obama, but at least Obama had the skills from the beginning. If you get my drift.
Obama lost a few elections before he became Senator...and then he won the Presidency.
For this Ossoff guy, his first high-profile scene was also his first high-profile loss.
Obama's big prom night was as speaker at the Dem convention...a high profile gig for a rising Senator, and he gave an impassioned and inspired speech. (Obama was always a better campaigner than an actual leader)...
Ossoff? I don't see it.
However, I've been wrong about so many many things.

He's never high, this is his normal condition.
Is that a scary thought or what?
BTW: I never said he was Obama but rather he is channeling Obama for effect.

Thus why Ossoff bares watching as I suggested. He might run again for the 6th district in 2018' but he needs to actually move into the district first. Had he done so before this election, he might actually have won. Handel is not that good or strong of a candidate. Price took over 200k votes in his wins and I don't see Handel capable of doing that. Democrats are right to smell blood in the water. Handel won only because of the Pelosi factor and the Ossoff camp had no counter argument for that claim. Thus I suspect there was some truth to it which boosts my argument that Ossoff has more to come in his future. Candidates (on both sides) are bought and sold and not the Mr. Smith Goes To Washington fable.
There is also the Atlanta Mayor's job coming up or could Ossoff be a fit to replace John Lewis when he retires. He is approaching 80 years young so this bares watching too IMO.
