My general rule on special election analysis. A win is a win, but peak under the hood. The stats below the top-line might reveal all sorts of useful info for the fall that suggests a special-elex loser *might* do some damage in the fall.

The "A win is a win" line with these sorts of districts is a bit like saying "Hey, I walked across the street without dying. Isn't that something?" Yeah, a loss would have been catastrophic, like if I died walking across the street, but it's not an achievement.

One thing I'm seeing pretty consistently: the polling this year is pretty good at capturing what's going on and there's a pretty typical pattern of a Democratic swing (around 10-12% on margin) that's fairly consistent.

No argument. I don't like to get ahead of myself, as they say. Politics is volatile and the news cycle lasts three seconds at a time.
