Ben Shapiro@benshapiro

In the seven special elections held in 2017, the average shift from 2016 results was D+16. Tonight, it's D+20. 2018 will be very, very ugly unless something cataclysmic happens for GOP.

Worth noting: all the normal factors should be cutting in GOP favor, outside of being the party in power. The economy is good, and we have no serious foreign crises. Which says that the popularity of the president is a serious factor in Democratic turnout.

All the talk about Lamb running as a Republican is beside the point. He's a Democrat tailored for the district. If Democrats are smart enough to run non-Pelosi types in red districts, that will exacerbate the GOP wipeout.

And as @ezraklein notes, there are 118 Republican-held seats that went for Trump by fewer points than PA-18. The vast majority will go Republican, of course. But Dems only need 24.

Those voters made the wisest selection of candidate in that race. Good for them.

They've openly courted veteran pro-life Dems in my area and surrounding states.  If they can actually find any, I don't think people will be fooled.

What Ben is missing is that in all these special elections the state GOP pushed garbage next in line losers as candidates. The state GOPs need to think outside of the box and stop with these lazy morons running on legacy or name recognition or just because they lost the last election and are owed.

Maybe we didn't have the greatest candidate but anyone who thinks losing this election to a democrat is a good thing is a fool.

The redistricting fight will make it more problematic no matter who they run, correct?

Really? I live here in PA. What you think is a Republican isn't what one is here. They are all middle of the road, all talk and no action garbage. Ever hear of Charlie Dent? He is the so called GOP'er in my district who is pro abortion, anti gun and spends all his down time at No Labels meetings and on MSNBC bashing the President of his own party. They gerrymandered him the most ridiculously Conservative seat because the state party thinks he is Right Wing. The GOP controls the House and Senate and can't do anything but spend us into the 2nd most indebted state next to CT. We are drowning in debt and stupidity.

Not only did I want the GOP to lose this seat, I wanted them to lose it by a landslide. It is time that the garbage in Harrisburg wake the hell up and start taking the fielding of candidates seriously. From everything that Connor Lamb has said, he is to the right of Suckone. I'm done with the bullshit.

That whole mess is the doing of the GOP in the state. They made some of the most insane districts for their pals to stay safe. My state senate district takes an hour to drive from one end to the other. They had to put a branch office in my area because the stupid azzhole lives so far away. The SC has no business making up their own map, but they had a good reason to make the GOP redo it.

Just look at this insanity they crafted for Eastern PA. It's disgusting......

11:45 pm, central time, Democrat Conor Lamb declares victory in Penn. 18th Congressional District.

CNN has Lamb 49.8, Saccone 49.6. CNN has "race too close to call".

I'll stay up a while longer to see if numbers change.

Well, you can't say Saccone was hamstrung by the establishment not wanting to have an outsider in DC.  He was the establishment choice.

Roy Moore is the one who got ripped.  And deservedly so.  He was a bad candidate who didn't think he needed to campaign to win.  Just like this guy.

Ok, guys, local news is reporting that Connor Lamb has declared victory, but the race is still too close to call.  Saccone has not conceded.  The outlying counties are still counting and an election official in Washington County said it might take weeks before results can be certified.

At some point the "we just ran a crap candidate" excuse won't explain the loss of control of the House and Possibly the Senate.

People will have to face the hard reality of why all those seats were lost.
