Lefsetz is a bit too cynical for me….but he has some valid points.

"and the dirty little secret is almost all of the people paying exorbitant prices for secondary market tickets were thrilled to be at the venue. THEY ENJOYED THE SHOW!"

The rich do enjoy the perks of being wealthy...good for them.

Susan Crawford's near-final margin: 55.1% to 44.9%.

Not just that: She flipped at least nine counties that voted for Trump in November

when one wins a special election by 8 points when the person you are replacing by won by 30 points 5 months prior is not really "easily winning" as usual NYT headline writers have their heads up their petards.  the other FL special election had a swing of 37 points prior to 15 points that's Matt G.'s district

the trump aligned mayor of Aurora Illinois, second largest city there, lost re-election as well

they still lost...pretty bad
not sure it's anything to get excited about losing by 8 and 15 points

It's a special election, turnout is always wonky

but one can get excited about the Mayor and the WI Judge
