Balderson Will Spend His Entire Term Campaigning

He's not going to actually do any work, and it's not like his seat made the difference in control of the House.

Unfortunately he'll have advantage of calling himself the Incumbent, and it's still a repub district, so he'll unfortunately be the favorite, despite the close victory tonight.

The Democrats will probably spend money on districts where their prospects are better, although now they have to consider throwing something O'Connor's way I imagine.

O Connor will also be campaigning. It is so close that all he has to do is fine tune his ground game a bit and he wins.

Considering also that in November there will be more voters which usually helps Democrats and that all sort of crap is going to be hitting Trump , I think O Connor has a shot at it.
