4. Great! More good news from Tuesday's sweep is that

what it suggests about increased chances of winning is expected to result in a bunch of well qualified candidates stepping up, and more people opening their wallets.

Reminds me of the Georgia 6th district congressional race to replace Tom Price. In spite of low chances of actually winning a special election in this long-Republican district, Jon Ossoff actually had the endorsements of some party leaders and Daily Kos, raising some real money for him. But he was very young, much younger than the average voter, had no serious experience to offer, and he didn't even live in the district! On top of that, he didn't even look like he did. And he did fabulously well considering.

I'm hoping this exposure and performance mean Ossoff'll now be one of our new crop of strong candidates in 2018 or 2020, but just imagine if a powerhouse contender had been available when Tom Price's seat came up for grabs? This is one of the biggest things Tuesday may have accomplished for us.
