Democrats came up short in a special election for Ohio's 12th Congressional District last night -- an election that came down to every last vote. So did they take responsibility for their shortcoming?

Nope.

With the race coming down to less than 2,000 votes, Democrats have yet to concede — and party members are blaming liberals who voted for the Green Party.

As of late Tuesday night, Republican Troy Balderson was leading Democrat Danny O'Connor by under 1,800 votes. However, Green Party candidate Joe Manchik received only 1,127 votes.

Do the math, and it’s clear that Democrats would have lost even if they received every last Green Party vote.

Yet still, many Democrats put the blame on Green Party voters -- including left-wing comedienne Kathy Griffin, who tweeted:

Plenty of other disappointed liberals seemed to agree with her.
