[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists on Monday’s Good Morning America excitedly predicted that a special election in April of 2017, 18 months before the midterm elections, could mean a “real chance Democrats take back Congress in 2018.”  Discussing Democrat John Osoff’s chances in Tuesday’s Georgia House race, Matt Dowd enthused: “Can he win it without a runoff? If a Democrat wins that district in Georgia, there's real chance Democrats could take back Congress in 2018.” Journalist Jon Karl agreed, hyping, “This Georgia race is critical. We're a long way from the midterm elections. If the Democrats can win that, that is the kind of race they need to win to retake Congress.”
