Moreover, the race garnered the attention of the entire nation, including the likes of President Donald Trump.
The White House was quick to paint Handel's victory as a personal triumph for Trump. If anti-Trump sentiment is going to work in Democrats' favor, they should have seen a better result in Georgia.
However, the truth is a little more complicated than that.
But after what happened last week in special congressional elections in Georgia and SC, I'm beginning to think the Democrats are never going to get exhausted of losing.
After democrats lost another special election Wednesday, this time in Georgia, some Democrats turn their anger on the party leadership.
So when Pelosi was confronted Thursday over whether or not her leadership has contributed to the losses, Pelosi unequivocally defeated herself, claiming she's become a "target" for being a "master legislator".

When asked about the President's comments, Pelosi said "I think they wrote that for him, it's a classic Republican line".
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is telling Democrats that next year could be the year they take back control of the House.
But members of the rank-and-file are dissatisfied with that rationalization - and some are arguing for a new message and approach ahead of the midterms. Congressman Bill Pascrell of New Jersey downplays the attacks.
"I think that our leadership owes us an explanation of what happened, how resources were spent but also a plan going forward, and that's got to be a part of the discussion", he said.
