So do special elections matter?

So do special elections matter?  

Here is a bit of info about special elections, according to Selena Zito:    

"House special elections don’t usually predict a party’s fate in the midterms. 

The Democrats lost all their special elections leading up to the 2006 midterms only to flip the House by 30 seats; four years later the Republicans lost all their special elections going into the 2010 midterms — and went on to trounce the Democrats by winning 63 seats back".

I didn't know that.  Nevertheless, the GOP has to treat this election as if they are 10 points behind.  

Voter turnout will determine November's results and the GOP voters must show up in full.  If the GOP turns out then I am confident about holding the US House and adding a few seats in the US Senate.
