Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

Stacey Abrams (who is ridiculously far left--- and I'm sorry but she's a black woman)

lol

What's funny?

It's probably your comment if I had to guess.

Any thoughts on the GOP runoff?

Kemp will win.  Cagle winning less than 40% of the vote as a 12-year incumbent LG is pretty laughable.

Will it be a contest to see who can make the biggest a$$ out of themselves like the primary?

White voters  love Abrams. She is not ignoring them. She is simply acknowledging that the black base is the heart and soul of the party.

That we are still pretending that she is unpalatable to white voters after her decisive victory in North Georgia and the North Atlanta suburbs is hilarious.

When you talk about her decisive victory in North Georgia--take a look at Fannin County (Blue Ridge) which she won 286 to 180.  And then look at the Republican vote there--close to 2900 (and I am sure that hardly any of these people will not vote Republican in November).  Yes, there are progressive voters in this part of the state--but very few.  And that's about it for the Democratic white vote here--it's all moved to the Republicans.

Abrams will not win in November.  There's too much baggage, and her message will not resonate in most of the state.  However, she could be very influential to get out the base and strengthen the minority vote.  This can help people like Sarah Amico and John Barrow and other downstream candidates in their races.

Hopefully 25% of whites, 75% of non-black POC, and either 95% of black voters (as 30% of the electorate) or 90% of them (as 33-34% of the electorate) can get her to 50%.

Even if it does go to a run off, it will be nationalized due to Stacey Abrams's profile and unlike GA-06 it won't be confined to a district with an built-in Republican lean. And unlike in the past, hard Ds will have a candidate that is actually distinguishable from the Republican and they will be motivated to come out.

You're right. Instead it will be confined to a state with a Republican lean.

Not the same at all. The 6th district went from Price +30 to Handel +4. Georgia was only Trump +5 in 2016....

Like they said above.. That's not a good comparison at all

[Alabama_Indy10]

I still see this as Lean R.

[Alabama_Indy10]

Come on Kemp!

[Alabama_Indy10]

Way to go Kemp!

LMAO that "SHADY DAVID SHAFER" meme really worked:

CANDIDATE   VOTE   PCT.   
Geoff Duncan   278,750   50.1%   
David Shafer   277,110   49.9   

I HATE David Shafer! This warms my heart.

Has this race been moved from Likely to Lean Republican yet?

Why? I'm just curious.. Don't know much about either..
