Uh oh, Perdue’s Moderate™ Suburban base won’t be pleased....

Safe R->Lean D

[Adam Griffin]

They should have just went all-out on Schumer and then tried to claim it was a face mask.

Also, does anybody else find it amusing that even the GOP now loves "the Obama font" (Gotham Black family) these days?

[SnowLabrador]

Hopefully this ad hurts Perdue, but since GOP voters love racism these days, it might help him.

[DINGO Joe]

Perdue tells a lie and Ossoff's nose grows?  That's not how the story goes.

[Bismarck]

I know others disagree but I doubt it was intentional. It’s just too transparent. Also the people acting like including Schumer makes it more anti semetic are dumb. Using the leaders of the opposite party is pretty much universal. Just because the Democratic Party has lots of Jewish senators doesn’t mean they are off limits from association with Schumer. Now, if it was intentional, and it may have been, it’s of course anti Semitic and unacceptable.

Well it’s (((Ossoff))) so...

It really doesn't matter. Putting out an ad with two Jewish men, one with their nose enlarged claiming they're trying to "buy" Georgia is not a good look.

What's next for Moderate Titan Perdue?
Putting Ossoff in an ad with Leo Frank?

I'm moving this one all the way to Likely D.

Purdue isn't surviving this.

Most people won’t care about this by November tbh. Also Georgia is a 50-50 swing state, so more like Tilt D.

I'm Jewish and I care (of course, I live in New York, not Georgia...)

Telling ppl to pray for Obama's death? Oh wait, nvm lol he already did that.

[DrScholl]

It wasn't unintentional


You can see that the lower half of his nose was moved forward. And considering that the image was extracted to get rid of the original background his nose wouldn't have come out bigger, it would have come out very slightly smaller due to the fact that extracting an image like that cuts off small portions.

[The Arizonan]

My paternal grandfather is half-Jewish and I still care about a political story like this happening on the other side of the country.

I seriously hope that David Perdue loses just for this crap. What is he doing with a first name like David?

[Rookie Yinzer]

Leo Frank, a Jewish man, was lynched in Marietta, Georgia in 1915 for a crime he didn't commit. This ad made me think about that yesterday and made me even angrier. Perdue is scum.

[Sir Mohamed]

And of course, like the leader of his party, Perdue just says it was some random dude creating the picture. These dudes never take responsibility for anything.

[The Arizonan]

The story also made me think about how in the 1976 Senate election in Arizona, Congressman Sam Steiger was referred to as a “Jew from New York” by his primary opponent in the Republican primary. The primary turned into a nasty one. In November, Sam Steiger lost the Senate election to a Democrat, giving the Democrats another Senate seat.

This is how Republicans blow winnable Senate races.

The SOS site is listing filings from the last day available to minor party candidates. Two independents have failed to qualify so this is a Republican-Democratic-Libertarian race.

That makes me a little more confident in Ossoff's relatively narrow path to victory.

Write-in candidates can still qualify up to September 7 but I'm not aware of any write-in efforts for this seat.

The flip side is that all of the candidates running in the other GA-SEN race have qualified. All 20 of them plus one write-in (so far).

Wow - Ossoff raised nearly $5M in August alone
