GA-SEN 2020 Class II Megathread (Perdue inc.)

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Regardless of how this thing turns out, Osoff has turned out to be a surprisingly strong recruit.  I mean, the #WeakCandidateOsoff stuff was always silly, but it sure looks like he's basically doing everything right and then some. 

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

If Ossoff wins this I think he has a big future in the Democratic party.  Young, charisma, proved he can win in a GOP state, ect.

He has a big future no matter what.  He's our best candidate in Georgia and that will still be true down the line even if he loses this year.

That's a reach.

Stacey Abrams still exists.

Osoff is a far better candidate than Abrams at this point.

No. Abrams boosted turnout within Democratic-leaning constituencies which is one of the ways candidate quality still matters in GA.

Abrams probably boosted African-American turnout at the margins...and then she went off the deep end with her Trumpian refusal to accept the election results after she lost and has been grifting ever since (well...that and publicly embarrassing herself by spamming news shows in sad attempt to convince people she wouldn’t be a Sarah Palin-level disaster if Biden picked her as VP).  At this point, she’s not just damaged goods, she’s a B- candidate at best.

Regular people don’t care about any of that. Abrams has more gravitas and would generate more energy than Ossoff.

1) Let’s be honest, Abrams has no gravitas whatsoever and was considered a lightweight gadfly in the VPstakes for good reason.  Fairly or unfairly, she comes off as some random whactivist with an overinflated opinion of themselves.  Fairly or unfairly, Osoff comes across as a smart, inspiring, thoughtful guy.

2) Normal people don’t like stuff like Abrams sore-loser whining about how unfair it was that Kemp got to be Governor just b/c he got the most votes.  Refusing to accept the results of an election you lost is a bad look whether you’re Donald Trump or Stacy Abrams.
