GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

[Holmes]

Kind of surprised to see Christian going off like this.

[Holmes]

Well, Walker was a dud. Time for Republicans to rally behind the puppy killer.

[Holmes]

So does anybody know the rules on replacing a senate candidate in Georgia?

I suspect it’s too late already.

Indeed:

Erick son of Erick hinting that Republicans may kill Walker.

[Holmes]

It's probably over for Walker.

How is it over for walker? I really don’t see republicans voting for Warnock
Just because walker paid for an abortion 13 years ago. Most will still bite their tongue and vote more so against Warnock than for walker. This is more a personal issue that a Georgia issue and I really don’t see it making that much of an impact. Dems we’re never going to vote for him.

Warnock doesn’t need Republicans to vote for him to win. He didn’t need it in 20/21.

Christian Walker accuses his dad of physical abuse and his dad's response is that he needs a spanking? What the hell is wrong with him?

Right wingers and religious people love corporal punishment. They eat that sh**t up like candy.

High $2, low $3 range for gas, these are the prices people have been frothing at the mouth all year about? You wouldn't survive California.

High $2, low $3 range for gas, these are the prices people have been frothing at the mouth all year about? You wouldn't survive California.

No, we're happy about that range.  At the height of the spike it was up to the middle $4's.  Yes, this is much lower than most places in the U.S.  Atlanta typically has among the lower prices in the country, and it's pushed down even further at present because the state gas tax has been suspended.

But speaking of California...I work with some people who are spread out all over the world.  We had a meeting a few weeks ago and were chatting about gas prices, and a guy from Houston and I were talking about how they'd gone under $3 in our locations.  A colleague in California said he'd kill for those prices, since he was lucky to see under $6.  Then another colleague in England said "hold my beer" (it was the equivalent of about $8/gallon there).

Oh yeah, we complain about our gas prices but they’re much lower than elsewhere in the world. My parents in Canada are paying about $7 or so per gallon (although it’s in liters there so the conversion makes things a little different).

[Holmes]

Is there a point where we put this in the Roy Moore tier of campaign implosions?

I mean, Walker never sexually assaulted minors (I hope), so no.

[Holmes]

Really hate when idiot candidates go into a debate, (for the most part) talk in complete sentences, and everyone screams "debate bounce!"

Welcome to politics, I guess. See also: the current and prior President of the United States.

Thank you.

[Holmes]

The way they think sitting him on camera with Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham of all people is a winning move. And he’s talking about erections? Please bffr.

Why is he celebrating high turnout when his office wanted to block early voting over the weekend? Fraud.

This man says one thing but does another. Fraud.

This seat would mean Dems could be more confident in retaining control through the 2024 election, because a single vacancy in a state with an R governor controls appointments would no longer flip the chamber.

It could also have a significant impact on 2024.  In the event that election was an R blowout, they would need to win 11 seats for a supermajority. There are currently exactly 10 senate seats up in states where Trump won or came within 5% in 2016.  A Warnock win would mean R's would have to win VA or NM for a supermajority (along with MN and ME, which haven't really been close in any election since 2016).

Damn. Who is even thinking of a Republican supermajority?? At this point the discussion is where can they win to get a majority.

[Holmes]

MTG's district, lol:

I don't believe in God, but if he does exist, he must hate Michigan.

[Holmes]

Seriously though, can someone remind me: what was the EV total heading into runoff day of 2020?

You mean for the 2021 runoff? This is what the SoS website says:

1316760 Election Day Votes
1084021 Absentee by Mail Votes
2074139 Advanced Voting Votes
10034 Provisional Votes

What’s the point of having the needle if we’re almost 20% and it’s still not active

[Holmes]

We need an update of that pic with all the failed candidates in the sky with the text “come join us Walker”

[Holmes]

Who tf cares about what the needle says anymore? This is so stupid.
