GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

[Suburbia]

Perdue and Loeffler should go back in the private sector....

Doug Collins, Karen Handel, the ultimate Karen, will most likely run for Warnock's seat.....

[Suburbia]

The GAGOP has a weak bench.

Walker should not run. He is not ready or qualified.

A lot of football players have CTE, OJ Simpson, all of them.

Austin Scott or someone like Nick Ayers should run, they have less baggage.

[Suburbia]

so is Gary Black going to the nominee at this point? woof.

This. Lean D for now.

The GAGOP has a horrible bench for some reason. John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, John Rocker can't make it a race?

[Suburbia]

Tilt D, Warnock should not get cocky

[Suburbia]

Raphael "Doug Jones" Warnock

You think Warnock can lose to someone like Walker; and if Warnock loses, does Abrams lose to Kemp or Jones again?

[Suburbia]

Tilt D

Warnock 51%, Walker 48%

[Suburbia]

Herschel is an idiot. He probably will get 5%-7% of the Black vote, and probably 10% of the Black vote. From some former athletes and Black ministers.

Black ministers will probably secretly support Herschel, they don't want to offend Rev. Warnock.

If Georgia Republicans were smart, they'd go with Tom Glavine, but he is not running.

Jack Kingston would have been their best bet.

[Suburbia]

Not every athlete is stupid.

Tom Glavine, Emmitt Smith, etc. can talk. Herschel can't. I wonder if he does not realize that these rich white Georgia Republicans are using him and laugh at him behind his back. If he wins, he gets used more because they will tell him how to vote on certain legislation and amendments.

Tommy Tuberville will probably teach him legislation.

The South loves athletes, especially football players. Nick Saban, if he wanted could retire from Alabama coaching and run for Senate in Alabama or West Virginia and be the last Blue Dog for a while...

[Suburbia]

Herschel seems like a nice man and a good athlete, but he ain't cut out for the job.

If Republicans were looking at the athlete route, they should have looked at Tom Glavine or some other Georgian great.

My final prediction: Warnock 51, Walker 49

Warnock retires from politics in '28. He gets voting rights legislation done in his career.

Why should Warnock retire in 2028 when he's not even 60 years old? Unless he gets promoted to president or vice president.

He doesn't want to do this forever.

Warnock retires from politics in '28. He gets voting rights legislation done in his career.

Probably more like 53-47 in favor of Raphael Warnock if I had to guess. This will be the last runoff he faces, as he will be a lifer in the Senate if he decided not to go for President or Governor. Jon Ossoff will likely be a lifer as well as long as Brian Kemp doesn’t run against him in 2026.

Probably. He probably does not want to be a lifer because he probably doesn't believe in politics and religion mixing....he did say "No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money".

I see him getting voting rights legislation done and he retires in 2028---I don't think he was meant to be there that long.

Ossoff could be a lifer if he wants.

If Georgia's two senators are Democratic for a long time, then Georgia is ripe for a Democratic governor in 2026.

Stacey Abrams let the fame get into her head.

I wonder if hypothetically, Warnock wins by a somewhat lopsided margin, if the GOP basically triages the state going forwards. The writing is sort of on the wall because Georgia is such a polarized southern state, it's basically impossible for the GOP to overcome unfavorable demographic change after a certain point without favorable rebranding.

In places like AZ, at least things are a lot less racially polarized and outreach to win back "McCain Republicans" or make inroads with more socially conservative Hispanics could keep the state in their hands if they can get their act together.

They might triage the state. I want to see MS turn blue sooner. I want to see Roger Wicker go down in 2024. Alabama did it with Jones, South Carolina almost did it with Harrison.

[Suburbia]

MS’s governing population is never going to let the state turn blue through gradual demographic change. It’s not going to happen.

Sad.

If Walker loses, it won't be the end of rightwing athletes.

Steve Largent and JC Watts did well in Oklahoma in the 90s...

Maybe Herschel goes back to TX......

He shouldn't have been the nominee.......

He should run there...

[Suburbia]

Good-bye Walker.

"This is effectively the end of Mitch McConnell's obstructive career." - Joy Reid

Hope she's right!

He should have lost to Bruce Lunsford in 2008 in the first place.

[Suburbia]

Warnock is a good speaker.

If he wants a third term in 2028, he probably gets one.

I see him retiring in 2028. Politics and religion don't mix, and he should author criminal justice legislation......

Police reform/voting rights

I see Republicans are handling this well...

Is he wrong? Tim Scott and Burgess Owens aren't liked by black people.....Republicans should aim for Asians and Latinos more.....a lot of Latino men, especially Latino cops, etc. are there for the GOP.....

Republicans should aim for 5%-20% of the black vote nationally. They can in the South. They need better messaging. They need to adopt the Platinum Plan that Trump and Ice Cube had and appeal to Black men.

Herschel was a horrible candidate. Horrible. Someone like a Jerry Rice or a Deion Sanders could have won.
