GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

Loeffler?

In the last two months she's:
- Lost a Senate race, handing control of the Senate to Democrats
- Given a speech in the Senate explaining why she planned to uphold the 2020 Presidential results, after hinting she would vote against them
- Indicated that she's desperate to return to office.

I really don't think she's going to be able to rally GOP primary voters next year. Compared to the other potential candidates, she almost looks moderate - I think they'll be far more interested in Collins, MTG etc, especially if they've been whipped up into a Tea Party-like fury.

Far be it for me, an individual represented on the world stage by Liz Truss less than a month ago, make too much hay of another country's politicians, but:

Walker accuses Warnock of sexual assault in what sounds like a clumsy way to hold him responsible as a leader at some place where it happened.

This is borderline-defamation, or at least "strongly-worded letter from lawyers demanding retraction" territory, surely?

Given the precedent this cycle, is there a chance this ruling contributes to Dem turnout?

Peak chaos outcome:

• Walker wins by the narrowest of margins
• He’s found guilty of breaking GA law, and is forced from office.
• A special election is called.
• Warnock wins

Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker described himself as living in Texas during 2022 campaign speech
“I live in Texas,” Walker said in late January of this year, when speaking to University of Georgia College Republicans. Walker was criticizing Democrats for not visiting the border when he made the comments. “I went down to the border off and on sometimes,” he said.

Earlier in the speech, Walker said he decided to run for Georgia’s Senate seat while at his Texas home after seeing the country divided.

“Everyone asks me, why did I decide to run for a Senate seat? Because to be honest with you, this is never something I ever, ever, ever thought in my life I’d ever do,” said Walker. “And that’s the honest truth. As I was sitting in my home in Texas, I was sitting in my home in Texas, and I was seeing what was going on in this country. I was seeing what was going on in this country with how they were trying to divide people.”

A CNN KFile review of some of Walker’s media appearances and events from 2021 and 2022 finds Walker appeared on Fox News and other conservative media from his Texas home at least four times after announcing his candidacy for Georgia’s Senate seat.

The interviews at his Texas home took place twice in September 2021 and in February and March of 2022. Before announcing, all of Walker’s media appearances on Fox News and on other conservative media, around 20 in total, took place in Texas.

Even if 50,000+ Votes are in DeKalb alone it doesn't get Warnock to a 2.9 Percentage Point Margin like the NEEDLE says. Do some Map!!!

Please. “Do some Map!!!”
Let this be the next “Bronz threaf.”

Given we’ve officially crossed the “Georgia votes for a Democratic Senator, in a Democratic presidential midterm” rubicon, I’d like to share a hot take from a decade ago:
