GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

Strong “I’m not a witch” vibes from this one.

Can any poster in Georgia or who has kept a close eye on ads tell me how many of Walker's ads actually feature Walker himself (besides the direct to camera one he released yesterday)?

This feels a lot like a campaign in which the candidate themself is the campaign's worst asset, and in circumstances like that ads rarely feature the candidate.

I've seen a direct-to-camera one with an anti-crime theme a few times.

Yeah apparently this ad has been running a lot:  https://host2.adimpact.com/admo/viewer/96838a1a-a572-452f-ada3-e385de737f1e?cid=eml_firstread_20220928

Very strange!

It’s time we make it illegal to play football. This guy’s brain is soup.

Yeah, I'm not really sure that "beating expectations" matters in a debate that no one watches. Obviously it does in presidential debates, but like 50% of the electorate sits down and watches those. I doubt 50% of the Georgia electorate was even aware this was happening today. To the extent most voters consume this it will be the viral Twitter clips.

[Lief 🗽]

Does someone have a clip or a transcript of one of Walker's best moments? Apparently all the clips or transcripts we have seen are unrepresentative or out of context (because they were cherry picked by the liberal media), and all his other answers were the ones that were coherent.

Anyone ever notice this "low expectations" thing really only happens with Republican candidates? The media never gives this much benefit of the doubt to a Democrat. Do you think the media would fall over themselves praising Fetterman, for example, if he showed up to a debate and waived around his fake sheriff's badge?

Joe Biden

It doesn't count when the Enemy of the People have "low expectations" for both debaters!

Walker's closing message? Anti-trans athletes ads

Walker’s campaign staff need to log off and go touch grass.

[Lief 🗽]

They really don't think it's an embarrassing look for him to be chaperoned on every TV hit he now does?

Apparently you are not allowed to point out the racial realities of voting in the Deep South on this forum without being punished by the mod team, but suffice it to say that the kind of person who votes GOP in Georgia is probably perfectly happy with this dynamic.

Think of the numbers a Trump rally would have brought in! But this guy, Walker, was very ungrateful and asked him not to come. Sad!

[Lief 🗽]

Current estimates for votes cast today are around 1.1-1.3 million.

It’s OVER, congratulations Senator Warnock!

[Lief 🗽]

Not following this too closely because I’m at a holiday party but based on skimming Twitter it looks like Warnock is massively underperforming??

[Lief 🗽]

Any theory for why Walker improved so much in Northern Georgia specifically? It's really the only region that had a clear swing toward him from November (the rest of rural GA was a wash and obviously metro Atlanta and other major cities swung toward Warnock). Why could that be? I heard it was raining pretty bad there on Election Day, but if that depressed turnout it should have hit Republicans harder since proportionally more Democrats voted early.

Maybe a lot of people came out to vote against MTG in the general but didn’t care as much when she wasn’t on the ballot?
