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

[ProgressiveModerate]

Dem recruiting for both GA seats has been quite disappointing

Agreed. I think it's very telling that no remotely decent candidates decided to run for this seat. Ditto with Iowa and Texas.

I mean... who did GA have besides Abrams, McBath, and maybe Carter?

those 3 would be better than ossoff/tomlinson/warnock

You guys have to give he canidates in these senate races a chance to prove themselves. Beto started out as a nobody early on in the cycle but ended up being very successful. Maybe Ossoff run a terrible campaign and doesn't stir up any media attention, but maybe he runs an amazing campaign and we'll look back on this forum and laugh. Abrams wasn'ta ll that great, considering the margin would be about what you would expect in 2018, and even though she did better in ATL, she didn't improve by much, and even did worse in some rural areas than Clinton.

Imagine if Georgia adopted instant runoff voting and we could know the results of both seats on Election Night. What a waste of time and money to string everyone along for 2 extra months.

It would suck if we don't know control of the senate until January because of these 2 seats. At least in that case they would get a lot of media which would increase turnout, since Democrats tend to do very poorly in off elections in GA.
