f***ing democratic primary voters

Elaborate, please

McGrah is an incredibly strong candidate. Can’t compare Eastman to her!

she isn't Eastman, but gray is stronger, and this is a seat I have a personal connection to, id like to see them elect a dem.

Eastman isn't even bad anyway. She is a standard Democrat in a purple district who is a very strong campaigner as shown by the fact she pulled that primary win off with a massive name recognition deficit at the start of the primary campaign.

Now that Brad Ashford and Jim Gray have been knocked out, who's next? Joseph Kopser? John Barrow?

[IceSpear]

McGrath will probably win narrowly, but LOL at Wulfric calling it when Gray's home base isn't even in. Some people never learn from their mistakes (see sig.)

Um, Barrow was defeated in 2014.  He's running for Georgia Secretary of State this year.

[Politician]

Wulfric NEVER learns. He claims TX-SEN is Safe R.

[Sestak]

Wulfric 47.2, Gray 41.6.

I’m with Sykes in KY-05. It’s not at all what we hoped.

lol.

Democrats will never not be scared of their own shadows.

[Politician]

If Gray wins, he can thank Lexington for it.

[bilaps]

McGrath now leads according to DDHQ too

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Based on the results we are seeing, McGrath actually appears to be the stronger choice for the general.

[Florida Man for Crime]

McGrath just pulled ahead in the VOX results

 Amy McGrath (Democratic)     44.4%   27,649
Jim Gray (Democratic)     43.7%   27,213

That could easily be name recognition. Gray is a mayor of the city that represents 40% of the district's population. McGrath is a first time candidate.

Gray very likely has higher name recognition among the general electorate. There is more room for McGrath to go up in that respect than Gray.

[bilaps]

laughing at atlas discounting more liberal candidates in a midterm year with unpopular president and greatly unpopular sitting house members. because nominating moderate in 2016 was so great for democrats and outsider like trump didn't win.

and I think gray having a proven record of winning is important. mcgrath is a wild card

[Politician]

OK, on Vox Georgia's coming in.

According to the National Journal article on them today, her name recognition was lower than Gray's in that internal. And down 4 6 months ahead of the election is nothing.
