Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I'm starting to get the feeling that 10 years down the line the GAGOP is going to look back at this moment as their Prop 187 moment.

I can see the reasoning for this argument, but for it to be valid, the GOP would have to have black votes they would lose because of it.

There are probably many non-white voters they would otherwise have picked up in the next couple of elections that now won't flip because of stuff like this.  That could be decisive. 

On the other hand, it looks like the most severe and controversial provisions were removed from the final bill?

I doubt there are huge stores of non-white voters whose tipping point was this bill. Something like this won't actually move a lot of voters, not even black voters.

Good announcement ad.

John Barrow should primary Warnock. If he managed to win, the general is safe D.

He'd be lucky to get 20% in that primary.

Barrow would have more luck running for SoS. He ran for that office in 2018.

"National environment" matters jack in Georgia. The Empire State of the South may as well be a political island.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Lean D. Path to victory exists for Kemp but it's a hard one.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Yeah, Georgia is pretty much where Virginia was a decade ago. It's only a matter of time before the Democrats take over the state.

Georgia is at least as much of a reverse Mississippi as it is a Virginia. Being in the Deep South tends to come with extreme inelasticity.

Cook just moved the gubernatorial race to Tossup from Lean R.

They also moved MA from Solid R to Lean D, which is laughable.

You mean, from Lean R to Tossup, surely?

Yes, that's what I said.

Ah, just wanted to be sure. And for sake of clarity for thread readers.
Thanks for the notice.

Endorsed

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Yep, endorsed.

As others said, take notes at how competently her campaign is run, Democrats. Though, I would posit that the Illinois Democrats may be a slightly more effective party, albeit more in an old school sense.

I absolutely agree Abrams is a great campaigner. She knows how to run a campaign.
I agree also with the rest of your comments as well.
Looking forward to Abrams' general election campaign. She's very probably going to win the primary.

In a Kemp vs Perdue race, I would expect Kemp to have an edge due to incumbency and establishment support. But a Perdue victory is always still a potential outcome.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Didn't Trump endorse Perdue? The fact he's been failing this badly is interesting.

Yes, and Trump is campaigning for Perdue -- or perhaps more precisely, against Kemp (who Trump hates with a passion and wants to see lose more than any other Republican incumbent with the possible exception of Liz Cheney).

Comes to show that even Trump can't even put lipstick on the pig.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I'm shocked, shocked, that Perdue lost.

He conceded?

Democrats know Kemp is one of their own. That's why Democratic county clerks in DeKalb and Fulton and other Democrat counties rigged it for Kemp.
