She very possibly has the worst political skills of anyone currently holding a major public office.

This is what happens when an inept gov picks someone with zero politicial skills and competence only based on what qualification exactly?

I doubt this seat flips, especially with the Dem jungle primary vote equally split between 2 candidates, there may be a Collins vs. Loeffler runoff. Anyway, I would rate this one as Lean Collins.

The jungle primary vote won't be equally split; the polls are garbage because nobody outside of high-info black ATL Ds, state politicos and his churchgoers have known who Warnock is until recently. Lieberman is going to get like 3% max - though the other 7-8 Democrats on the ballot combined will siphon enough (probably another 1-2% total) in conjunction with him to deprive Warnock of a majority even if Democrats manage a combined majority, triggering a runoff and a likely Collins performance that improves the total R vote-share enough in January to clear a majority (50.5-53%) without much concern.

Lets Go Warnock!

Hopefully Taver doesn't have a big ego and drops out.

Hopefully Taver doesn't have a big ego and drops out.

And Lieberman. If he remains in past August, he is ego-driven and self-serving.

And Lieberman. If he remains in past August, he is ego-driven and self-serving.

If he's polling ahead of Warnock while remaining in, I think there's a fairly strong case for arguing he has a stronger campaign.

It all depends should he be leading in the polls, I don't want Warnock, should he be third/fourth, he should drop out.

Warnock has more money and will be a more formidable candidate one-on-one with Collins. Polls when nobody has been campaigning other than Kelly Loeffler's tragic ads means very little to me.

That's why it irks the hell out of me when "pols" on Twitter like Niles say people like Warnock were bad picks because their fundraising has been lower and they're less visible. Fam, there's been a pandemic the last 3 months, and that's right after he announced. How the hell was he was supposed to be visible?

This and honestly he needs to be stockpiling cash for the general. He would have just confused voters in the Perdue primary. Ossoff is subtly with Warnock (not an outright endorsement, but retweeted a tweet about them both winning in Nov). Lieberman is a nobody in GA and white. He's not going to the second round against Collins. Period.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

I don't doubt that Lieberman's lead over Warnock could easily collapse - all I'm saying is that if it doesn't as the weeks draw on, his case for staying in the race remains strong.

[EastAnglianLefty]

Also, Tarver could be persuaded to drop out in return for a future statewide run, whereas that's much less likely to be offered to Lieberman, so he's got less reason to back down.

[Pollster]

Warnock is fundraising aggressively and his campaign just launched a hiring blitz. He’ll be the clear polling leader very soon.

For how he's been criticized, this is actually a great haul.

Bunch of WNBA players and their union want Loeffler out as co-owner of the Dream

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) doubled down on her stance against Black Lives Matter on Wednesday night, saying that the movement — which was re-galvanized nationwide following the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd at the end of May — is antithetical to American principles.

"[Black Lives Matter] is a very divisive organization based on marxist principles," Loeffler, who faces a tough special election battle in November, told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "This is an organization that seeks to destroy the American principles and I had to draw the line."

Loeffler also called BLM "anti-Semitic" and claimed that the group is against the "nuclear family."

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Loeffler is going to keep going hard to the right on culture wars to get the support of the GOP base in Georgia. I do not think this will work as long as Doug Collins keeps up. I would imagine Doug Collins has more credibility with the base. I wish I was represented by better people.


As for her criticisms, BLM actually does have a section in their "about" page that is against the nuclear family. They should remove that because it has nothing to do with police brutality.

"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable."

How is it anti-Semitic though? And while some of the founders might have some marxist ideology, I don't see it anywhere on their website.

She's throwing that in to keep whatever is left of the Dunwoody/sandy springs GOP type in her corner.

She might go down as the single worst candidate in recent history. Kemp is such an idiot for appointing her.
