I regret to inform you all that Kelly Lofeller has, for a third time, compared herself favorably to Attila the Hun

Wait, hold up. This kinda feels... pro-civil war? Like they obviously still don't understand who Attila actually was but more importantly, the idea that the right should "attack the far left" like Attila would've seems just a little bit pro-inciting violence.

And her base will lap it up, as per usual.

Get ready to be on the wrong end of every "responsible gun owner" in America. The militias are coming.

Because if there's anything Attila the Hun is known for, it's respecting people's right to life.

She's very strange.

I mean, you have to get to the runoff before you can win it, but all this "most conservative Senator" nonsense seems like it would be laying poor groundwork for January.

This. She may be doing it to help her now but I can't imagine any of this is going to help in January.

[QAnonKelly]

I can’t imagine what her post senate career is gonna look like. I really doubt she’s gonna be welcomed with open arms back into the financial community in Atlanta.

It's her only play. She was on path to lose to Collins in round 1 without aggressively going to his right and getting the hardcore Trump vote.

Agreed that it is bad positioning for the runoff but she had no choice imo (other than to lose with dignity lol).

She's not really welcome anywhere in Atlanta atp

Runoffs in georgia are well known, and have been for a while, to be far whiter and far more Republican than the general elections. Unless black turnout can be motivated to turn out in the runoff, its basically a foregone conclusion

[Nutmeg]

Despicable ideology on Loeff's part, but it is good strategy with regard to actually winning, unfortunately.

John Barrow and Lindy Miller got 48 percent in a low turnout run off for down ballot offices. This isn't 2008. Jim Martin ran away from Obama and neglected the Black base. Warnock is backed by Abrams and will CERTAINLY outrun historical Dem margins in Cobb, Gwinnett, Forsyth, Cherokee, Henry, Fayette, etc

Lol it'd be funny if she moved to some rando podunk town and then found out she can't get good food.

[Oryxslayer]

Anyway, the polls today consistently had Warnock in the lead. Guess that's what happens when you finally campaign and rack up the parties endorsements. Also explains why Loeffer and Collins have been at each others throats, rather than messing with the previous third-place candidate.

What are the odds that Dems pick up both seats?

What are the odds that Dems pick up both seats?

I’d say that the odds are less than 30%.

[VAR]

Former Gov. Nathan Deal endorses Collins.

“I know that the governor [Kemp] had to make a tough choice, but I’ve made my choice, too, and that’s Doug Collins," Deal said. “A Senate seat representing the state of Georgia cannot be bought.”

The million dollar question is, will they come back for the run off

What's getting frustrating now is that if Lieberman and Tarver actually dropped out, Warnock may actually have a chance at hitting nearly 50%.

Money, attention, and enthusiasm will not be an issue for Democrats. If Biden wins and has a trifecta, there will still be the stench of Trump around the Republican and a Democratic trifecta will not have even had a chance to govern by January5. Trump will literally still be the president and God knows what kind of chaos and confusion he’ll be up to. Warnock is going to be extremely formidable and I can’t wait until we have our run off match up settled so we can start putting in work.

[Landslide Lyndon]

If the prospect of the first black senator from Georgia won't motivate black voters in the runoff then nothing will.
As for educated suburbanites, they always vote. And considering the fact that Trump won't just go gently into that good night after his defeat, I bet they won't resist the temptation to give him and his enablers a last kick in the nuts.

Descriptive representation is overrated as an electorate force.

I'm not sure it's a given Trump would support Republicans in a runoff if he'd already lost assuming the incumbent Senators hadn't pulled out all the stops to ensure he remained president anyway.
