Grade Jon Ossoff’s campaign

[VAR]

I think it deserves an A.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

A, he did ask for donations and a Covid Environment, you can't rely as D's on Act blue anymore until Covid is gone. That's the fact. Consumers rather eat at restaurants than Pantries during Xmas

McConnell silly adjournment of the Senate after ACB is gonna give us the Senate majority

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

A, just like in 2017

[Morning in Atlas]

A. At the very least, he will continue to blaze the trail.

[Nutmeg]

Lol at the troll who said "F". It's demonstrably a strong campaign for a candidate whose appeal I personally do not understand at all. That he largely cleared the field, won a statewide primary, and is running neck-and-neck with the incumbent is rather remarkable considering his lack of stature otherwise. He's an excellent campaigner despite having no actual accomplishments.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Jon Asshat gets a C

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

I didn't think he was an especially good candidate and initially had him at a D+, although there are very few persuadable voters here and so much was always going to come down to turnout which was driven by other races. However, his operation seems to have been smart and he's made as much of his background as he reasonably could have (e.g. playing the Ben Shapiro's Wife Is a Doctor card to add a personal touch to his COVID-19 response), his fundraising has picked up, he seems to be better at handling the media now and he's cooperated well with other candidates across the ballot and in other states.

It's a solid B and, from a non-partisan perspective, a somewhat inspiring story of political self-improvement. He's made much out of a resume constrained primarily by its political brevity.

C if he loses, A if he wins

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Rs don't have this race in the bag

Neither do they have AK, SC, TX, IA, MT or KS all within the margin of error

Sullivan plus 3
Ernst plus 2
Bollier plus 1
Bullock plus 1
Graham plus 2
Cornyn plus 5

C if he loses, A if he wins

"Good campaigns are when you win and bad/mediocre campaigns are when you lose"

Not exactly, but that's a huge piece of it. His campaign has been pretty good, but the reason he's probably going to win while Harrison, Bollier, and Gross probably lose has more to do with Biden and Trump than any of the Senate candidates.

I should clarify that the letter grade should really be more based on his margin relative to Biden's, but I'm working under the assumption of a narrow Biden win in GA Tuesday.

[forsythvoter]

I give him an A. He's clearly not a career politician and I like his sharp shooting style. He's emphasizing the right set of issues (Covid, healthcare, ethics) and not the issues that would deal breakers for me (Green New Deal, etc.). Good enough to convince this voter to vote for him after leaning Perdue for most of the year.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

he seems to have learned from his loss in GA-6 and has proven to be far better than I thought he would be.

[gerritcole]

the loss in GA-06 was not his 'fault' - the race was nationalized and there was tons of $$$$$$$ against him and he still nearly flipped the seat. He would have in 2018 if he'd ran instead of mcbath

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Ossoff can manage to get 50 and not have to go to a runoff, since the count will be slow, anyways

[GeneralMacArthur]

Just as bad as Doug Jones' campaign would have been if he had lost by 1000 votes instead of winning.

[President Johnson]

From what I'm seeing, I'd say A.

Before the primary, I thought Teresa Tomlinson was a better candidate, but it appears I was wrong about that. Would be great to see Ossoff and Warnock winning.
