Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[pppolitics]

Does anyone have Woodbury's post pledging to leave the forum for a year saved if Ossoff OR Warnock won? Because now that's already happened, doesn't even matter in the unlikely event Ossoff loses.

I took a picture of it.

Imagine being Mitch McConnell rn

Inb4 that was a XOR.

[Florida Man for Crime]

What are Ossoff's chances?

The Needle says he will win. The Needle speaks The Truth. I believe.

[H. Ross Peron]

Looks like this race is over. Kind of hoping the Dems can flip back at least Burke if not some of the Obama-Trump Black Belt counties such as Quitman and Peach.

I've said before that I truly wanted Warnock to win, and it seems like it's coming to pass. He is the antithesis of Loeffler in every way, and the attacks upon his character were disgraceful and demeaning. She is reaping what she sowed.

You've mentioned before that you're African American, it must be great to see an African American Democrat (hopefully) elected in the south?

Yes. I may not agree with Warnock on every issue, as I've made clear my views (and registration) as a moderate independent, but I certainly see this as a historic and worthy milestone. And the pastor of MLK's church is certainly far more deserving of this seat than some arrogant businesswoman who bears a great animus against those not like her.

I'm also black and I agree 100%. It's astounding how few black Senators there have been; Obama was only the 5th one in history and we've had around a dozen now.

I thought we've only had five black Senators in the last hundred or so years. I did not know that there have only been five since reconstruction.

Ed Brooke, Carol Braun, Obama, and Tim Scott come to mind instantly. Who am I missing?

[Gracile]

I just want DeKalb to drop its votes.

LEANING OSSOFF

[Ancestral Republican]

McSally or Loeffler? Who is more pathetic?

Loeffler. At least McSally served this country honorably in the military and didnt become filthy rich from cheating people.

Being in the military isn't inherently honorable but yeah sure I'm glad she never did the insider trading.

But she had an honorable service record.

That doesn't mean anything.

Yes, it does, Edgelord.

Wahhhhh

Did someone disrespect the tROooOops? Grow up.

HE. IS. SPARTACUS!

[wbrocks67]

If the needles are correct, the polls were pretty damn accurate. Nearly as accurate as you could ask they could be.

[Oryxslayer]

Why are we all losing our minds when the pages I’m looking at still have the GOP ahead?

Dems have probably +160K net votes incoming from DeKalb. The trend is inevitable.

I'm still mad at him regardless of how these races turn out. I'd rather have 51 seats than 50.

No you can't. Or at least, you shouldn't.
