GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

[Alben Barkley]

Warnock just took the lead again.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Warnock's final margin might seem a tad underwhelming...but imagine if someone in 2016 told you these would be the results the next the seat was up for a full term.

Yeah.
There'd be jubiliation.

"Atlanta is the cultural leader of the United States." - Rachel Maddow

Um... I mean it's a great city and all but New York still exists among other things.

Yeah, silly comment by Rachel.

[Dani Rose]

A tenth of DeKalb comes in and instantaneously vaporizes Walker's lead.

[SnowLabrador]

Warnock just took the lead again.

Based mostly on DeKalb, this is a sugar high. Warnock can still win, but this narrative that Walker was DOA in a runoff scenario was always BS.

[ProgressiveModerate]

So the needle is just broken and not gonna be back up?

"Well, actually, such a result probably means a massive Republican landslide in 2016 and 2020"

In 2004 George Bush won Rockdale County with 60% of the vote. Warnock is winning it tonight with 75% of the vote.

GOOD LORD

I'm assuming this is a suburban county? Good lord, what an absolutely insane shift in coalitions...

Yep, just southeast of DeKalb

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Honestly, it's for the best

WARNOCK just took back the lead

You should have been banned from this thread along with your twin.

[Figueira]

A bit sad but Spalding County basically didn't swing. However, the county really hasn't been taken into metro Atlanta's influence yet, the the black suburbs aren't spilling into it yet, but it's def on the list in teh future.

I don't think we should read too much into swings from November 2022 to December 2022, except in that they help us guess who wins tonight.

Warnock *can* win. Interesting phrasing.

It's a 303 map.

75% for Warnock in Rockdale is just insane. It gave Biden less than 70% of the vote.

[new_patomic]

For all the freak-out Warnock +3 actually seems more in reach than Walker + anything.

If either Fetterman or Shapiro win, I will leave this forum forever.

Oh Warnock's ahead again, phew

I will say if there's one place I could see a non negligible amount of first round Libertarian, second round Warnock voters, it would be the biggest college town in the state.

[Alben Barkley]

Everyone in the media and myself keep mixing up "Warnock" and "Walker." I swear it's not because they are black! It's because their names both begin with "Wa" and have two similarish-sounding syllables.

"Atlanta is the cultural leader of the United States." - Rachel Maddow

Um... I mean it's a great city and all but New York still exists among other things.

No sun belt city has ever been a cultural leader along any dimension. The only exception is LA, which is a cultural leader in a bad way.

[Skill and Chance]

I wonder if Warnock will hold onto Fayette.  Warnock +10 with 69% reporting.
