The democrats blew their cash trying to avoid a runoff... But Handel will defeat the liberal pajama boy in the next round... when it counts.

It’d be funny as hell if he missed 50% by 1 vote, considering he can’t vote for himself.

George Soros.

The Georgia Republican party must have a large stock of participation ribbons.

Yes because the precincts that haven’t been counted are heavily GOP. He started the night at 562.

He will drop below fifty by the end of the might

This while thing has been blown way out of proportion.
It is in DeKalb and Fulton Counties and Cobb. Republicans ran 17 people. Dude will get less than 50% of the vote even so.

Maybe Ronna Romney will somehow find her tongue and SPEAK UP about the wisdom of having so many candidates spliting the GOP vote. She is, after all the RNC Chair. Very low profile.
I have seen less of her than I used to see of Reince.

Live results (supposedly):

Even the NYT admits Ossoff won't come close to 50%.

Ossoff at 50.3% with 55k in Fulton County left. Our guess he gets 45%; needs 49. Seems small, but very hard.

Conspiracy? Sounds more like normal business.

1) many northerners voted their own states uninhabitable, left, but never made the intellectual connection, and now vote the same way here.


They do that all over the country. They wreck one place, can’t figure out why they no longer like it there, and go on to another place and repeat it.

Was not very impressed with her appearance on Lou Dobbs’ Show Tuesday night.
She said that she had (only) visited 15 states since taking over as RNC Chair.
And, I am very skeptical of her intentions, considering the fact that she’s Mittens’ niece.

Ossoff oddly tries to sound EXACTLY like Barack Obama. “From Georgia”...but has identical accent and speaking manner of Barry. Truly bizarre attempt at neuro-linguistic programming.

Yeah, it wasn’t long ago that they’d declare a recount if the Dem only got 47% and steal it in the re-re-recount.
