Hehehe - that’s a good one!
whatever
#Ossoff spent $10 million and didn't get over 50%? It's the #Russians! 😂 #GA06 #FlipThe6th
Past 2 a.m. in Georgia. Did they give up counting until tomorrow??
Yes, when I first saw the Ossoff headquarters, I saw all these gals with head scarves running around. Another closet Muslim? Arab money and backing? The Al-Jazeera connections? This guy needs extreme vetting from now until June 20. We don't want another Manchurian Candidate.
Maybe won’t be a runnoff...to save $ and embarrassment maybe they Seth Rich him.
Final results: All Republicans combined got 51% (rounded off). The other side 49%. That is the same percentage Trump got against Clinton. Far short of Price’s 60%.
The Ossoff ground game needs to produce only 1.5% more (930) people to win. Just 930 people is not much in an effective ground game. Between now and June 20 just ten more effective volunteers (or 5 effective professionals) could do that easily.
The current GOP party leaders in both Fulton County and the State seem to be far to complacent, lazy and asleep to address the reality.
It’s like playing Russian roulet and saying “there’s only 1 bullet in the six shooter”.
Alternatively the Republican base could come out in greater #’s and Ossoff could lose decisively.
I think part of it is that Trump’s brashness rubs a lot of Southern gentlemen the wrong way. Among them are many who very much liked candidates like Romney and Kasich.
Why the long faces DNCNN? Looks like someone shot your dog?
While the runoff needs to be taken very seriously, I think the ground game took Ossoff from the 40% that was being predicted for him to the 48% he got, and that this is the max he can get.
We really, really need to work on Republican turnout.
Boy the Dems sure threw a lot at this
They must be crying
I watched a conservative professor from Georgia Military College weeks ago explain this was all media hope
That the only reason Ossoff was polling well was so many GOP candidates in the race and the media hype
That the GOP would prevail
Yes the district is less conservative than 20 years ago but it’s still a GOP district
I don’t get the beef with Handel here on FR
You’re both right - thanks.
Why hasn’t the Trump Administration sent to the Senate 47 DOJ appointees? How hard is it to get a slate of good DOJ appointees? Even Sessions is complaining! WTheck!!! This is irresponsible.
I guarantee that the Dems can find another 10 dedicated volunteers who have proven to be effective door knockers. Between April 20 and May 20 they could each register 50 new voters easily. Those new voters are guaranteed to vote for the person who registers them. It has zero to do with issues and everything to do with personal dynamics.
Those 10 dedicated could each find another D 50 voters who did not vote in April and get them to vote June 20. That is 1,000 new votes for Ossoff.
Above is a common thought process of ground game players.
I’m an average ground game worker, probably because I’m too analytical and lack the positive cheer leader personality.
I’ve done the above multiple times.
I’ve met some ground game workers (both Rs, Ds and switch hitters) who could deliver 1,000 new voters each between now and June 20. But they are not the typical volunteer.
If the Republicans don’t wake up in that district they could be embarrassed.
Remember this wasn’t a party primary but rather all candidates were on the same
ballot, democrat, republican and others. So if you are a legal voter come election
day you can vote in the runoff whether you voted in the first election or not.
Fair enough.
Another factor in this runoff is how many of the other candidates’ voters will
come out and vote? Some probably were supporting a certain person for reasons beyond
a party identification like maybe a friend, neighbor, asked by someone to vote for
him/her. That doesn’t mean they are necessarily going to vote again since their
original candidate is now gone. It may well come down to diehard voters to make
this decision. Quite often runoffs have fewer voters.
Thanks, I see you addressed the issue better than I did. Take care.
