“Reality Check: if Valerie Jarrett becomes an advisor, Abrams could pull this off. Sounds like she has waaaay more experience than Obama, and remember how that turned out.”

In a hurry, but are you serious? Jarett could not push the witch over the line and she was the most experienced, the most intelligent, in American history.

Or does Jarett join the Russians in being completely unstoppable meddling in a U. S. election?

This is current. Worth noticing:

“African-Americans make up only a small percentage of some of the highest-paying of majors, including those in STEM and business. They’re only 8 percent of engineering, 7 percent of mathematics and 5 percent of computer science majors. Worse, Carnevale said even those who do major in high-paying fields, typically choose the lowest paying major within them. For example, the majority of black women in STEM typically study biology, the lowest-paying of the science discipline. Among engineers, most black men study civil engineering, the lowest-paying in that sector....

...Despite comprising just 12 percent of the population, African-Americans are 20 percent of all community organizers.”

Next time you hear about how black college graduates don’t make as much money, ask what their degree was in!

If course she has no chance. Bur Time will do whatever it can - planting a seed for the future - ‘for the cause’.

If Stacey Abrams were center-left, she might stand a chance. But she is a Radical Leftie.

The whole South east US “use to be blue”.

Changed in the 1990s when Southern Democrats woke up to the fact that their politicians said once thing at home then went to DC and voted like Marxists.

I can see Soros now, “Oy Vey, where do they find these candidates for me to support? We need more that look like Cortez to win the eyes and minds of the male vote.”

Time mag. The mag that had a photo of Obama that looked like he was descending from the heavens with a halo. Time mag. A weekly mag that is just about out of business.

Nope. Not a chance.

Abrams will motive the hard radical Leftist urban based. She will have zero cross over appeal.

Kemp will not only keep the GOP base solid, given the ads he is running, he will get a lot of cross over rural D votes. He running the sort of campaign old time Democrats use to run when GA was blue. He solidly in touch with the indy and middle or the road voters while Abrams has nothing at all to offer them

She has NO chance of winning in GA unless Kemp seriously screws up. Given the primary campaign Kemp ran against a strongly favored very well funded long time GOP figure Casey Cagel, I seriously doubt any such electoral magic trick is in the future for GA Dems.

There is a recent famous case. Remember the woman county clerk in Kentucky (Kim Davis) that refused to sign same sex marriage licenses. After that fiasco, she and her husband switched from Democrat to Republican. They were lifelong D because, well, everyone was.

And I moved to Kentucky from Seattle seven years ago and have noticed that a lot of “democrats” around me hold strong republican values, but call themselves democrats because that’s what their parents were, and their grandparents, etc.

The vote total for Kemp and Cagel in the Republican Primary Runoff was more than the Democratic vote total in the General Primary Election back in May. That’s significant because runoff elections always have less turnout than the General Primary, and it shows Republicans are motivated to vote here in GA.

BTW, I posted in another thread a couple of hours ago, that with the Democratic nominee for Governor being a black female the press will be beside themselves with predictions of GA going blue. Not happening.
