Reed comes off a bit arrogant. Isn't this his first political campaign for himself? He's really looking toward the GA governor's race in four years.

Whereas Cagle has been a state senator for 12 years. He's worked his way up after many years of campaigning.

Another thing about Reed. Going from a lobbyist to a politician raises a lot of questions. Who would Reed be loyal to? The citizens of GA or his friends outside the state.

"McKinney wins. Too many outstanding DeKalb precincts."

It's certainly looking that way right now. Let's not forget that the lily-white GOP areas in far north DeKalb were extracted from the district in last year's redistricting.

He's not pulling ahead in the more rural counties. That means he's dead in the water. Redd that is.

[Chuck54]

That was probably Munford road and it was really out in the county then. Very nice area, great people, always waved when passing. Just a great place to spend summers I bet.

We lived in the town of Bartlett, just off Sycamore View. It was much more quaint when we moved there in '83. Great school system.

"McKinney wins. Too many outstanding DeKalb precincts."

The late precincts are always for her. Smacks of voter fraud, which is always possible in her case. Perhaps the poll workers in her precincts are just as stupid as the voters.

[tyrem1166]

He's got no substantial lead in rural counties. Therefore, he's dead. Bye bye Ralph!

[GOP_Muzik]

you answered you own question.

[Chuck54]

I'm not sure, but the announcer said they were above their average of 8.7 per game for the month of July.

They're in a zone. Hope they stay there.

"McKinney wins. Too many outstanding DeKalb precincts."

McKinney holding her seat is a good thing. She is a liabilty to the dems and always good for a laugh. No way that seat could ever go republican anyway, right?

[Chuck54]

Chipper homers, 11-1 Atlanta. Wow.

[GOP_Muzik]

As much as I despise her, you are probably right, I am just unfortunate to live in her district because of gerrymandering.

[Tatze]

Heard today that the Braves have scored 59 runs over the last 5 games (excluding tonight), the most over a 5 game stretch since the 1800's. ?? Don't know but sounds impressive. And add another 11 over 6 games...

What did they do over the All-Star break?

Look at this way. You get to vote against her and the rest of Georgia is solid (R). You are on the front line.

[Chuck54]

5th in row for double digit runs. Announcer just mentioned it.

[RobFromGa]

Is anyone watching returns on TV, have they called Cagle yet?

[rlbedfor]

I guess the fair weather fans are showing back up now.

[GOP_Muzik]

Oh I already voted against her today, since GA has no party registration I crossed over and voted for Hank and against every RAT incumbent, it was quite fun.
