I supported Karen Handel when she ran for the U.S. Senate, and I support her in the special election to succeed Congressman Price when he obtains confirmation as Secretary of HHS. Handel is one brave lady, and a principled conservative. She also would become the first Republican woman to represent Georgia in Congress.
The GA-06 takes in the mostly high-income suburbs north of Atlanta. The area has been heavily Republican for decades, and comprised Newt Gingrich’s district in the 1990s. Romney trounced Obama in the GA-06 (60.8% to 37.5%), but, like in most high-income suburbs nationwide, Trump underperformed Romney in the GA-06 and carried it over Hillary by a narrow 48.3% to 46.8% margin. However, I do not foresee Karen Handel having any trouble winning the special election.
Oh no. Handel nearly destroyed the SOS office, in terms of functionality, during her term. When I hear the term “political hack” here in south GA, she springs to mind.
Uneducated, undisciplined and unmoored from fiscally conservative principles is not who we need.
Where are you getting the GA prez vote by congressional district from?
Yikes, some of these damn suburbs.
Dave Leip has the VA district numbers, the 10th district was held for us by Barabra Comstock by 7 points. Damn Shillery carried it by 10. Comstock actually lost the Loudon county portion of it by a few votes, carried the rest of it, the Fairfax and Prince Williams portions.
The OC. Chester PA.
Friggin DuPage Illinois. Her best county in IL was Cook, her 2nd best was Lake (twice carried by Bush), her 3rd best was damn Champaign (University of Illinois) and her FOURTH BEST county in the state was DuPage which Obama only won over Romney by a hair. Will was a lot closer, only a 6 point win, Will never votes more Republican than DuPage.
