Republicans are becoming increasingly concerned about their ability to hang on to former Republican congressman Tom Price's seat here in a wealthy, suburban district where restive Democratic energy has been surging since November's election.
Democratic hopes rest on Jon Ossoff, a 30-year-old former congressional staffer and preternaturally on-message candidate. He has raised a whopping $8.3 million for the special election to replace Price in Georgia's 6th Congressional District - more than anyone has ever collected to win this seat, which has not been represented by a Democrat for nearly four decades.

I am not worried at all. In fact, this election reminds me of Jason Kander from Missouri who was the “in” candidate but fell on his sword. No way is that going Democratic this year.
I don’t know the names, but one GOP candidate is an perpetual candidate and not a Trumper, and one of the guys in the race is a Trumper, but with only $200,000.

If they send out Hillary or Moochel or bami, there is a sure win for Tom Price...
Money down the drain. Carry on.
There are five Democrats and 11 Republicans on the ballot for this seat.
and, to use their lingo,
the ChiTrub and WashPost are preternaturally slanted far left
...He has raised a whopping $8.3 million for the special election...
Not to mention what Soros will kick in.
Yankees and rich blacks are hurting several northern metro Atlanta counties
I mean the Paces Ferry Buckhead west side is now more southern than Lower Cobb county which used to be reliable
The minority move in may be more detrimental than the blue bellies to be honest
Some suburban Atlanta is gone black big
Lithonia
Demographics in the 6th have changed
State legislature needs to get to work
The problem w these special elections for the Dems... is they can focus on one candidate and raises millions and get out the vote. So they may win but come the regular mid term elections they’ll be unable to replicate it across 100-125 races all at once.
It will go to run off. Dems may win this just because that district has changed demographics. It’s not a biggie
True words
I just got home from few days in Atlanta visiting friends in Old Roswell and took oldest temporarily not in a relationship daughter number one shopping at Phipps and Lenox
Bruising
Stayed at intercontinental on peachtree special price two great high floor rooms for half what they’d be in Nashville
It’s so incredibly multicultural as they say and heavy heavy black
And so much rich black cash but damn they mostly look like drug merchants
Tacky tacky with 1000 dollar Louie sneakers ....crazy
People are still nice though
If you go to Blue Ridge Grill on Paces at 75 it’s still old south preppie with gorgeous women
The Atlanta of the 70 s I loved
I drove past the population digital sign on Peachtree been here since it was 1.5 million metro
Now it’s closing on 6.6 million
From. 1.5 to 6 million in 38 years
Wow
No Democrat will go against the Democrat Establishment regardless of the situation. Please Georgia do not send a Democrat to Congress.
Price was a congressmen, meaning he was elected in November ? How much can a district change in such a short time ?
I’m just visiting in Dunwoody, GA, have seen a lot of Ossoff yard signs, but they don’t show party affiliation, for what that’s worth. Saw only one sign for someone called Muhammed Ali something. Doubt he’ll win.
Well, GOP, if you’re worried about losing, maybe you should stop being losers.
And so much rich black cash
