There is only one serious Democrat running (Ossoff, who has a war chest of millions), but many Republicans all attacking each other on TV non-stop here.

Make no mistake, Ossoff is going to lose in the run-off election in June, but I fear he'll get a plurality on Tuesday, and thus we'll be treated to media propaganda headlines about "DEMOCRAT COMES OUT ON TOP IN BRIGHT RED SOUTHERN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT!!1".

There’s no way he wouldn’t get a plurality in an all-party race, but it doesn’t mean bubkas.

It is important for everybody to vote. We’ll win the run-off. But, if turn-out is light on Tuesday, the Democrat could steal this seat. No matter how many ways we split our vote, we have to keep the Democrat behind Mr. 50 percent.

I blame the local rino-gope party lead for this debacle. Cobb cty and north fulton were -STILL ARE-never trumpeted leaders. Just in march, well after this mess started, did conservatives get in charge of cobb.

The question becomes can two of the non democratic party candidates beat the
five democrats that are running. If no candidate receives at least 50 percent
of the vote in the initial April election, the top two, regardless of party
affiliation,
will advance to a runoff election on June 20.

Filed to run in the race are 11 Republicans, five Democrats,
and two independents.

There is no doubt Ossoff will get a plurality on Tuesday. That is a given. There are two dems and a ton of republicans splitting the vote.

The only question is how much of a plurality will Ossoff receive. If it is in the low to mid 30s, that should be ok. If Ossoff receives 40 to 45% of a plurality, that will show the dems have their mojo back and whoever wins the republican slot will have a lot of work to do.

It’s what’s killing us everywhere.

You mean they’re doing it AGAIN?!?!

Doesn’t anybody in the GOP SEE that we’ll never get enough REAL conservatives this way?

Well...maybe that’s the plan.

I live literally across the street from this district.

If I moved even for a day (impossible) I could vote there.

I’m thinking about saying I did.... :)

This jerkoff Osoff doesn’t even live in the district he wants to represent.

Yeah, and anyone can claim to be Jewish as he’s playing the “Jewish” card.
Jon Jackoff isn’t Jewish..

Good Easter.!

Doean’t he live about six miles south of the district? Never understood why rules allow one who does not live in a district to run respecting the people of another district.

Newsflash. The Democrat was never ever going to win Tom Price’s seat.

I really like Bruce, his politics are spot on. Plus he has a great Trump connection.

Unfortunately, if I have to be honest, he doesn’t have a chance.
