Eric Erickson on WSB radio noted the race for governor in GA is essentially tied as of today. He felt though that Kemp has a slight edge.
GA Freepers need to get out and vote!
Ah, “documented and undocumented” at work.
The LGBT Democrat supporter must be in trouble.
Oprah is heading there? If true, they must have some really great buffet deals.
Larry,
What does your research say about GA?
Yep....dims have found new voters indeed!
Is “never Trumper” Eric Erickson relevant in some way?
Just reporting what the dude had on his show.
Not a darn thing. GA, like TX, MI, WI, VA, and MN does not register by party.
All we have is an article today from a TX newspaper saying Rs are up 4 points over 2014, but that doesn’t mean anything if a lot of Ds crossed over in 2016. It then says in the primary some 500,000 Ds voted for Rs.
It also said that “da yuts” were lagging.
As for GA, not a clue. I have seen that whites were up significantly, as were blacks (as you might expect). But the white vote up a lot should be good news.
Based on what?! I think a lot of people report “essentially tied” or “behind” as a way to keep their voters motivated.
If it’s really that close, and it probably is (GA isn’t quite the “red” state some would like to believe) then we’re heading for a runoff here which means that next Tuesday is just round 1.
Eric Erickson ... still trying to find a way to be relevant.
We have to remember Trump just carried GA at something like 50.44%. That really surprised me.
I'm thinking a voting block we're underestimating is the Indian (country) vote. They are all for what they can get from the government.
President Trump won Georgia 51.05% - 45.89% in 2016.
Mitt Romney won 53.30% - 45.48% in 2012.
Notice that Hilliary! only received a fraction more percentage of the vote than MMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM Barack Hussein Obama.
So where did those other Trump votes go?
The libertarian took a lot of votes in Georgia in 2016. To be specific, 125,306 or 3.06%.
In 2012, the libertarian only got 1.16%.
I feel good about GA. The rural counties are coming out very strong. Black vote slightly off. The difference between Abrams and Obama is stark. Abrams is running a racial campaign. This will backfire.
I hope you’re right!
I hear ya. I was just wondering if he has managed to keep an audience.
Thanks for the info Larry!
51.05%-45.89%.
It's over 5 points! Do you understand how LARGE a 5 point win is in GEOWRG-UH?
Ok, it means that every resident of Georgia's non-existent 2nd-largest city at 211,141 -- by some miracle all of voting age and 100% turnout -- would have had to vote for Cankles.
2nd-largest.
Behind Atlanta.
Any of this sinking in?

Just anecdotal evidence, but at 8:00 this morning in Cobb County, there was a line all the way out the door and half way around the block of people voting early. I seriously doubt they were democrats.
First of all the betting pools overseas have Kemp at 3:5, Abrams Jemima at 6:5. That's a HUGE wagering gap.
Second, Abrams Jemima ain't Gillum -- good luck getting a 20-something Hotlanta layabout who thinks he's the next Ludacris on the voting bus on a Tuesday for a shitty ham sandwich and a bottled water.
She never had a chance. NONE. ZERO.
