Democrats target Obama for Georgia runoff election

Georgia’s Senate runoff is three weeks away, and Democrats are hoping big names like former President Obama could help put incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) over the top against GOP candidate Herschel Walker.

While Obama has not officially announced a return to the Peach State, one source said the former president is likely to return to the campaign trail for Warnock, just as he did last month.

“If anyone can help seal the deal in a state like Georgia, it’s Obama,” one ally said. “There’s nobody on either side like him.”

During Obama’s visit, he appeared before a crowd of more than 7,000 people and spoke passionately about saving democracy.

“Democracy is not self-executing,” the former president said. “It depends on us working, nurturing, caring for it, not just on Election Day, but every day in between. It depends on us as citizens saying, ‘This matters!’ This election matters, Georgia.”

There were 81,000 votes for the Libertarian candidate in the Senate Race. I’m not counting on them necessarily turning out, but could make it interesting if some of them show up and they vote for Walker.

As we all know, when Democrats talk about saving democracy, they are talking about saving kleptocracy.

I know that most people here are not fans of Governor Kemp. However, he is popular here and won by a large margin. Kemp wasn’t my first choice in the primaries, but he is politically schrewd.

He’ll be making a stop or two with Herschel and I think this could help us take this seat.

I don’t think the racist pig bigot, Warnut needs Obonzo. The “media” is doing a number on Walker already. Meanwhile Warnut the Racist walks on water.

Sparklefarts going to campaign for Warlock or Warnock or whatever.

Are RNC or the RNSC sending anyone or any money down to Georgia?
Or is Walker simply too close to Trump?
