oh man thats close
Holy Cow that is what you call ONE CLOSE RACE..this might end up in a recount
Very interesting race too.
Handel - picked by Palin but rino-ish
Deal - old school pol w/ a poss ethics issue but conservative
Deal is the stronger candidate and polls better against Barnes.
I’ve been refreshing like a crack addict, and I can say that it is trending toward Handel. She makes up a few hundred votes with every percent of the vote that comes in. Because today’s actual vote tally is at %100, that means if Handel wins, it’s because she won the Early Vote (in mail and in person.)
Gwinnett is only 32% in and it’s HUGE - and should go deal pretty good
Clayton is only 67% in and it’s metro atl = and should go handel
close as ever
Yeah I’ve been refreshing too. I don’t live in GA(Stuck here in Liberal looney Cali) but this race is very interesting. At the end, I just want the candidate that can beat the Dem in November. I don’t follow this Palin Vs. Huckabee nonsense. They are just endorsements, at the end, its the people that decide..I just hope that if Deal does win, he can win in November
I think Deal ends up winning..its looking that way
How is she a RINO? I’m not disputing you, I am simply curious why she gets put into that category.
Would that make Newt's picks "fat salamanders"?
I guess this is the one to watch. as of 10:36PM
FULTON 33% 11,199 27,712 38,911
(Deal) (Handel)
Go Deal! He is pro-life. I only go for 100 percent pro-lifers.
Deal has led narrowly all night, but Handel’s going to win. Most of the vote is in statewide, but Fulton County (which includes downtown Atlanta and a large chunk of the northern burbs) has only 2/3 of its vote in — and Handel is winning in Fulton 70-30.
RINOs are thouroughly spanked.
ROTLMAO!
Dude, you have no idea how bad I needed a laugh tonight!!!! Thank you!
Newt’s “Fat Salamanders” ROTFLMAO
I think a new FR legend has been born! The Fat Salamander legend of mnehring.... LOL STUNE THE BEEBERS!
Social issues,social issues,social issues.
Even if they are an ethical misfit???
To me it means that many people went to the polls and gave a damn..this is good news..Hopefully these people show up in November and vote. Every vote counts because we have to torpedo the dead votes that ACORN and SEIU will try to cram through.
That percentage is precints, not voters. I think Fulton is all in.
