That's worth a replay BUMP

100,000 votes in... 1% precincts reporting. I take this to mean that what we’re seeing is the early vote, which was previously heavily Democratic... that has to be good news.

You may be correct. According to True Pundits site, Handel is winning:

-- The dems favorite pollster Nate Silver is starting to panic --

Did he predict Ossoff win?

NYT election live results page projecting Handel by 1.1 now, was only by 0.7 a bit ago

According to a blog I follow, Handel is very confident and has even shown up an hour early for her victory party!!!

[snarkytart]

these are early votes. ossoff, from what i’m reading is actually under performing.

That seems to be a myth.... Cobb’s reputation was smeared by one hostile early biographer looking to make a sensation. Cobb’s contemporaries seemed to regard him as a tough but fair competitor who they esteemed most highly. Allegations that he was especially nasty or racist compared to other ballplayers of his era have been discredited.

Excellent.
