Georgia isn’t in play

we've been hearing for 20 years that Texas and Florida were going Blue and it never happens. Now, Georgia gets lumped in there. When are people going to learn?

I want to know how the phuck that ridiculous side show of a human being was able to get that close to a normal person in Kemp. Ive seen Star Search contestants do more to earn a vote than Abrams. It looks like we are maybe 2 elections away from dems picking a homeless person from underneath the overpass in his north face tent and making him a presidential candidate.

Neither Joe or Kamala is going to get the kind of enthusiasm Abrams got from the crazies.

Then explain the record turnout in your state for early voting.

Jack ussoff got soooo much out of state (and foreign) money last go around and is now reusing his signs with a piece of tape with "US Senate" written on it.

I don't know what that means, but he's a little turd.

Yes Kemp barely got by Abrams,

So wait, isn’t she Governor of Georgia?

Georgia is a unique state.

Northern GA is vastly white Southern Appalachia.
Atlanta north of I-20 Is majority white.
Atlanta south of I20 is heavy black.
South Georgia is majority white in the rural areas (in the counties) and heavy black in the city limits of almost every city south of Atlanta.

Any black candidate is going to do well. But as a reminder, Clinton lost, Obama lost both times, John Kerry lost and Gore lost.

Everyone keeps bringing up the Kemp/Abrams election being so close. But there were two factors in play that heavily skewed numbers to the dems:

1. Abrams is a black woman who heavily played to two major demographics. This inspired a heavy turnout for the dems.
2. Kemp was in a very tough primary where he beat a popular Casey Cagel who was the Lieutenant Gov. many thought that Casey was going to win the gop primary.

So, the long and short of it is that the dems caught lightning in a bottle with Abrams and the outside influence and unlimited outside resources still didn’t bring a statewide victory for the dems.

Trump wins ga by 6-7 percent.

You are right.

If the left would have went with Abrams (and I'm thankful they did not) We would be in serious trouble.

She is a much better lawyer than Kamala and resonates with the unwashed didn do nufins...

I live in a suburban Atlanta county(south metro) and it is, aside from the county seat (which is still 60/40-65\35 red)and the retirement community in the NE part of the county, still deep red.
