He is one of the reasons it is “purple”, genius.

See Florida and what DeSantis has done to make it solidly red.

Care to cite specific examples and how they relate to Georgia?

Strangely I feel good about this. Need to get Osshole yeeted, but WEF Kemp doesn't need to go to DC.

Most likely, Ossoff isn't getting yeeted by any of the other GOP contenders in Georgia.

ETA: Slightly clarified.

Tons of money people are trying to convince him to run. He's just tired of politics and will probably end up trying to land the UGA presidency.

Not every single thing that happens in politics is orchestrated in smoke filled rooms.

There are potentials there, if they're serious.

John King might be able to pull it off, but the name recognition will be an issue.

MTG has likely zero shot.

SDVCuck and FatBastard will be here shortly to tell us MTG can win a Senate seat in Georgia and if she loses it will be due to voter fraud

MTG is fine where she is. Doesn't need to run for Senate.

These are the same morons who thought Kemp destroying Perdue in the '22 primary was due to voter fraud/Dem crossovers.

I think even she knows her chances are slim-to-none.

So you're fine with Ossoff winning reelection?

He never won in the first place, so your premise goes right out the window...


So who is it that's casting fricking votes in the Senate?



Don't be a fricking retard. There are enough of those already.

Nah, this is probably a disaster. GA has no good bench right now and the MAGA-era upstarts have been mostly crash and burn in Georgia.

Kemp was quite conservative and would have been very useful in the Senate, his lukewarm approach to MAGA aside.

Ossoff & Rev. Wife-knock aren’t exactly Kennedy level figures.

I mean, they're in office now aren't they?

Georgia has been finicky in the age of Trump and Kemp had carved out a niche unlike what we've seen anywhere else - he was popular with conservatives hesitant on Trump and the large majority of pro-Trump conservatives.

I agree that in a vacuum neither is great - especially Ossoff who really hasn't developed any sort of base in Georgia - but we need a viable contender and right now I don't see one currently well positioned to battle in a quarter billion dollar race.

Ossoff will get a minimum 48% of the vote built in, and he's milquetoast enough to attract people not wanting to vote for a overtly MAGA Senate candidate (or for them to stay home).

Eh, Abrams managed less than 46% but yeah that was against Kemp.

My point is that Ossoff is in an awkward spot at the moment - progressive Jewish guy at a time when that isn't the preferred resume for the left without much Georgia-specific pedigree, etc.

I hope there is a very viable and personable candidate that Kemp is going to support, but given GA's history it'll probably be some next man up thing.

Harold Melton would get me enthused.

Bull shite. He made the state purple? It is only purple when Trump is running for POTUS. It was red for him. He won his governor's seat by 10 points or so. If GA could nominate a single competent GOP Republican for the Senate we would have two more seats.

Do you believe MTG would be a good option? Would she win?
