[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

This will be an embarrassing loss like KS, and MT will follow suit. Justice Democrats need to start recruiting candidates to run. Without grass roots liberalism is finished in America.

Democratic leadership can't be trusted anymore.  The Democrats suck when they're in power and they suck when they're in the opposition, whether it's to Donald Trump or George W. Bush  If they're not compromising with hostage takers when they're in the majority and watering down their own proposals, they're working to help elect their rich friends when they're in the minority.

Because it makes no difference to Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer who's in power.  They'll benefit off the tax cuts and everything else for them is smooth sailing.  They don't have anything at stake under a Trump presidency like the rest of us do.  They're fine either way.

Has someone told him he is not that liked in this district?

It's strange to claim that someone is, uh, not liked, in a district in which he gained a plurality of the vote.

What precinct will Jon Ossoff be voting at?

He doesn't care and just does what he wants. No one could have stopped him from doing this.

[GeorgiaModerate]

What precinct will Jon Ossoff be voting at?

Ossoff doesn't currently live in the district; he lives somewhere near Emory University, which his girlfriend attends.  He's pledged to move to the district after the election (assuming he wins, I suppose).

If he loses he probably will move out of state

Was Obama liked in, uh, Indiana?

[Adam Griffin]

How did this district vote in the Isakson vs. Barksdale race? I really have a hard time seeing Osoff do worse than Barksdale here. He should do at least 2 or 3 points better than him, but I agree that this is unpredictable.

60-37. This was Isakson's old district, too.

Where did you obtain these numbers? My spreadsheets that I compiled after the election have it 57-38 Isakson.

Code:

Fulton:  91080	57888	7708	156676
Cobb:    65563	35766	5947	107276
Dekalb: 35515	33192	3622	72329

Total:   192158	126846    17277	336281

At one point in time, sure. At the time you speak of the Democrat party was fairly popular in Indiana and won a majority of the 9 seats in the House of Representatives.

How is Ossoff going to raise taxes and bring in illegal immigrants don't Rs control Congress? I don't get this line of messaging from Rs.

it's the same NANCY PELOSI DEMOCRATS ARE MAOISTS primal screaming Republicans do in every election.

Mitch McConnell is his boss and controls the Senate, so that's a different situation.

Fake news!

When those charges were thrown at Mr. Gardner back in 2014, Harry Reid was the Senate Majority Leader.

Republicans took control of the Senate in that election. Mitch McConnell would have been his boss regardless since he is the Republican leader. You really need to stop with all this drama saying "Fake News", it's not amusing.

[Virginiá]

Fake news!

When those charges were thrown at Mr. Gardner back in 2014, Harry Reid was the Senate Majority Leader.

In an election where the chamber flipped control to Republicans (and where polls showed this to be a likely outcome before election day, iirc), giving them control of all of Congress. Granted Obama was president, so the issue was still moot, but it's still a different situation than now, where Republicans control everything. It's a weak claim against Ossoff, unless, I suppose, one operates under the assumption that any Democrat having any power is a threat to the livelihoods of Americans.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Nearly all attacks on Ossoff for getting money from outside the district are funded from outside the district

No, this is nothing new.  But if people would just report his racist posts instead of replying to them (or any of them at all) then this would be a much nicer forum.

Any weather updates for tomorrow?

Seeing twitter chatter that it will be heavy heavy rain and flash flood warnings from 9am to 9pm.

[Holmes]

Dropped $500 on Ossoff on Predictit

Of he loses, he's dead to me

Is it for the runoff only or until the race is over? I can see his price shoot up at any little thing during the runoff, from a respectable showing tomorrow to a crappy poll showing him >50%, and that would be a good time to sell.
