Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[Flake]

Part of me really wants Broun to win the Republican Senate nomination because I love Michelle Nunn, but the other part is afraid if he might win and what happens.

[Flake]

The entire government of the State of Georgia in one chart.

Jesus Christ lord almighty....

RedState is endorsing Loudermilk for CD11.

That's a shame. Loudermilk is really a terrible person from what I've gathered. I've heard personal stories from friends that would make your skin crawl and that are so out there that I don't even want to repeat them for fear of sounding crazy.

I'd actually would like to know

[Flake]

Is there a chance that Paul Bbroun gets the nomination?

Yes. This is Georgia.

And then we'll get Michelle Nunn (since he is Paul Broun)

[Flake]

For the next two months, Kingston and Perdue are going to be spending millions going harshly negative against each other. This is going to be vicious and everyone is underestimating the extent this will help Nunn.

Since the runoff looks like a tossup right now (Kingston leads iirc) she has time to define herself as a candidate before they define her, and she really should capitalize on that.

Let's play a game! Can you spot which South GA counties had competitive primaries in local elections this year?

idk this was pretty tough but i think the fourth one's right
nobody here understands sarcasm, this post is bound to get somebody on my ass for drawing circles around jacksonville and griffin country

Michelle Nunn takes the Ice Bucket Challenge

So does Sam.

[Flake]

Very smart move.

Why did Barnes perform worse than Obama in the Northwestern portion of the state?

[Flake]

How do you feel about Deal, Carter, Nunn, and Perdue?

Who's your favorite candidate that you'll vote for this year?

Do you think Deal's done a good job with education?

[Flake]

1) Do they know that their favorite member of their family (you) is a liberal? How do they react?
2) Are they still registered as democrat?
3) Opinion of SSM, the gays,...?
4) Which candidate do they prefer more? Carter or Nunn?

So gramma, how do you feel about the gays?

Senatorial debate has wrapped up; Gubernatorial is about half-way through

Carter's doing great! I only wish more people would see this!

A fascinating development in a downballot race today: the incumbent Republcian School Superintendent, John Barge, endorsed the Democract, Valarie Wilson, for the state's top education position. If you remember, Barge has always been a maverick and attempted an ill-fated primary challenge on Deal in May.

There has been some polling in this race and it's proven to be as just as competitive as the races at the top of the ballot.

omg yes



btw guys if there isn't a Republican incumbent running for reelection as School Superintendent in 2018 there's a very real chance my dad's cousin will be running in the GOP primary for that office

if that happens plz forgive me because I will be actively campaigning for a Republican

(he wanted to run this year but Deal's people dissuaded him from running by giving him a cushy job as the high level administrator for a state program)

[Flake]

Here's the margin shifts between last week's SUSA poll and the new one. One of these things is not like the others...

Governor: no change
Senate: Perdue + 5
Lt. Governor: Cagle + 3
Sec. of State: Kemp + 2
Attorney General: Hecht + 2
Superintendent: Woods + 3

That swing makes no sense at all, especially for Superintendent.

Important announcement!
Us Red Georgias will be hosting a Peach State election night IRC extravaganza! All are welcome to attend, of course.  I'll post the link on election day.

Can the Sunshine State join in?

[Flake]

Can we just make him the national democratic outreach person please. It's obvious he's doing far better than those involved today.
