What the hell happened to Nunn?

[Matty]

Good god.

[Maistre]

Dems are still gaining seats right?

I think once we get most of these final results in, we can make a "what the hell happened to ____" megathread.

Some others:

Alison Grimes
Mia Love
Dan Maffei
John Delaney
Steve Southerland
Lee Terry
Bill Enyart
Peter Shumlin
Anthony Brown

Democrats have a fundamental problem with Southern white males. Democrats are wusses. You gotta be manly and vote Republican.

Add Childers to that list. Obviously he was going to lose, but 38.7% -- my God, that would be an awful performance if he were a random no-name guy who never campaigned. For a "legitimate" candidate, that is just unbelievable.

Let's see what the white vote was. From pre-election analysis it didn't look like black turnout was the problem.

What are your stats?

I thought that low black turnout was what sunk Nunn.

[Boston Bread]

A number around the 30% mark was being tossed around based on early voting. That would have represented at least decent turnout, better than 2010.

Good god.

boshembechle,
What we want to know is how on Earth did you ever think that the Dems were going to pick-up seats ? That was just a crazy prediction of yours:   https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=201934.0

It was just as bad as some of the Republican members on this site, that were predicting a wacky Martian tea-party Fox-sponsored come-back win, in the presidential race of 2012.
Trust me ... you don't want your name to be included with that group.

She did great in Metro Atlanta, and outperformed Obama (08 & 12) in several counties in that region, but she got clobbered in rural Georgia. I figured she would pick up some yellow dogs in south Georgia- instead she wasn't competitive at all.

This confirms my belief that the GA Democratic party needs to rebuild itself through Metro Atlanta, not by trying to reclaim the rural areas it used to win.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pretty disappointed.

Collapse with white voters. Apparently she only won 24% of whites in the exit poll.

[Lief 🗽]

White Southerners don't vote Democrat anymore. They don't even consider it. Democrats are dead in the South.

Some dumbass around here called her overrated.

Hey but do you guys know who her dad is...
