Ossoff got 71% of EV in Dekalb vs. 57% for Clinton

71% of EV in DeKalb is pretty much exactly the benchmark he needs for 50% districtwide.

pretty good start but I'm getting KS-04 deja vu and I'm afraid of early vote so I'm playing it cool

Ossoff just went up .2%. Anyone know why?

So much for the #resistance.

This is a buffoonish post. Much like is the KS-4th, Dems should not be doing this well. Yes, Clinton did well, but Price won in a landslide.

Thank you for this

and ? the goal is not to beat trump, the goal is to get 50%+

A goal is to get 50%+. That would have been amazing, and few people projected it here.

If he's scoring at 48 or 49%, that's a very good position to be in heading into the runoff. Better than the low 40s showing in the polls where he'd never make up the gap to 50.

you are right but 2 hours ago, expectations were that ossoff would win without runoff. And 2 months are an eternity in politics...

That's patently false. The "expectations" were not he'd win OUTRIGHT. The expectations were a big shoulder shrug and the HOPE was he'd win.

not my impression... look at the previous pages on this thread...

Yeah that's crazy Atlas expectations being sensational. We are not pundits (thank God). Actual Punditry was far more measured. The last few polls showed Ossoff at 44%. He'll likely do better.
