Whew. I hate this man!

Lieberman was really like “Georgia is the second Blackest state in America so let me *check notes* disrespectfully refer to the first Black President as “44” and say that Georgia’s first Black Senator will be “owned” by powerful groups if elected.”

I mean, you have to get to the runoff before you can win it, but all this "most conservative Senator" nonsense seems like it would be laying poor groundwork for January.

This. She may be doing it to help her now but I can't imagine any of this is going to help in January.

Runoffs in georgia are well known, and have been for a while, to be far whiter and far more Republican than the general elections. Unless black turnout can be motivated to turn out in the runoff, its basically a foregone conclusion

John Barrow and Lindy Miller got 48 percent in a low turnout run off for down ballot offices. This isn't 2008. Jim Martin ran away from Obama and neglected the Black base. Warnock is backed by Abrams and will CERTAINLY outrun historical Dem margins in Cobb, Gwinnett, Forsyth, Cherokee, Henry, Fayette, etc

The million dollar question is, will they come back for the run off

Money, attention, and enthusiasm will not be an issue for Democrats. If Biden wins and has a trifecta, there will still be the stench of Trump around the Republican and a Democratic trifecta will not have even had a chance to govern by January5. Trump will literally still be the president and God knows what kind of chaos and confusion he’ll be up to. Warnock is going to be extremely formidable and I can’t wait until we have our run off match up settled so we can start putting in work.

God I hope Warnock can get up to 50% because I really don't think we can win any runoff scenario

It has been explained over and over again how and why a runoff would be a tossup.

[Rookie Yinzer]

It's funny how Loeffler was supposed to bring suburban white ladies back to the GOP but she will probably accelerate Dem trends more than Collins if she makes the runoff.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Were either of those runoff elections? Theoretically, if Ossoff gets 50%+ but Warnock doesn't, Loeffler might be at an advantage in January.

Again, a toss-up remains a toss-up.
