Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

Why has no one disciplined bronz, yet?

Do y’all think there is a good chance that Abrams could outperform Gillum on election night whether either of them win and/or reach 1st place?

Lovely sight in Monroe, Georgia.

But I'm curious. Why Abrams?

[OneJ]

Do you Abrams people think she has a better chance to win outright on Election Day or in a runoff?

Tough to say, but I’ll go with Election Day rather than the runoff due to the difficulty of pushing a lot of low-propensity voters.

Brian Kemp backs out of last debate:

Abrams should go anyway for optics purposes.  Have the camera point to her standing next to an empty chair/podium/whatever.  If they do the whole "Candidates ask each other questions" thing again, she could humorously ask "So, Mr. Kemp, what is your view on..." while talking to an empty chair, just to really rub it in that he's absent.

LOL! I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Did anyone see the interview with a Kemp supporter on MSNBC just now? It was ridiculous.

Nope.  Details?

It was a middle aged White lady. She was being interviewed by Katy Tur.

Katy asked her if she was concerned about voter suppression and the fact that 70% of the people targeted were Black. She said that she didn't believe that Kemp was targeting anyone. She also said that if the 70% number is true then maybe it's because "Black people can't follow instructions".

Katy then asked her about how she feels about celebrities like Oprah coming to Georgia to campaign for Stacey. She said that Oprah is "from Chicago" (Oprah is from Mississippi just like Stacey Abrams) and that Oprah should instead focus on the problems in Chicago.

It was unbelievable.

Reminds me of “the Blacks all live on one street in Chicago and they all kill each other.”

Fulton done reporting now. Looks like the final statewide result is 52-48. That's actually pretty embarrassing for Republicans in a low-turnout Georgia runoff, I must say.

I think I disagree here. Georgia is just one of those states that's changing relatively quickly and just so happens that it doesn't favor the Republicans. Georgia has been trending Dem for a while now. I'd argue that MS-SEN Special Runoff is more embarrassing.
