Abrams was on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee a few days ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52rdKGcSO5wAs someone who's following this race somewhat closely from out-of-state, it appears to me that Abrams is enthusiastic about the campaign, while Evans is about as enthusiastic as she looks in this photo (not very):
EDIT: Also I see RFKFan has come around to my thinking (we discussed this privately at one point) on Stacey v. Stacey
:
I want to start by saying that there a lot of flaws that I acknowledge Abrams has, but what I can say is that she is committed to winning this race. I have mentioned in this thread that I was working with the Evans campaign. I have met her, her family, and have had conversations with her. There’s nothing that I can say about her personally or even on policy that is negative. However, her campaign is just uninspiring. I just have to be honest in that I feel like they are spending their time trying to rack up endorsements to legitimize her campaign and wrangle donors rather than reaching out to voters. Yes, she does meet and greets at local Democratic Party meetings, but there’s just been no progression, no substantial policy proposals, no concerted effort to reach out to voters directly before the primary season gets going. Like I said, she’s a fine woman and candidate but I had to question myself about exactly why I was working on this campaign.
Team Abrams has reached out to me personally as a voter, at least twice. If I wasn’t already inside the Evans campaign, I don’t think I would have even been contacted at this point. She is offering a different approach to winning statewide elections in Georgia, and while I have pointed out many things that may be less than flattering for her image like her tenuous relationship with her House caucus or public feuds with Brian Kemp and Michael Williams, I believe she has a team ready to mobilize and finally initiate the shift of Georgia from red to purple.
She has hired a political director who has two sons that are entrenched in the Latino media market in Atlanta, and are ready to dispatch hundreds of volunteers to register a record number of Latino voters, specifically in DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties. She has been reaching out physically to the rural blacks in South Georgia which make up nearly 35 percent of the population down there, that have NEVER been courted by either political party EVER. I see her having a massive ground game in Georgia’s population centers with huge margins coming out of the five major Metro Areas plus Athens. Her team is literally gearing up for the fight of their life, while Evans is raising money hoping to win the race by running television ads in black areas and still chasing after the mythical pragmatic rural white voter. It’s not happening. The only demographic I give Evans an edge with is white women, they are both going to get BTFO with white males, what Abrams has in her pocket is what I believe to be an unprecedented amount of civic participation by black Georgians.
I will staunchly support whoever the nominee is, but at this point I can not in good conscience put Stacey Evans up as the nominee.
