Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[Blair]

This certainly seems to be becoming the most bitter primary on the Democratic side this cycle (ignoring  Lipinski v Newman)

I know there's probably an answer somewhere else on the thread, but I'll ask anyway.

I read a lot of the 'old democratic' machine in Georgia is supporting Stacey Evans- is there any reason why they favour her? Abrams seems like a much better candidate based on what I've seen of the two.

I remember when everyone said Doug Jones would lose because he was pro-choice...

[Blair]

I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I can't remember whether it's Cagle or Kemp who is seen as the un-electable idiot who'd actually give Abrams a good shot at winning.

Casey Cagle is starting to look real vulnerable though. After trying to come across as a Country Club Moderate Republican, he is shifting hard right in his appeal to voters, he has scandals coming out left and right, he could potentially cause a turn out drop off in the rural areas, he threatened (and followed through) on denying a tax incentive for Delta over the NRA. He just comes across as a try-hard, slimy, and corrupt.

Abrams will put up a formidable race against either one though.

Cheers; as you said, it appears that both candidates are immensely flawed. I would have assumed that the Georgia GOP would have had something better to offer, but that's going off pure assumptions.

Forgive my ignorance; but is Abrams virtually dead on arrival if it’s a run off? I can see a very cruel scenario where she’d beat Kemp but not reach 50%.
