Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

[junior chįmp]

to prove they arent racist

[IceSpear]

They’re a self hating white (e.g. BRTD)

I don't think BRTDs exist in Georgia.

Uh...are you familiar with Atlanta at all? Or even Athens.

Addendum: BaconKing said he once had a girlfriend who literally prayed over a bag of weed "thanking God for the blessings" before smoking it. so yeah.

I am not. But you are very, uh...unique.

Perhaps. But Atlanta is a very "hip" city.

I mean does this sound like country music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adOwtydsiro
Or this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maihcCjGQe0

Also go take a look at how Decatur voted and then consider it's over 70% white.

Also IceSpear look at this band's location and prepare to have your entire reality shattered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZOZmN6Y0YI

Yes BRTDs exist there!

There's a T-shirt that reads "Atlanta: an island in a sea of rednecks."

I don't get the Yates thing. Literally the only reason anybody knows who she is is because Trump fired her. I'm all for political outsiders if I think they can win, but I see nothing about her that is uniquely inspiring or noteworthy that couldn't be found in a variety of fundamentally better candidates. She's basically Stacey Evans if you took away her ability to relate to rural voters (and probably would end up being the female version of Jim "I'm Not a Politician: I Wear a Hat!" Barksdale).

Barrow may win the most white voters out of Abrams and the Lt Gov.

I would think so too.

[Suburbia]

I'm surprised that there hasn't been more polls on Kemp vs. Abrams.

There should be polls daily from now on til Nov. 6

I wonder if Abrams' appeal to Atlanta suburban voters could cause Barry Loudermilk to lose. (Vinings area)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Loudermilk

Abrams' suburban appeal could cost: Loudermilk, Handel, Woodall, and Austin Scott their jobs this election day.

That would be a boom to GA Democrats.

Just got a robocall from Josh McCall, the Democratic House candidate in my district (GA-9), promoting his town hall in Cumming this Thursday evening.  He's not going to win (the district PVI is R+31), but this is the first outreach I've ever gotten here from a Democratic candidate below the statewide level.

Also, Austin Scott (who's running unopposed) as a suburban congressman. LMAO, this is why I love bronz posts.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Do you guys think Isakson will resign if Abrams wins? If so, who do you think Deal appoints to replace him? He’s so sick that I really don’t think he’ll be able to serve out the entirety of his term.

Can we not?

[Alabama_Indy10]

Loudermilk's son is my neighbor

Is he cool?

[Fuzzy Bear]

There's no reason to. There will be far more whites voting for Stacey Abrams than black voters choosing Brian Kemp.

Which doesn't necessarily make Abrams a winner.

Kemp and Cagle were/are both HPs in their own ways.  Abrams isn't an FF in my book, but she's not the HP those two are.

You don't think Handel and Woodall can't lose? You've canvassed for the Abrams gubernatorial campaign, isn't her campaign translating success to other Georgia Democrats?

Seriously mate, you've spent too long on Atlas to make a non-trolling post on the idea that Loudermilk or Scott could actually lose. And grouping it with Handel and Woodall is a bit disingenuous because GA-06 and GA-07 were considerably closer than the others, and GA-06 had a high turnout special election showing that the 2016 trends were sticking. Therefor, it is only reasonable to assume that ~R+15 districts are not going to budge absent maybe another 1974 or 1934.

Cut it out.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Where do you see Bourdeaux's chances of an upset?  (i.e. what percentage chance)

Like 15 percent. It will be a 7-9 point loss for her but the Forsyth County part of the district is what will save Woodall at the end of the day. Hopefully we get a fair Gwinnett County based district after Stacey Abrams wins.

In 2016, Woodall won the Gwinnett County portion of the district 55-45, and the Forsyth portion 78-22. I think Bourdeaux will outright win the Gwinnett part by <2 points, but will still lose Forsyth by 30.

If the vote share between the two counties is Gwinnett 76/Forsyth 24 and Bourdeaux gets 51 percent in Gwinnett and 35 in Forsyth it gets her to 46 percent. I'm being generous with the Forsyth number so she either needs Gwinnett to make up more of the electorate or she's going to have to run FAR ahead of Generic D in Forsyth County.

ETA: Or maybe she'll do better in Gwinnett than I think. Those Sugarloaf Republicans might find her message palatable and Abrams should help bringing more AAPI and Spanish-speaking voters to the polls.

Sorry, I didn't know. It's speculation. Isn't that what we do here. Geez.

[Virginiá]

Interestingly enough bronz, threads you've made in the past under what you would consider just innocent speculation are very similar to the kinds of threads other users would make under blatant (eg: admitted) trolling personas, like the previous rash of "rate this [safe blue/red county]" threads. So you'll have to forgive us if much of your posting history comes off as trolling.
