Stacey Abrams is being considered to run against Purdue next week after talking with Democratic Pary leaders.

She would be our best candidate, and would certainly clear the Dem field.

I still would say Perdue is favoured, but I wouldn’t exactly like to be an incumbent with a mere +1 net approval.

After the Republican won the Secretary of State runoff, I think that Abrams stands no chance.

Abrams has very, very little chance to win this race. Results of last year elections showed that Georgia is very inelastic

I'm keeping an eye on Teresa Tomlinson but I like Stacey as well.

What is the general analysis of Stacey's gubernatorial run? The Atlanta suburbs moved in our direction but was that anti-Trump or pro-Stacey? How was Democratic turnout in other areas?

I like Abrams, but Georgia is fool's gold for democrats, even more so than Kentucky.

Dems are beating expectations in the House in the 50 state strategy. Yes, the R's kept the red state govs. But, the 40 seat pickup in House proves 50 state strategy works. Abrams will be formidable☺

Abrams won't lose Cobb County and will do better than a 1 point victory in Gwinnett County, so I don't think you should be using that to say "Abrams stands no chance"

Still of the belief that Abrams should sit this one out in favor of Tomlinson, and work the cycle to elect as many of her allies to the State Senate and House as possible in preparation for the 2022 gubernatorial election.

Only on Atlas would people that that a Trend R Trump +30 state is more likely to kick out an incumbent Republican Senator than a Trend D Trump +5 state. Sure, the fact that a Democrat would need to hit 50% against Perdue helps him, but in no universe is this race less likely to flip than Kentucky.

Perdue has a tough fight ahead but I don’t see how he doesn’t pull it out at this point. The math just isn’t there yet. I think we’ll pick up Isakson’s seat in 22. I’d rather Tomlinson run this go around tho.

she did really badly in the rurals/non-atlanta areas, even worse than clinton. if she’d maintained clinton’s margins she likely would have won

She brought a perpetual 6-8 point loss for Democrats in this state down to 1 point and this is with heaps of voter suppression at work. Yall just say anything. LOL.

Still of the belief that Abrams should sit this one out in favor of Tomlinson, and work the cycle to elect as many of her allies to the State Senate and House as possible in preparation for the 2022 gubernatorial election.
This. There are quite a few seats in the Metro that could have flipped with a little bit more attention. She should just save her energy. Once this federal lawsuit plays out she will have a hook for her 2022 run against the architect of voter suppression in this state.

What is the general analysis of Stacey's gubernatorial run? The Atlanta suburbs moved in our direction but was that anti-Trump or pro-Stacey? How was Democratic turnout in other areas?
She turned out black voters heavy in the South Metro (Clayton, Henry, Rockdale, Newton), did pretty solid in Bibb, Muscogee, Chatham, and Richmond, got Latinos and Asians out huge in Gwinnett, ran it up with white progressives in Athens, Fulton, and DeKalb, and got some crossover voting from swingy/GOP-lite whites in Fayette, Cobb, Forsyth, and Cherokee. If you look at the results in counties like Oconee, Houston, and Columbia she obviously made inroads in these wealthy, white counties statewide. Will they flip? No. But she did pretty solid for a Democrat.

I'm also very bearish on Georgia. It's a really tough nut to crack, but it is definitely moving closer to being competitive for Democrats, albeit glacially. As such, it's worth a shot to have Abrams run and see if she has better luck this time. I wouldn't hold my breath, but she did about as well as she possibly could have in 2018, and it was actually a pretty great showing, all things considered.

Abrams should run in 2020.  This waiting for 4-6 years etc often means your time has passed & a new flavor comes along. Strike while the iron is hot.

Also 2020 is a Presidential race & will have strong turnout including among young people. When a Democrat beats Trump in 2020, turnout will be mediocre & will be low among young people.

I say she goes all in on 2020. She got it down to 1%. Half the people don't vote & this is a game of turnout. With strong turnout she can win. She is a phenomenal candidate. She can win & she should run !

Also Trump is @ the top of the ticket. If Dem have a good candidate, there is always a chance that Trump implodes !

If Abrams runs again in 2020, she will lose again. And then she will talk about having another "do-over".....

I think this might actually work, if there is enough of a surge of new Democratic voters from top ticket enthusiasm, GA could flip and do so in a way that doesn't allow for much ticket splitting.

Jon Ossoff considering. I'm sure that'll go great.

She's back in Washington. Again. I think she's going to pull the trigger.

He had his chance and he blew it (though it MOSTLY wasn't his fault that the race got nationalized in a way that really wasn't helpful for him).

I think Abrams is the best candidate to beat Perdue. She’s well-known from her gubernatorial run and turnout will be much higher among Democratic-leaning demographics than in 2018. Also, she could help the Democratic presidential candidate win Georgia in 2020.
