[Stranger in a strange land]

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

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).

It looks like Abrams is out:

Ugh. There goes a pick up opportunity.

Teresa Tomlinson is a perfectly fine candidate.

Agreed. Sad fact is, Abrams was going to get slimed with the "sore loser" thing, even though, IMO, it's totally unjustified. I only learned who Tomlinson was when I read her name here this morning, but from a quick Google Search, she seems inoffensive enough that Biden could pull her over the line if he's winning by a decent margin.

I am still for Tominlson and McBath. People like Terry and Ossoff remind me too much of the pretty all American boy candidate that Democrats run all the time like Murphy, Beto, and Kander but they always come up short. Yet they always seem to fail upward after losing an election.

I mean, if Ossoff somehow outperformed the Democratic presidential nominee by as much as O'Rourke or Kander, he’d be guaranteed to win the general. Obviously he won’t, but just saying.

How? Unlike Kander and Beto, he isn't inspiring or particularly charismatic. People on this site and in the political media only became obsessed with him because election-wise, the GA-6 Special was the only thing going on for a few months in 2017.
