Are those Gray numbers as fatal as they look for him?

Sounds like a neat job though. Don't ruin it by rubbing somebody the wrong way!

Nah she just came into the restaurant I cook in in DC. My disdain for the administration is a known quantity in the back. The chef even had her server come back and tell me she wanted to meet me as a joke.

PROJECTION: #GA06 is headed to a 6/20 runoff between Jon Ossoff (D) & Karen Handel (R). @CookPolitical still rates race a Toss Up.

Glad it'll be Handel if it is a runoff.

 

[wandering]

Glad it'll be Handel if it is a runoff.

Why's that

 

[IggyChooChoo]

Why is that?

 

[whyamihere]

Why's that

She's lost a ton of races, has a terrible relationship with the GA political establishment, and is sort of boring and bad.

 

[Teggy]

Damn you Wasserman. Going to be a long wait until June and all hell is going to break loose in that campaign.

I feel like we can make a bigger impact if we do go to a runoff.

 

[Wilsongt]

Well, another two mobths for Osoff to GOTV is good. More big guns can come down do their part.

 

[Ac30]

preface by saying Ossoff would be the first millennial Democrat in Congress. Every other millennial in Congress is a Republican.

Fuck me that's disgusting. We're supposed to be better than our elders.

Those election day drops for Dems are awful to watch.

 

[Diablos]

no. now cry it fuels the orange lord

Nuuuuuuu

 

[whyamihere]

Those election day drops for Dems are awful to watch.

Then don't get your hopes up so much about the early vote because this happens every single election! Dems vote early, GOP votes eDay.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Why? It's completely expected and not unusual at all. There are only so many Democrats, and the ones that do vote, vote more often early.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Oh, South Fulton is doing its runoff election for the council seat of that BLM organizer/DSA member I mentioned and there's a special election for Hill's state senate seat too.

 

[Slizeezyc]

There's something humorous about this based on the narratives of lazy liberals and such.

 

[whyamihere]

I'm sort of glad Cobb is in first so we can end this early.

Richard Spencer speaking at Auburn University: 'SEC football is sick. Black athletes not part of white identity. I would ban football.'

More comments like this and white supremacists won't even find refuge in the south.

 

[Holmes]

So somewhere between 46-49% of the vote. That's decent. It's a good base for the runoff, and Handel is probably the better candidate to face. She's the least popular, has the most baggage and everyone thinks of her as an opportunist. Ossoff voters must remain engaged.

This is why i usually don't watch these things, but this isn't the do-or-die result so i feel fine watching it.

 

[Oblivion]

The South: Challenge accepted!

 

[whyamihere]

Still think it goes to a runoff but there's a ton left in Fulton while DeKalb and (mostly) Cobb are done. Ossoff would need to get like 52-53% of the vote in Fulton to win which idk seems hard.

 

[Holmes]

Remember that Sean guy from RCP who was like "Ossoff could get blow 40% because he's losing .4% with every precinct". Stupid RCP.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The South: Challenge accepted!

You can ban a lot of stuff in the deep south. You could get rid of basketball tomorrow. But football? Not a chance.

Viewership of 'O'Reilly Factor' drops without Bill O'Reilly

Through four days of Bill O'Reilly's vacation, his show's viewership declined by 23 percent in the hands of substitutes Dana Perino, Eric Bolling and Greg Gutfeld.

That's the Fox News primetime B-team? Couldn't they find someone more interesting? Like literally any person on Earth?

Pretty sure they're all regular subs for O'Reilly when he goes on small vacations.

It's red, Jim.

 

[Aaron Strife]

It's red, Jim.

We just need exactly 50% of the vote.

We've got this. Believe!

Spoiler

i don't

 

[Four_Chamber]

Handel is not a political juggernaut. She has lost every major election that she has campaigned for. She is not well liked in Georgia by any stretch of the imagination. It's being lost in the OT thread but the point is this: Ossoff primary voters will be there in June. There's no guarantee that Gray/Moody/Hill voters will crossover to Handel.

Overall, if you told me that a 30 year old political newbie would win close to 50% of the votes in Newt Gingrich's former district, I'd tell you that you were insane...

Ironically, Tomi whatshername would have been perfect. Some pretty and angry for the 70+ Fox News viewers to gawk and at nod in agreement with about the dagum world going to hell in a handbasket.

I don't know if I noticed when this happened, but Ossoff at 48.7 percent in our estimate--which is a little higher than it has been/was

Nate Cohn‏Verified account @Nate_Cohn 2m2 minutes ago
Replying to @Nate_Cohn
That's getting in the range where it's worth checking in on the cumulative .8 percent going to non-Ossoff Democrats.

Dems getting real close to 50% total in this thing.

 

[Lois_Lane]

Cobb is done.

Everything is on Fulton now.

God save us all.

 

[Chumly]

Cobb is done.

Everything is on Fulton now.

God save us all.

As the vote comes in we will see if he actually hit 50% of the Election Day vote for Fulton. Very unlikely but nice to hope

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Ossof outperformed Clinton in Cobb and Dekalb by 1.5% each. Clinton lost Fulton by 2.5%

Gonna be really close.

 

[Vixdean]

Damn, Fulton? That's a Ragin Edwards stronghold, it'll be close....

 

[Holmes]

Maybe....all the votes are counted.

 

[RustyNails]

Man was hoping for an outright win tonight. Cant bear anymore tweets from orange man for the runoff.

He has 500 races to tweet about next year.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

He'll go generic for that. "Don't vote for Dems and we win bigly!"

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Looking forward to him livetweeting all of them.

He's already yelled at my congressman through twitter once I'd be happy if he did it some more

You're kidding, he's a liability for the Republicans at this point. He's going to cost them dearly.

I maintain 2018 is going to be a bloodbath for Republicans anyway. Trump tweeting about a bunch of races is just going to make it worse lol.

What a moron.

I'm starting to feel much better about Trump being elected. It's given the Democrats a shot in the arm, shattered the Republican caucuses and since the president himself is a total moron it reflects poorly on the Republicans as a whole, and on top of that he's actively promoting infighting.
