This is an utter disaster for Dump.

If it goes to a runoff and the GOP GA-06 candidate has to bash him BIGLY in order to try to make up a 30 pct gap...utter disaster...period.


Ooops. someone didn't get the news yet...

4. Keeping my fingers crossed.

No candidate received 50% of the vote in the primary. Therefore, the top-two vote receivers Jon Ossoff and Karen Handel will face off in a second round on June 20th.

Party/     Candidate/   Votes/   %
Democratic/   Jon Ossoff/   88,562/   48.6

now notice how there was one democrat and four declared republicans...

Republican/    Karen Handel/    35,502/   19.5
Republican/    Bob Gray/    19,032/   10.4
Republican/    Judson Hill/    16,456/   9.0
Republican/    Dan Moody/   15,915/   8.7
Other/    Other/    6,709/   3.7
Total votes   TBD   84
Runoff election


so- the total sum of all the republican candidates was: 93,614... or 5,052 more votes than the [D]...

and in july it will only be a [D] and a [R] on the ballot...


still feeling pretty good about shit, DUmpmonkies?

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

It's strange to put it in these terms, but the DU-folk featured in this CC thread seem a bit more aware of the situation, and are reacting more realistically.

Chances are, this was Ossoff's high water mark. As was pointed out even before this election, in a run-off, it's just him vs. the lead R vote-getter. IOW, all those R votes are likely to go to the R, leaving Ossoff likely to lose. Other factors may depress the D vote: it came out late that he doesn't live in the district; it also came out late that he's been living with his GF for 12 years (Can you say, "Commitment problem"? Or maybe, "Free ..."?); it'll be a slow process, but D bitterness over Trump being elected will diminish to just the core DU-style Trump-haters; Trump's accomplishments are very likely to increase (NoKo is an almost sure lose-lose for the Ds: if Kim III backs down, Trump looks good; if Kim III stays stupid and "forces" Trump to make him Kim Chee, Trump looks good).

I knew they would try to spin this as a victory for their candidate, Ass-off or whatever his name is.  :p




(That's a joke by the way. Apparently, some of the democrats' ads didn't bother mentioning such trivialities as their candidate's name).

So clean-slatewise, starting today, the Dem leads 48.6% to 47.6%.

No problem for the Trump/Sessions/Price machine to overcome by June.

The Dem has to continue to justify why he doesn't live in the district, while looking-and-sounding like Anthony Wiener.

It appears you meant '...for the DUmp.'

I was just about to post that a better title for that DU thread would be:

This is an utter disaster for the DUmp!

The Ds' best chance for flipping this district was in this election, when R votes were spread across multiple candidates.
