48.1 is much closer to 50 than 19.8

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Democrats tend to vote for Democrats and Deplorables tend to vote for Deplorables but for the Deplorables to close the gap they need to be close to perfect.

1. It will all come down to turnout.

2. If everybody who voted for Ossoff votes for him again we likely win.

[yardwork]

3. They all have to vote and bring their friends and neighbors.

The right wing machine is getting ready to unleash on Ossof.

9. What do they have against him, that he lives 10 minutes outside the district?

Seems kind of stupid considering he's living with and supporting his girlfriend while she works toward becoming a doctor.

11. They make stuff up and exaggerate anything they can.

4. During the 2016 Republican presidential primaries...

we watched the eventual Republican nominee come in well under 50% over and over.

He then went on to receive more Republican votes in the primary than any other Republican in history. Oh - and he is in the White House now.

It's time for us to get realistic - this is a Republican district in a Ruby Red state.

We can do better.

5. True, but...

Can Ossoff pick up any voters from the R side? Or will the 52% of repub. voters coalesce to Handel now? Not sure, unless he can pick up some independents. I'm just disappointed this morning.

6. I'm thinking it if enough non-handel voters stay home, and...

all democratic voters who voted, vote, we win!

[femmocrat]

7. Let's hope so.

Ossoff was on MSNBC a little while ago. At least he is getting a lot of exposure. I haven't seen anything about Handel.

8. Perhaps little exposure with the lame-stream corporate media

But a lot of us outside Georgia remember how she nearly wrecked the Susan Komen Foundation.

10. Handel is not that popular with Republicans.

And Democrats should still be fired up. It's not like Trump is going to stop doing things to piss off people.
