Reply #16: A word about Georgia.

[bunkerbuster1]

GA Republicans cling to power even though they are not especially liked by actual Georgians. They cling to power by convincing an overwhelming majority of white folks to be terrified of liberals; they’ve completely written off the black vote, and typically receive an astonishingly small share of black votes.

This is not that high a mountain for the Democrats to climb. An energized African-American voting base, and a modest shift of fed-up white voters, and GA is in play. I think Obama has a shot at doing that. Clinton, not so much.
