...winners?

sanders?...


what?

Third times the charm huh?

I don't even care for Sanders but if you think Hillary is the one that's going to resurrect the party you're sadly mistaken.

I didn't think Bernie stans still existed.

Anyway, 538 had the race at a 50/50 tossup which mean Handel will probably win. If I'm the Democrats, I'm not discouraged in the least bit though. The GOP should be winning by a large margin in that part of the city and they aren't.

It’s hard to overstate how many of the locals we talked to who are anxious for things to get back to normal.

Take Keiko Coghlin of Sandy Springs. She told our intern Martha Michael that she voted for Karen Handel because Jon Ossoff’s campaign “just drove me crazy.”

“They called our house, stuffed up our mailbox, they even rang our doorbell. We were really turned off by that,” Coghlin said. “For anyone that was on the fence in this election, this kind of stuff really pushed you towards Handel.”

This is what I was wondering about with all the national hype. There is a point of over saturation.

Kochs' seem to be making out pretty well

They tend to target their paranoia better

I think the danger in that thinking is that you're assuming that everyone had the same motivation to vote. Maybe you're partial to republicans but you're not impressed with Handel or ossoff and say duck it. You stay home.

Now you have one side constantly ringing your door bell and calling your phone. Now you're pissed off and if you had no motivation before you now have the additional motivation to say fukk you.

Maybe you're a fence sitter and this swayed you one way.

At some point it can feel like harassment. This race has gotten a lot of attention and I think people forget this isn't a national race. It's local to the people who live in the district and the media attention probably makes the whole race feel oversized for what it should be.

The Project lost them or they never existed. Any other explanation being insinuated is :harden1:

Interstate Crosscheck has taken hundreds of thousands off the voter rolls.

then thats just the risk you take

if too much exposure makes you actually vote against the guy than just not vote at all, you werent voting for him in the first place

people cant complain about not reaching out to voters, then complain about reaching out too much
