4. In the end, both Democratic candidates will win Georgia with more votes than Biden beat Trump by.

It is unbelievable. I think Trump's behavior and the 2000 stimulus thing really hurt the GOP Republicans.I heard Biden saying if you elect Ossoff and Warnock, we can bring the$2000. stimulus to a vote. I remember thinking that is the money shot. I lived in Georgia so I was feeling somewhat pessimistic but I hid it of course...don't want to discourage anyone. But boy has that state changed.

3. They will concede nothing.

What we need to watch are those slime bags in the Georgia legislature, the governors office and the secretary of state. There is no doubt after this they will do everything in their power to suppress the vote going forward. Look for new laws making it harder for minority voters to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

We must stay vigilant, they will not go away quietly.

9. Agree. GA Rs will turn the screws tighter.

Pass new rules and crap in the middle of the night and be completely unapologetic citing baseless fraud.

I do feel the GA governorship for a D is within reach as we see what is possible with focus and attention (Biden, Warnock and Ossoff wins).
