Anecdotal story about Warnock-Walker runoff.

[Grins]

Friend visited her SOLIDLY REICH-wing Republican father who lives outside of Atlanta this weekend. On her return..

Me: So how does he feel about Herschel Walker?

Her: He said he will not vote for him. Hates him. Called him an idiot.

Me: So he’s going to vote for Warnock?

Her: No. He won’t do that.

Me: He’s going to what? Stay home?

Her: That’s what he’s going to do!

And therein lies victory!

1. Works for me.

Did he not vote for him on a Nov 8th either?

[Grins]

16. Didn't ask. I'm guess no.

[MLAA]

19. Fingers crossed there will be many more like him 🙂

Hopeful, as more turn on TFG publicly including Faux News it will give more magas an excuse to stay home

2. Thanks. Good result.

They are such fools.

[Beartracks]

3. So many Republicans just won't wake up. But if they nap on Election Day... that's fine, too.

4. I encourage them all to vote in person

on Dec. 13.

5. It's time to use "They're both no good" ON THE BASTARDS WHO USED IT ON HRC

Flood RW sites with it.

THAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE VOTER SUPPRESSION TOOL EVER.

6. Stay home republicans..it's where you belong.

7. Republican Funds for Walker appear to have dried up for GA Runoff

Here in Georgia, I am still seeing (fewer) ads for Warnock on TV and both candidates are stumping. I do not see any TV ads from Walker or even anything by "Senate Leadership" on his behalf, though Cruz and Graham are campaigning with him. Now that 50 senate races have been called for democrats, republicans really don't have much to gain by a 50th senator. No doubt TV ads will pick up as December 6th approaches. On the other hand, Biden and democrats need Warnock to avoid being held hostage by Sinema and Manchin and to get specific legislation passed by carving out exceptions on the filibuster for issues like women's rights, voting rights, marital rights, etc. GOTV in Georgia for a 51-49 Senate!!

9. Thanks for the report

I always like the input on local matters from DU-ears.

8. No point, now that control is assured.

On the other hand, we are motivated to expand our majority. Plus he's a decent and good man running against a moron.

[Nasruddin]

15. Nothing is sure

We need Warnock. It's only been a short time but as you say it seems like he's not only a decent man but is a good senator. But there's more.

There are a couple of serious turncoat risks among the Democratic ranks. Everyone probably has a good idea who they might be. Remember what happened in the other direction in 2000. One more senator makes another play like that far harder.

[Grins]

17. YES! Without Warnock we're back fighting Manchin and Sinema

Not to leave out a heart attack or other and we're again in a hole. We need insurance.

[Qutzupalotl]

20. To be clear, I was saying Republicans have less of a reason to turn out

now that we control the Senate. We are motivated to expand the majority; they are less so.

[AllaN01Bear]

10. when is the runnoff.

[Meadowoak]

14. Dec. 6

[Ilsa]

11. They voted for Walker because they were at the polls voting for Kemp.

They won't bother voting with only Walker to cast a vote for.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. +100

[Sky Jewels]

22. And they won't be deciding the Senate balance, so stakes are lower.

Why should they bother ...

[Dravot]

12. Yes, Walker is an idiot

And that ought to be enough to disqualify him. Things never should have reached the point where his sexual/abortion history became relevant.

[Wounded Bear]

18. We hope so, but we still need to GOTV for Warnock!

[Johnny2X2X]

21. GOTV

Our ground game will win this seat for us.

Republicans didn't like voting for Walker, they know he's a moron, but with the Senate on the line, it was worth it for them. Without the Senate on the line, they're staying home.
