Oh Jesus Christ.. Ossof and Handel Tied Again?

[busterbrown]

We had a seven point lead and now we’re back to tied?

My God... Are we ever gonna win one?

Have friends in Atlanta have been on the phone with them all morning..

Yea and I know that Millions are being pumped into this fight by Republicans..

Live in L.A. but I’m gonna do the best I can..

1. I can't imagine being this distraught by poll after poll.

"My God... Are we ever gonna win one? "

So we lost?

Stop amusing me. There is news to be read.

[busterbrown]

4. In other words your telling us

to keep our heads in the sand.. It’ll be all o.k.

Great Strategy.. Thanks

8. I never said or insinuated such a thing.

[herding cats]

2. Other polling always had it close.

This one can go either way, but it's exciting that it's so close!

3. spoiler alert: he never had a 7 point lead nt

[busterbrown]

6. That was an outlier

All other polls show a very tight race.

[busterbrown]

11. Article mentions that it was the second time..

He held such a lead..

[geek tragedy]

16. polling error--internals for both campaigns show much closer nt

7. election to be held on unverifiable touchscreen voting machines

I would be amazed if Ossof wins.

Remember in the primary when it looked like he might win, but Fulton county suddenly had some problems?
Yep. more of that to come.

18. Not just unverifiable but the oldest touch-screen machines in the country

9. Appreciate the help. Don't live/vote in that District, but I'm close by. The biggest problem is

the district has elected the likes of Newt Gingrich, Tommy Price and Johnny Isakson for the past 25 years or more.

While Clinton did well in the District in 2016, Tommy Price won by 23%.

Hope those folks break Democratic in the special election, but it's going to be tough.

Ossoff has run a good race, but GOPer PACs are coming after him like he's a "commie," free spending, friend of Nacy Pelosi (which I don't find bad, but white wingers do). Ossoff is actually sounding rather middle-of-the-road, which is probably a necessity in that district.

We'll know next week.

10. Democrats Have A Slight Edge In The Georgia 6 Runoff (from the guy who thought HRC at 71-28 to win)

[busterbrown]

12. Yep?

Never can be trusted again... Harsh? Maybe but thats the way I feel.

15. read my reply #13

[edhopper]

13. And she did

she won by 3 million votes. Nate did not take into account voter suppression and Russian hacking in key States, turning around about 50,000 votes. Trumps margin of victory.

The GOP can steal this one just the same.

[DavidDvorkin]

17. Yes.

[blueinredohio]

14. Not until you go back to paper ballots counted by hand

[kentuck]

19. I have this weird theory...

that the more Ossoff is advertised in that District, the better the Republican will perform. Because Republicans tend to not vote for people they don't care for, unless they are attacked or feel threatened by Democrats. Sometimes the less said, the better. Just a weird theory, I know.

[randr]

20. I have a weirder theory

Close projections stop speculation over rigged machines

[ananda]

21. That's it exactly.

22. Are the Russians helping their republican friends again?

I fear the election results may be compromised by Putin moles in the republican party.
