Tuesday's Election Day forecast for Georgia; Slight chance of showers in the north due to a passing weak cold front, otherwise, partly sunny skies, highs generally in the 50's in the north, 60's in the south, with widespread voter intimidation, occasional voter suppression, with expected calls of fog / fraud later in the night....
Fingers crossed, legs crossed, eyes crossed, and I tied my pecker in a knot for good measure. A critical day for our country's future. This country may owe Stacey Abrams a real debt of gratitude soon.
Even if the House passes it, m4a will not get the 60 votes required for cloture in the Senate. The democrats in the senate would have to eliminate the filibuster.
That's just factually incorrect. One example is Biden's climate agenda. It's vastly different from Trump's and is more aggressive than previous Democratic presidents have proposed.
Reporting from the ground, it's an absolute shit show here. And while the presidential election went blue, I'd be shocked....shocked I tell you....if both races went blue. If I was a betting man I'd put my money on red for both races.
The political ads are relentless including banners on planes with a fetus. $800 million spent that could have gone to food or housing. Sad. All up in smoke.
I do see this state trending blue in the future. It may take some time, but there has been a lot of change in the decade-plus that I've been here.
Meanwhile in PA the Republicans have staged a coup by refusing to swear in a Democratic Senator who is the certified winner of his district which has been up held by the court.
So far, we've got a decent cohort of rural, extremely Republican counties that are below 90% of November turnout levels. That's got to worry Rs, b/c we know at least DeKalb - the biggest Dem vote trove in the state - is going to be *above* 90% of its November turnout level.

In lieu of my more typical taco based tues. activities, I opted for chipped beef on toast (S.O.S.), made with corn and leftover chuck roast... perfect for electoral digestion!!!
Results are tightening up fast. Will be a long night.
I don't watch regular TV and missed out on all the election ads in 2020 but made up for it in spades last week when I was down in North Florida visiting the folks. They have the TV on all the time and the Jacksonville TV market includes SE Georgia, so I was exposed to nonstop ads for this election. The short of it (according to the ads) is that Offsoff is a Chinese agent and Warnock hates god, the military, and white people.
>The Democrats now appear favored to prevail in both of their Senate races in Georgia, and therefore are the favorites to take control of the U.S. Senate, writes Nate Cohn. Read his latest analysis:
haven't counted mail in ballots yet...Wasserman (Cook) has called it for Warnock, suggested based on county levele dTa that Purdue and Loeghler are dead meat.
Trump started crying fraud months before the election in November.
The race still seems close but Democrats are overwhelming favorites to prevail, including Jon Ossoff, who still trails David Perdue by a narrow margin. The remaining vote is from heavily Democratic counties.
Get ready for Senate Minority Leader Bitch McConnell.
I bet some of those old fart Republicans down in Georgia went to bed with the Loeffer and Perdue in the lead and will wake up only to find that there had been "secret ballot drops" late at night that stole the election again - Doh!
Plenty of evidence that Trump is a Useful Idiot backed by Putin in order to destabilize America. The question is: are the Trump loyalists being manipulated by Putin or are they simply power hungry traitors
Don the Con is in a long troll of the repugs for basically throwing him out of the primaries his first tries.
Maybe it was his plan all along to blow up the party.
I first thought this when he got Sessions out of the senate thus ending his political career<<<
I think you're right at a fundamental level, but I don't believe Trump would've been copasetic with the GOP had they not "crossed" him; rather, he's always been and always will be engaged in a perpetual game of cut-throat. The only team he's ever concerned about is himself.
