Nice if somebody who is politically savvy this area to put some real information up on this thread. What is the real situation?
We’re well into the 2020 campaign and the GA Dems have not named an opponent to Sen. David Perdue. Now they have to come up with another Senate candidate.
I’m in GA and can’t think of a well known Dem who could be the Senate candidate. GA Dems were having trouble finding one candidate, now they have to find two candidates. Stacey was their last and best hope.
I read last night on FR that the Republican governor appoints someone to fill the remainder of Isaakson’s term which expires in 2022 so this article appears to be more farting in the wind from The Hill.
The Dem party in GA is majority black. I’d be surprised to see them nominate a white candidate.
Isackson has Parkinson’s and missed the Gorsuch hearings due to health. It was thought he would quit after 2022 anyway.
It appears that the GOP is losing a lot of congressmen in safe districts; and now a senator in a relatively safe state. But 2020 is going to be a real test for the national GOP to find, then support, the right candidates.
I’m told John James, as good a personal candidate as he is, has a bad campaign team.
McSally revamped her campaign team, but so far-—except for some badly needed joint appearances with Ward-—has not demonstrated any improvement.
The real situation is the same in every state - basic demographics.
Eligible voters in Georgia are about 60% white and 40% non-white.
White Georgia voters vote 70% Republican.
Non-white Georgia voters vote 80% Democrat.
If white and non-white voters turn out at the same rate, that puts every state wide election right at 50-50.
“What is the real situation?”
Isaakson’s Parkinson’s has gotten worse and he just had a tumor removed from a kidney ... new baby, eight other gorgeous children and a gorgeous wife ... he wants to spend his very few good remaining years with them ...
