David Perdue: Georgia senator pulls out of final debate after 'brutal' takedown by Democrat goes viral





RCP Average 10/7 - 10/27: Ossoff (D) +0.6

I won't say that this will put Ossoff over the top, but it's exactly the kind of thing that can decide an election. How weird is 2020? In Georgia there's a real possibility of:

Biden
RCP Average 10/14 - 10/28: Biden +0.4
Ossoff
Warnock (D), after a certain runoff.
RCP Average 10/14 - 10/28: Warnock +13.6

Wow. GA may be a bigger story than NC or FL, and I'm okay with that.

Encouraging, but I wonder who 15% of independents are voting for.

Encouraging, but I wonder who 15% of independents are voting for.

Worth noting: There are more registered Ds than Rs.

One of the articles I read and may have linked states that the biggest issue with undecideds is whether they will vote at all. Possibilities:

Those that vote will break the same way as other independents;
They lean PINO, but will have to get over their disappointment and disgust;
They lean Joe, but will have to get over their lack of enthusiasm.

[O Really]

The 15% independents may make up the bulk of the 6% "undecided." People who don't follow the 24 hour politics news cycles, people who aren't single-issue and probably don't care if anybody gets an abortion or buys a gun, people who may have a life and very likely won't even vote.

Yeah, but the chart is titled "Voter choice among early voters".

By definition, they've voted. For who?

I missed that, opps, though it might include those that intend to vote early. Maybe the others forgot - after all, they're Americans.

TNT has started showing The West Wing reruns. I wonder if decency and intelligence will seem anachronistic now.

You know, being a Democrat and a Cub fan I'm always waiting for the sky to fall. After paying more attention this cycle than is healthy, I honestly think there is an organic movement sending people to the polls to vote trump out. It's not about Biden, it's about saving this country and it probably wouldn't have mattered who the nominee was.

Pretty much coincides with what I thought in the primaries and Cheetohead had done plenty since then to reinforce this scenario.

136,669,276 voted in 2016. 2/3 of that, > 90M, have already voted in 2020. Wow.

"The waxwork museum Madame Tussauds in Berlin loaded its effigy of TV star-turned Republican president Donald Trump into a dumpster on Friday, a move apparently intended to reflect its expectations of next Tuesday’s presidential election.

In what seemed a further calculated insult, the statue of his predecessor and nemesis Barack Obama, who counted Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel among his closest allies, remained in place, beaming and besuited."

Exactly where PINO should be, then lit on fire.

Not that I have sympathy for Trumpettes, serves them right.

Stealing from them seems like they're doing them a solid. They happily kill their supporters.

Good read on election results timing state by state.

Hopefully a blowout will make it moot.

It would be funny if the stock market surges if/when Biden wins, since Trump always talks about how he's good for the stock market.

Or if it crashes with a PINO win.
