Well connected politically.  Funded by sources outside the state even as early as the primaries when she ran against a fellow Dem female candidate.

Repubs will need a good voter turnout and they'll be OK.

If Repubs are complacent, she could pull it off.

I'm seeing an effort from Dems to get out the vote among young new voters as well as their base, but I'm not seeing a blue wave starting to surge.

The MAGAnaugh surge might be enough for Kemp supporters.

Be sure and talk this up with your friends and tell them that they need to be sure and vote or else:  taxes and crime will go up, essential services will degrade, the quality of education will decline and illegal immigration will increase.

Tell them that the majority of money going into the Abrams campaign is from out of state and that the people of San Francisco think she's wonderful.  If you want a San Francisco east, she's your gal.

Also tell them that if a pollster contacts them to be sure and tell them how wonderful Abrams is and how you can't wait to vote for her and all the little other commies on the ballot too

This. Poll stories are frequently intended to suppress the conservative vote.

I also suspect that conservatives tend to be underrepresented in polling because they don’t want to engage with pollsters.

They say this about every race, and the Democrat always loses by 6%

They don't poll in the rural areas, only in Atlanta, Macon, and Augusta.

Georgia is much bigger than Atlanta, Macon, and Augusta.

In nationwide polling, yes.  they did.  They were pretty close too, within the stated margin of error.  President Trump lost at the polls, and won in the Electoral College, which is where it counts.

So far as I know, there is no electoral college in Georgia state elections.  Uh-oh.

I’ll have to take your word on Georgia/Atlanta, but I know the problem with Virginia is at least 80%Northern Virginia with most of the rest in Richmond and Hampton Roads (mostly South Side)

Two tactical nukes in the former and one a piece in the latter two, and Virginia would be redder than red.

She’s black, which is enough to carry a lot of South Georgia counties.
All she has to do is carry the Atlanta area counties .    There is at this time  2 Georgia voting elements .   Atlanta which is number 1 .   Then there is the rest of the state .  All that she needs is to carry  Atlanta .   I figure she'll get Macon , Savannah ,  Augusta , Valdosta area , and Columbus .   That will be difficult to over come .

Georgia has only had 2 Republican governors since 1872. Both of them started as democrats. Georgia has been a somewhat conservative democratic state. Now the leftist democrats have arrived. I'm looking at moving.

Calm your tits, it ain’t going to happen (this time around.) With all the money and astroturfing going on, they’ll make a good attempt but Atlanta alone won’t do it for her. Not to mention, Kemp is conservative enough to fire up the base no more lukewarm support for the likes of Deal. My prediction, much with Cruz in TX, will be a spread of 7-8 points in favor of Kemp.

No doubt we have long-term concerns in this state. Much like places like FL, VA and NC demographics are changing but we’re not there yet. It’s not even certain it’s a foregone conclusion that’ll happen; same noise as “Texas turning blue.”

University professor offered extra credit for students who attended Abrams’ event

An associate professor at Clayton State University acknowledged she made a mistake by offering students extra credit if they attended a campaign event for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, Channel 2 Action News reported. The rally took place at the university Tuesday morning, and it also hosted U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.

An email, obtained by Channel 2, was sent by Andrea Allen, an associate professor of criminal justice, which said:

“Although I never offer extra credit, I’m making a onetime exception. I’m sure you’ve heard by now that the Abrams campaign along with Senator Warren are visiting campus tomorrow at 10 am in the UC commons. They would like a really big turnout. To help out I’m offering the following opportunity: If you attend, take a selfie of you at the events, and upload a pic to the folder I’m creating in D2L, I’ll add 2 bonus points to your final grade.”

If you were gonna manipulate polls to drive turnout, this would be how you would.

If you make the race dead even, you gotta vote, because its so close.

A blowout either way, will drive down turnout.

High turnout favors dems.

Ga law requires names on voter rolls to match the voter's name on their drivers licenses and birth certificates. Seems pretty reasonable to me, but since many black people have names that are more difficult to spell, this is obviously racist.

I’m confused. I thought the media saying the Democrat was sure to win was or the Republican was sure to win was the way to suppress the conservative vote. That makes a certain amount of sense. Stay home because it’s hopeless or stay home because it’s in the bag.

How does showing the race as neck and neck convince conservative voters to not vote?
