Can Barrow or Marshall be beat this year?

How do the GOP guys line up?

Scott likeable conservative

CMaree (Diary) Tuesday, July 20th at 9:11PM EDT (link)

He will walk all over Marshall’s district. The problem is how to convince some who mistakenly believe Marshall is conservative for a Dem. He is a poker player, voted against the Health Care Bill after the vote for it was locked in place.
We will have to work to change perceptions to truth.
That will involve time and donations to Austin Scott.

I Think GA-08 Is Starting To Look Good

IJB Tuesday, July 20th at 10:30PM EDT (link)

Scott looks to be winning this Primary outright, which is always a good sign.

Give Scott some funding, and I think he’s got a real good chance this year.

Low GOP turnout in GA-12

jisaacconnett Tuesday, July 20th at 11:51PM EDT (link)

Unless the GOP is able to really get people out to vote in November, it looks like Barrow will be safe. What a shame! We really need to get that Democrat rubber stamp out of DC.

Turnout Not That Low...

IJB Wednesday, July 21st at 1:25AM EDT (link)

About 33K D vs. 27K R. It’s not great. But it’s close enough that if you add in Indies that will show up in the General, it should be competitive.

But, I agree that GA-08 looks like a much better bet right now.

…Of the 33K D votes in GA-12, Barrow won just 58% of them.

For an incumbent, that’s pretty awful.

Would seem to imply Dems aren’t very unified in GA-12.

So maybe things don’t look quite so bad there afterall…

Republicans fired up?

jisaacconnett Tuesday, July 20th at 8:55PM EDT (link)

With only 11% of precincts reporting, about 35,000 more republicans have voted for candidates for governor than have Democrats. Perhaps the Democrats are not too excited about their choices. Handel over Deal by about 6%. Still early.

I'm A Litte Worried About SomeHouse Vote Totals Though

IJB Tuesday, July 20th at 10:33PM EDT (link)

The GOP totals in some of these House districts (even the GOP ones) looks to be somewhat less than it was in some of the earlier states’ House race primaries.

Dunno if that means anything, or it’s just that fewer voters are around in GA during the height of the summer vacation season…

Liz Carter vs Hank Johnson

jisaacconnett Wednesday, July 21st at 12:32AM EDT (link)

It looks like Liz Carter will be running against Hank “Guam”
Johnson in November. If I had been in that admiral’s shoes when Johnson made that comment about Guam tipping over, I would have burst out laughing. He is so pathetic. He should be required to pass a sanity test before returning to office. Why do Democrats vote for people like that?? Can we survive idiots who elect idiots?

Handel safe

Karen Handel now projected in the runoff. Nathan Deal looking good for second. John Oxendine currently fourth!

Lets hope Handel wins runoff cause Deal and his ethical problems is not what we need in Fall

Log in to Reply

I think she's got it simply because

animatorgirl Tuesday, July 20th at 11:16PM EDT (link)

all she has to say is that Barnes will destroy Deal on his crappy ethics record, which is true. Furthermore, he won’t be popular with the grassroots because he represents the Washington Establishment to them.. If he keeps up with the negative (and in my opinion, sexist) bent to his campaign, he’s going down in flames.

I’ve talked to a few people who’ve stated that they’re for Handel, but they’re waiting until the runoff election to vote, because it will “count more.” I think they should have voted today,too, but I can’t argue with their logic. That may mean that Karen gets the turnout in a runoff (anecdotal though the sample is).

Voter tally up due to tea boiling over

CMaree (Diary) Wednesday, July 21st at 10:34AM EDT (link)

in Atlanta, up north and spreading throughout the state.
Atlanta, Georgia is the birthplace of the current Tea Party. A few TPs claim to be indies, but most are right of center Red State thinkers. Time to get them focused on Austin Scott and Liz Carter victories.

Oops, GA voter comment

CMaree (Diary) Wednesday, July 21st at 10:46AM EDT (link)

put in wrong reply space. All our friends, animator, need to step into the voting booth at the August 10th primary. I hope we can exert a full press for a Karen Handel win.

Vote totals

rdelbov Tuesday, July 20th at 11:08PM EDT (link)

in 2002 was 480K for the GOP primary
In 2002 there roughly 440 K in the democrat primary

There was several contested GOP primaries then–not much on the democratic side.

In 2010 the semi contested democratic primary may total 370K. That’s down from 2002.

The GOP primary looks to total around 650K. That’s a record primary turnout for a non Presidential year for the GOP in Georgia. 650K compared to 370K–where is the passion in 2010?

There has been record turnouts in GOP primaries this year-for non Presidential years- in Maine-South Carolina-Georgia-Alabama-Kentucky-Indiana-Arkansas-Texas-New Mexico-Nevada.

#of states with record democrat primary turnouts————-that would be none

Could there be some interest on the GOP side??

Best possible results in the Gov race. Handel and Deal. Hopefully things won’t get too nasty.

It will

redtillimdead (Diary) Wednesday, July 21st at 12:15AM EDT (link)

Thats a guarantee with Deal. He’s been attacking Handel all weak. While Handel-Deal is probably easier for Handel to win, I wish it would have been Handel-Johnson, as Johnson was the only other person I liked in the race. However, I think Johnson could have beat Handel.

Austin Scott has best shot against US House Ds

pilgrim (Diary) Tuesday, July 20th at 11:57PM EDT (link)

I know a lot of folks want Liz Carter to take out Hank (Guam is tipping) Johnson, but the R turnout is better in the 8th than in the 4th. The R turnout in the 13th was also up. I’d like to see Honeycutt win the runoff against Crane and see her defeat David Scott. I’d also like Austin Scott to defeat Jim Marshall.
