Tiberius Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 I think you'll find that Washington politics and presiding presidents have little to do with filling house seats. Local politics normally has a much greater impact in house elections. As usual, you have no clue

Nanker Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 But this isn't about "Trump and the Republicans", despite what the Democrat party and Hollywood celebrities are trying to make it into. That they're casting it that way shows the extent of their desperation to appear relevant at a time when they've lost nearly all their support outside of the east & west coasts and a handful of urban areas. I've done a bit of digging since my last post in this thread, and I've learned that the 6th district went over 60% for both Romney and McCain before him, so unless there's been a major shift in demographics in that district, they're not electing a Democrat for that seat, no matter what Samuel L Jackson says.
B-Man Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 GA6 is split this way - Fulton 116 precincts, Cobb 51, DeKalb 43 As expected early: Almost an hour in, and the early vote we have from DeKalb County is strong for Ossoff. He's at 71%, with Handel next at 11%, and Moody with 9%.
OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) GA6 is split this way - Fulton 116 precincts, Cobb 51, DeKalb 43 As expected early: Almost an hour in, and the early vote we have from DeKalb County is strong for Ossoff. He's at 71%, with Handel next at 11%, and Moody with 9%. That's changed. Ossoff down to 63% in 20 minutes since you posted this. With less than 1% in everywhere: http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/georgia-house-special-election-district-6 EDIT: Which is another way of saying: the dead/mentally incompetent have once again, amazingly, all voted Democrat using the early ballot tactic. Now that the "early" votes are in...just like always...watch Ossoff's numbers drop. Edited April 19, 2017 by OCinBuffalo
OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 4% reporting, and down to 60%. Yep, so far, the pattern is holding. It's really amazing, isn't it, that the early voting is so one-sided, and, when the election day votes come in, we go from 71 to 60 in under and hour. 11 points. Amazing.

OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 32% in and he's at 53.9. That's just embarrassing for the early vote people. In fact, with 67% of the vote in, in a county Hillary won w/ 57%, he's now at 58.5. The county that Trump dominated is only 37% in. I'm calling this one right now: runoff in June.

OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 All those shiftless voters got herded to the polls today, it looks like. Well, if you were following the NYT times crack crew of analysts live blog? They were all hoping that the Braves game and the bad highways would either keep the turnout down, or up, I don't know: they are pretty incoherent. One thing they do seem to agree on is: the Progressive base's insistence on fighting every race, everywhere, is going to waste millions on unwinnable races, and the DNC can't do much to stop it. As one of the Federalist guy's said here : Maybe they’ll find some support, but their progressive message is likely to resonate only with whatever socialists they find in Utah or transgender activists they find in Nebraska. Maybe that will revive their electoral ambitions for the 2018 midterms. Maybe they’ll run on that. Let’s hope they do.
boyst Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 No, you insufferable twat. I said "I think there's a slight chance he even gets the 50% today." It's funny how you talk about precision in words typed and about feelings. It's clear to me that you are projecting. You've shown yourself to be careless with words and their meanings and the fact that you are always looking for a fight indicates that you have some emotional problems as well. What are you really afraid of? it's frustrating when you're lumping tasker in with all of the folks at ppp. but in any sake, you have taken the wrong approach here. you went 0-45 in 2 seconds. there was no need for that. don't bring emotions or egos to ppp if you're easily offended or hurt. too many idiots like myself to mock it
B-Man Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) With 50 percent of precincts in, Ossoff is at 50% Candidate ..................Percent.... Votes Jon Ossoff (Democratic) 50.1% 67,784 Karen Handel (Republican) 18.2% 24,655 Judson Hill (Republican) 10.0% 13,544 Bob Gray (Republican) 9.7% 13,056 Edited April 19, 2017 by B-Man
OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) With 100% of Dekalb County in, which Hillary won win 57%...this Ossoff ends up with 58.6. Hillary still lost this district, and Mike Pompeo won the seat last time, with that 57% in Dekalb. So much for this being a devastating day for Trump, or really, having anything to do with Trump at all. Edited April 19, 2017 by OCinBuffalo

OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Let the idiocy commence: Alex Burns Political Reporter10:18 PM ET You already have Markos Moulitsas, the Daily Kos founder who was a major force in directing small donations to Ossoff, declaring open season on “over 100 Republican seats” based on the results Not sure why anyone at the NRCC would be celebrating. That’s a TWENTY POINT swing. That puts over 100 Republican seats in play next year. https://t.co/2EYycGOsJn — Markos Moulitsas on Twitter (markos) Oh please, by all that is Holy and right, please let Daily Kos and Move On and George Soros throw money at races like this one. They actually think that this proves something...in a race with 1 D and 11 Rs. Speaking of "If you want something done right, put the far left in charge of doing the opposite" anybody see this: Tom Reed Turns Town Hall Turmoil into Record Haul He raised $585,282 based on nothing more than backlash against these far left buffoons. He now has 2x the cash of any other Rep in upstate NY, ready for 2018, and it's only the first quarter. Great planning fellas. Even better execution. By all means Daily Kos guy "go get em!" :lol: Edited April 19, 2017 by OCinBuffalo
B-Man Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Does anyone think that your average Democrat House candidate in 2018 will have a 10-1 money advantage like Ossoff did? I don't.
boyst Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Great job. Thanks. i'm actually trying to be nice. the members of this board cannibalize each other often because despite the belief they're all right wing limbaugh lovers they're not when you open like a politician, throw in there a few reasons why but make sure it's not pathetic. "i like w. bush because he killed sadam." "i dislike bush because he sent us to war with iraq!" those are both wildly exaggerted and not true thats the line you have to toe here for respect if you want it.
OCinBuffalo Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Does anyone think that your average Democrat House candidate in 2018 will have a 10-1 money advantage like Ossoff did? I don't. Well, if the Daily Kos is on the job, the average D House candidate will have...exactly half the money the R candidate does. Or, they will ensure that every D candidate gets the same $, not matter how unlikely they are to win, which means millions will be wasted, and, the backlash that they create will ensure an R House in 2018, 2020 and beyond. But, remember Napoleon: "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".
