The Georgia Race is still on its way to the starting gate. You still have time to vote.
So, for whom and what do you want to bet?
1D and 1R?
2D and 0R?
2R and 0D?
If a split bet for you, who is the D winner?
Things to think about:
Georgia is still a conservative state and Trump is not on the ballot. That might allow some disaffected Rs to vote straight R this go-round.
Georgia's D voters are EMPOWERED and Jazzed. There could be a presidential-level turnout.
Some Biden voters could be disaffected GOPers. What will they do? Will they go back to voting R or will they want to see Biden get his agenda done by voting for a D Senate?
Gajillions of dollars are pouring in already. Will it affect the vote?
Who has the better ground game?
Are there enough D voters to overcome any defection of GOP Biden voters?
So step right up to the window and PLACE YOUR BETS.

(10,266 posts)If I had to bet I'd say it will be a split. True theres lots of dem enthusiasm that WILL drive turnout. But this is about who controls most of the government, and McConnell will not be deposed of his Leadership so easily as I'd like to think.

(12,568 posts)They're also convinced that voting doesn't matter anyway -- the vote is rigged otherwise Trump would have won. They know that because Fat Donnie told them so over and over and over again. Meanwhile, the Dems will grab the chance to have two senators, and GOTV bigly.
At least, that's what I hope will happen.

(10,266 posts)They're gonna show up to vote for Yertle keeping control of the levers of power. Wont matter who's running the WH and it matters not that Nancy's gonna keep passing good legislation..
As long as Mitch has the federal system by the balls so that nothing good can get done, thatll be enough to drive turnout on their end. McConnell is the leader of the REPUBLICAN Party now that trumps basically done, and even the MAGAts know this (even if they wont want to cop to it publicly), and they will do everything they can to keep that worthless ghoul in power.
