Maybe Warnock wins, but Ossoff won't. We're going to have to hope that McConnell's health plunges, and fast. Otherwise it's roadblocks and a grim as hell slog to the 2022 midterms.

(15,599 posts)Loeffler had shown herself to be an unplesant reactionary carpetbagger, and Warnock was well respected by everyone but the wingnut racists and evangelicals.
Perdue is a good old boy, allbeit of the Country Club. GOP voters might be willing to hold their noses and vote for him either to ensure there's opposition to the Socialist Democrats or because they can't get themselves to vote for a Jew.
If Ossoff wins, it's a blow to the good old boy system.

Here's the story right now:
1. Black turnout looks, frankly, phenomenal.
2. Perdue/Loeffler are approaching Trump %s of the vote in a lot of deep red rural counties, but turnout there isn't anything special.
3. It's getting harder to see a path for either R, but esp. Loeffler.
