1. Any ideas who the Georgia GOP will put up as a candidate?

[Ilsa]

3. Probably Doug Collins, if he wants it. nt

7. Uggh. A truly detestable cretin.

[LakeArenal]

2. Ahhh loser stink is starting to permeate their dense brains.

[dubyadiprecession]

4. The sting of losing was too much for him.

Why should he put himself, through Hell again?

[AZ8theist]

5. This asshat can't stop lying even in this letter...

"The more Georgians that vote, the better Republicans do..."

If that were true, he'd still be in the Senate.

[hlthe2b]

6. That was fast. Didn't he say the reverse just days ago?

[yellowcanine]

8. "Guess you could say that Purdue ... chickened out."

[Maru Kitteh]

9. Still mad?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

10. They just won't give up with this 'illegal votes' bullshit ...

They have ZERO evidence of 'illegal votes' but they're going to keep spewing this crap cause they know it's the ONLY CHANCE they have is voter suppression.

"The more Georgians that vote the better Republicans do"

[Walleye]

11. Really. I've never heard of an illegal voter before this year, have you?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. Sure, they've been accusing undocumented people of voting for decades ...

With very little evidence that it happens in any significant numbers.

But the 'illegal votes' thing feels like a new angle.

They're like trying to spin the votes themselves as being illegal, not (only) the people who cast them.

They want to focus on the technicalities of the process and disenfranchise that way.

[Walleye]

14. Yes.It sounds like the voters are illegal. The votes were cast in good faith, count them.

[Oldem]

18. "The more Georgians vote...." Then why doesn't he run?

A whole lot of Georgians voted last time, and he lost the race, his credibility--if he had any--and his giblets. Methinks, he doesn't want to run against Sen. Warnock's coalition. So "personal reasons" it is, Davey. Yeah, right.

[Hoyt]

13. There are plenty of GOPer candidates just a bad as, probably worse than, Perdue.

[In It to Win It]

15. Great. Give us your shittiest Republican

[Qutzupalotl]

16. "Maybe I can say out of prison if I keep my head down."

That's not how it works, David.

[JackSabbath]

17. Well... a senate term is SIX years

So what's this about 2022?

[MagickMuffin]

19. 'do not represent the "values" of a majority of Georgians'

Dude your party doesn't have any values, that is just your pony whistle.

We see thru it though. 'Will correct the "inequalities" in our state laws and election rules' to make sure only White people can vote and NOT any other color. We be like no colored person can vote, we can't have that or we would see our state is not red.


You'll be seeing red when the state turns blue.

20. Ya you betcha!

Big chicken!

21. It wouldn't have been a rematch.

He would have been running against Raphael Warnock in 2022, arguably the stronger of Georgia's two incumbent Democratic Senators.

[Hortensis]

24. Yes. Shame that Warnock must run again in the midterms,

but at least those who admire him should be turning out for him big time. The only Republican names I've heard so far are Loeffler and Doug Collins. Not sure that many admire either.

In any case, it's going to be another nail-biter with huge stakes. Warnock does a really good job of looking like the America most people want.

[FlyingPiggy]

22. I'm not surprised he doesn't want to run against Ossoff again.

Jon wiped the floor w him in the debate. As for Warnock, I bet the internals showed the sleeping giant in GA has fully awakened.

[BlueStater]

25. Ossoff isn't up until 2026.

Warnock is up next year, but I doubt Perdue could beat him. Between the racism, corruption, and just how pathetic he looked in his debate with Ossoff, he simply isn’t a strong candidate.

[FlyingPiggy]

26. Totally agree. He's a terrible candidate that has far exceeded his expiration date

[ZonkerHarris]

23. He wants to spend more time with his Ku Klux Klan family
