Turning out Democrats and Independents in over whelming numbers will be required in order to defeat Republican voter suppression efforts in Georgia.

Walker rec'd only 84% of GOP votes in this poll.

It will be neck and neck.

but they are and that'll continue.

Basically the opposite for Senator Warnock, though. There are a few who aren't locked in or to be encouraged to turn out.

When several potentially vulnerable Democratic senators survived due to the loony candidates the Republicans fielded. (Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin in Missouri, and Sharron Angle in Nevada.

I feel like Warnock would normally be in serious trouble in a reddish swing state in a bad year for Dems, but Walker may just be the best person to lose this for the Republicans.

He's easily one of the dumbest aspirants to public office I've ever seen.

He'll do anything to avoid a direct comparison.

And those bonds have long been stronger in Southern culture than in many other regions. The brand loyalty of Southerners has long been an understood quality in marketing.
