Consider This - Re: Herschel

[TlalocW]

Warnock is now 12 points ahead. All or almost all of that is from Herschel dropping due to the abortion thing. The republican machine and the professional Christians at all levels are desperately trying to make it out to be no big deal and convince their voters to stick with him, but generations of those same professional Christians telling those same voters that abortion is murder; it's the worse sin out there; etc. has taken its toll. A month of trying to convince voters that THIS abortion shouldn't matter isn't going to erase decades of religious indoctrination.

They may not switch their votes to Warnock because he's pro-choice, but I bet at some cognitive level, they feel actually being part of an abortion being performed is something else they can't get over so they're going to sit out that particular election.

So in a way, republicans and their professional Christians have screwed themselves, and it's schadenfreundely delicious.

The question is whether they will learn from it and actually really vet their future candidates.

2. Abrams should tie herself to Warnock.

3. Is this now out because republicans were spreading it around Georgia during the primary

run? Pretty sweet if that's where it all came from to start.

4. They really need to push the fact that Warnock is the minister of Dr. King's church.

One of the things they are saying is how great a Christian that Hershal is - well Warnock is way "better," but the people need to be reminded of this.

5. abortion, lying, hypocrisy... only wrong when Democrats do it.

It's a really interesting brand of Christianity they have going there--the one where they want to force a religious ideology on everyone when they're not prepared to follow it themselves.

7. Is there new polling

that's great if Warnock is 12 points ahead. Walker is a disaster. Hopefully people who would have supported him stay home and don't vote for kemp, too.
