A seminar in debate tactics:

1. Stand there like a statue with your fingers in your ears going "La-la-la, I don't hear you!!!!!!"

or:

2. Shouting throughout your opponent's allotted time and making faces, rolling eyes, and attacking the moderator.

DAYUM, these RepubliCons can do it all!!

Ossoff crushed him, but Ossoff is not a native Georgian, and good ol' boys may not be willing or able to recognize what a soul-less bugger they support, and they may not like someone non-antebellum telling them about it.

I shouldn't stereotype ... just wondering out loud if he can break past 50% or if there's too much resistance.

such an effective debater. They didn't bother show Purdue's rebuttal given he couldn't come up with one

I'm watching him on Lawrence Odonnell now - so impressed with what a decent and brilliant young man that he is, and so glad he's our candidate. He'll kick butt in the senate. Godwilling he will hold on to his lead on Tuesday. Georgians please vote him in!!

But I donated to his campaign. It will probably be my final donation this cycle.
