5. Georgia here with black. woman. Democrat. within reach

of the governor's office. One for the history books in many ways.

Interestingly, although there are dirty, dishonest ads (they can't help themselves), it's looking like her being black is suppressing some lines of attack the way Barack Obama's did. Apparently they think seeming too racist could backfire on them. So she's left-wing extremist, for gun control, doesn't handle her money well, soft on child sex traffickers, all in that signature insinuatingly sneering, snide tone right-wing attack ads use. (And liberal/Democratic ads never do.)

The Republicans are being forced to prove their commitment to protecting Georgia values by attempting to steal the election with astonishing brazenness. The commitment to winning, at least, is a sign of the strong leadership that many conservative voters naturally approve, even if they don't like him.
