(14,565 posts)I think Abrams would be way over her head.
Besides, that 2018 Georgia exit poll was devastating. A full 41% of the electorate said Abrams was too liberal for the state.
That is a surreal number, topped only by Andrew Gillum's 44% in Florida the same year. I am very glad that Gillum has subsequently imploded. He never should have been the nominee in the first place.
Once you get labeled as too liberal it is extremely difficult to shake. Given Biden's age we need somebody who can win terms on her own. Abrams is not the best choice for that given the 41% who reject her from the outset. No margin for error.
We will hear the socialism tag all over the place if Abrams is on the ticket.
Always be aware of the situational realities instead of merely thinking something sounds nice.
