(7,469 posts)That said, Loeffler and Perdue are uniquely vulnerable on this election "controversy".
Let's break it down. The majority of Georgians voted for Biden in a historic flipping of the state. I'm sure 100% of that group wants their vote to be certified, the disputed election charade to end, and for politicians to move forward with the transition. Now I believe a minority of Trump voters are also joining these ranks, possibly a third of them. So that constitutes the vast majority of Georgians who want to move forward. Yet Loeffler is standing with the minority obstructionist group with her indecisiveness and shoulder shrugs.
I'm sure Loeffler has better political instincts than I do, and she has calculated that this is the right move. She'd like to disappear in a crowd of other like-minded Republican Senators and wait for it all to blow over. However, she and Perdue are in a position to be held to account in January unlike the rest. I say hold them to account. I say maximize the political damage and minimize any advantages.
If Warnock can bring up her possibly out-of-bounds personal finances, he surely can broach this entirely in-bounds subject in a respectful way.
Has Warnock's campaign even had this conversation? I'm not confident they have, it certainly didn't show.
Warnock was good, I'll give him that. But he wasn't great in my opinion.
