6. It'll be a runoff

Wed Nov 9, 2022, 10:36 AM

Nov 2022

And then it will be a question of which party fights hardest for it.

Can we count on Trump to screw it up this time, too? Or will he think his political fate somehow hinges on it this time? It would be close and risky, and Trump is risk averse. He wants guaranteed wins and Walker ain't that. A Walker loss if he puts his imprimatur on it would be another blow after last night.

It'll be interesting to see how Republicans react to a runoff.

Dec 6th.... IF Warnock does not squeak it out and at 49.42% with 95% vote counted, he still COULD hlthe2b Nov 2022 #1

Why would Warnock be the big favorite? honest.abe Nov 2022 #7

Warnock is a point ahead, the 3rd party is Libertarian, those people will stay home Johnny2X2X Nov 2022 #11

Ok that's sounds reasonable. honest.abe Nov 2022 #17

I think of Libertarians as Republicans who have developed greed to a professional level. albacore Nov 2022 #45

And we probably won't have Trump to upset the apple cart like 2020 exboyfil Nov 2022 #14

Hoping Warnock manages to squeak through with 50.1% lark Nov 2022 #4

He may eek it out. I believe the votes to come will favor Warnock about 2-1. nt Samrob Nov 2022 #29
