This Georgia Democrat is one of the lousiest in the House and may get a primary

GA-13: Georgia Rep. David Scott has long been one of the lousiest Democrats in the House, and he may be in for a primary challenge in his safely blue suburban Atlanta seat. Michael Owens, who is stepping down as chair of the Cobb County Democratic Party later this month, said last week he was "strongly considering" a bid against Scott.

Owens opposed Scott once before, in 2014, but he raised very little money and ultimately lost by a lopsided 82-18 margin. Owens took over as chair of the Cobb County Democrats in November 2016 ahead of a very successful cycle for Team Blue in this ancestrally red county, so if he runs again, he may earn more notice. The Democratic base has also grown much less tolerant of wayward members in recent years.

That’s bad news for Scott, who is as shabby as they come. In 2016, he endorsed Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson‘s bid for re-election, declaring of his home-state senator, "He’s my friend. He’s my partner. And I always look out for my partners." Later that year, Scott donated $1,000 to Utah Rep. Mia Love, a Republican who at the time was in a competitive contest. Both Republicans won and spent the next two years loyally voting to for Donald Trump’s agenda; Love finally went down in defeat in 2018, but Isakson isn’t up again until 2022.

1. And then there's Virginia's Joe Manchin.

I understand the dynamic. He’s in a very Republican State and had to tow the line very carefully, but in my opinion, he’s more purple than blue.

2. Joe is the Senator from West Virgina, not Virginia.
