I have mentioned before that I keep a running list of people in GA who make me proud.

[TNNurse]

I grew up there and cast my first vote as a colllege student on an absentee GA ballot.

Usually, Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King, jr are at the top of the list. John Lewis has been there, as well as Sally Yates, I vary it depending on events.

TODAY and for quite awhile, STACEY ABRAMS TOPS THE LIST. I do not think Jimmy or Martin would object.

1. I feel that I have to publicly eat a little shit

I was talking to people on Tuesday and was saying I was pissed at Beto, Stacy and Sharrod Brown for creating false hope and dragging money and campaign components away from where we had a chance to win and where we needed to win.

On Stacy I was wrong. no matter how this turns out in GA and it looks good now, Stacy did an amazing job of reregistering those who were purged in her election, registering other first time voters and motivating everyone to then get out and VOTE.

Great job Stacy and the Georgia Democratic community

2. A true hero of this election

800,000 NEW VOTERS thanks to Stacey. And she did it after getting jobbed in her election.

from a Vogue article:
"According to an Associated Press investigation on the eve of the election, Kemp, then Georgia’s secretary of state, mass-canceled more than a million voter registrations between 2012 and 2018, and in the run-up to the tight gubernatorial race, froze an estimated 53,000 registrations, a majority of them belonging to African American voters.

When Abrams lost by just shy of 55,000 votes, she told Vogue: “I sat shiva for 10 days. Then I started plotting.”

3. Agreed. She is a POWERHOUSE,

an electrifying speaker, and an inspiration to millions. Also brilliant, very funny, and cool.

I’m glad we have her as one of our leaders. And in Georgia, THE leader.
