(yes, I know she didn't singlehandedly deliver the presidency to Biden - hyperbole has its place ...)

KKKemp. They’d have partnered with Muslims, Communists, Somalia, Venezuela, Cuba,and god knows who else, to fight the liberals.

But, damn, she came within 50,000 votes.

But instead of setting off a never-ending fundraising pitch whining about how unfair life is and how those mean ol' Republicans cheated her, she got cracking for 2020. Georgia now has two Democratic Senators, Democrats swung the Senate, and Abrams can do whatever she wants for the 2022 cycle. Brian Kemp shouldn't get too comfortable.

Meanwhile, Needy Amin, convinced that he got jobbed in the 2020 election (he didn't), has spent the last two months crying like a baby to anyone who will listen (a surprisingly long list, starting with everyone drawing a paycheck at Fox) about how unfair life is for him. What are the Republican prospects in 2022? A whole lot worse than they appeared to be just 10 weeks ago. If Abrams offers her help to the Democratic National Committee, I hope they take it. The nation can use a lot more Stacy and a lot less Donald.

Especially at the national scale.

But she's too effective to be wasted on a governorship for long, although there is probably plenty she could improve in that particular state.

I believe she has a higher calling, though. Actually a second one, after turning the state blue.
