(16 posts)Many of you in red states appreciate how frustrating it is to vote election cycle after election cycle only to have your candidate lose. Until 2020, Democrats in Georgia hadn't won a statewide election since Governor Roy Barnes was elected in 1998. Finally, in 2020 democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won the senate runoffs in their races from Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. Loeffler had been appointed by Brian Kemp to hold that seat until the next scheduled election after Johnny Isakson resigned for health reasons. With so many candidates running in 2020 (20), though Warnock got the most votes (a plurality), no one got 50%+1 of the votes, which is Georgia law. In both the 2020 and 2022 elections, the spoiler in the general elections was the Libertarian candidate who got just enough votes to require a runoff. Ironically, because of the additional time and work by democratic activists between the elections and the runoffs, voter turnout was exceptional and we won all three statewide contests. Of course there were other factors, the most important being candidate quality, character and integrity (IMHO). We in Georgia now have two of the most qualified and productive senators in Congress. Even better, with the clear 51-49 majority in the senate, democrats can get even more done for the people who sent them there. Victory lap? Hell, yeah!

LyricsVideosListen
Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind)
I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
(A song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
