4. Saw it last night, an excellent ad. GOPers have been running some tough criticism of Ossoff too.

There is one ad where a number of Californians, including Pelosi, are shown with the inference that Ossoff is supported by liberals and left wingers, not the ignorant white wingers representative of the District.

I'm hopeful for Ossoff, but cannot throw the fact that this district overwhelmingly elected Newt Gingrich and Tommy Price going back a number of years.

Mr. Ossoff's chances might be better now than they would have been twenty five years ago. GA-6's voters aren't quite so Lily-white as they were back when it was Newt's seat.

Districts do change. Out in California, Bob Dornan's district seemed solidly Republican and a safe place from which to bait Latinos--until the voters replaced him with Loretta Sanchez.

Maybe touting Trumpcare might cause Handel to pay the Price. Heh-heh-heh

minority population. more than 30 percent are non white now . republicans still held on just because minorities and especially those who immigrated did not vote . but trump got people to pay attention and notice many of the young people supporting ossoff are young minorities. these are the kids of those immigrants and others who moved to the district .

and that's why trump won by so little and why ossoff is doing as well as he is.
