Yeah, I'm in East Cobb, too, and didn't think Triebsch had much of a chance because of the makeup of the state Senate district.
One thing I find interesting just from an optics perspective is that Ossoff carries himself so much better than Handel. He repeats meaningless bull**** a lot ("I'll reach across the aisle" type of stuff), but he much less combative and much more professional-appearing than Handel. She constantly attacks him, even if a question she's asked doesn't lend itself to that (and there's virtually nothing to attack him on), whereas he tends to stick to talking about what he wants to accomplish.
And I don't know if it was a good move or not, but there was definitely a difference in optics between the two at a Memorial Day festival in Roswell when she campaigned the whole time and didn't campaign at all.
I wish he would stop wearing suits all the time, though. You're at an outdoor holiday festival - wear something more appropriate.
