Georgia's 6th - Ossof v. Handel. - Page 16 - Politics and Economics

I didn't mean it was going to be a huge margin, just that multiple signals were all pointing in the direction of a Handel win. Need to check with my sister and BIL to see if they voted.

The shooting was a boost to Handel at the last minute, I wonder if it swung it? That ad was vicious bull****, but I guarantee you it gained votes for the GOP.

Prediction markets have Handel as an 82 percent favorite. I agree that she’s in the better position, but that seems like an overconfident forecast given the data we have so far. The New York Times’s forecasting meter/model suggests that Handel is only a slight favorite, while Politico now has Ossoff running a little ahead of where he’d need to be in fully reported precincts (although there are very few precincts fully in). Again, I’d rather be Handel, but it’s very early.

Though this guy does seem to be very optimistic every update

Ossof stock collapsing on Predictit. I put some money on Handel as a life hedge, still feel a little scuzzy.

Meh, I doubt it. 330,000 people voted eight months ago for this seat and gave it to Tom Price by 62/38. Hillary Clinton got 47 points apparently out of disdain for Trump (who still got more). At the end of the day, what do you expect? There are prob under 450,000 registered voters in the district. Where are these Dem voters supposed to come from?

yeah just thinking Trump is grotesque isn't gonna be enough to win house seats in red districts

End of the day people don't really hate him or are lukewarm towards him for his policies, they hate him because he acts like a total moron and could potentially disrupt their nice suburban lives. If you're doing well you don't want a disruption like Trump, doesn't mean your gonna just start voting for a different party.

Even a 0 like Handel can find ways to navigate that.

LOL #SC05 is going to be a better moral victory than that Ossoff dipstick and we spent like 40 bucks and some gift cards there.

Disband the DCCC. Fire Tom Perez.

I don't think any mail in ballots have been counted yet. Not saying Handel isn't a favorite, just that there is still uncertainty.

South Carolina guy gonna lose by less of a % than Ossoff lmao

Wow a poll had a dem as favored but that turned out not to be the case, haven't seen that before. It's a real shocker.
