Nice that he lost. We need the left deep demoralized.

However, now we got the runoff. Get everyone out voting that you can.

Is he going to take credit if Ossoff wins in June?  The GOP circular firing squad got 51.02%.  It won't take many defections or otherwise manufactured votes to turn that around.

The top four candidates beat Ossoff by 200 votes.  It looks like the democRATs are stuck at 48% in GA-6.

I don't know much about Karen Handel, but she referred to herself as an "independent conservative."  We might have another Ted Cruz in the making.

So far ... she was Georgia's first elected Republican Secretary of State....

Agreed.  51.02% doesn't leave a huge margin of error, especially in such a red state.  If I were the GOP I would still be demanding an investigation of the stolen voting machines.

If she sounds a lot like Ted Cruz a lot of Trump cult members would stay home

Ted Cruz?  No.  But she definitely is no daring of the State GOPe, so that is definitely a plus.

The one good think I can say about Karen Handel is that she was a Republican back in the 70s when every one of these other state GOP politicians were still Democrats.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
