48% for the Dem is nothing to sneeze at. That he didn't win outright might be irrelevant.

Really? An 18 way race where only one candidate had $8+ million and Samuel Jackson cutting ads and all he could muster is a runoff? That is a GD disaster. In a 2 man race he is finished. Let's not forget it was just exposed this morning that he couldn't even vote for himself because he doesn't live there.

If Ossoff gets 50%: Trump will blame Georgia Republicans
If Ossoff gets 49%: Trump will take all the credit

If Ossoff wins, it will be because of two factors:

1.  The Democrats worked harder than the GOP.  I have had four visits to my door - three by Ossoff supporters, and one by supporters of David Abroms.  The Georgia GOP establishment could care less about what the actual voters think.

2.  Tom Price has been a lousy Rep.  He has been nothing more than a proxy vote for the House leadership for the last decade.

To be honest Beck is nothing but an entertainer..

Sure, but it's more than what she is.

Is that why he squeaked back into office last year by an extremely narrow 24 point win?

So Beck is not pure enough for those who eschew purity. That's pretty funny.

Well this douche Jerkoff spend $8.5 million and didn't break 50% so Price must have been really loved there to only have to spend a quarter of that and win by a mile.

UPDATE [4/18/17, 11:16 p.m. EST]:

Republican frontrunner Karen Handel is giving a speech at her camp. About Ossoff and possibility of a runoff, she said:

    “We have a lot of really hard work ahead of us, and it starts now, but friends we’ll celebrate a little tonight and then we need to consider that it just might be time to send another set of pearls to Washington. So let’s celebrate and get some sleep and hit the ground running tomorrow so on June 20th we keep the 6th District red and kick a little Ossoff.”

With 54% reporting, Ossoff is still at 50.3%

Handel has 18.1% (celebrating that number seems a bit wacky)

Did you find your way in here by accident trying to find a Frisbee golf forum? Ever hear of a jungle primary and why someone getting a small percentage in one party running against 17 other people can win a runoff by a mile?

If any other political mysteries get you confused, go wake up your mom to explain them to you before you expose yourself with a silly post.

UPDATE [4/18/17, 11:35 p.m. EST]:


According to CNN's Don Lemon, Fulton County, the last to be reported upon, is experiencing technical difficulties with their voting booths. Ossoff has yet to address supporters at his camp.

Apparently it will be very tough to avoid a run-off at this point.

CNN now "projects": There will be a runoff in June between Jon Ossoff and Karen Handel.

Ossoff is at 48.6% with 95% of the votes counted.
