GA runoffs

Odd, no?

Though she's the weaker candidate for sure. A billionaire's wife from out of state. That doesn't help. Bad retail politician.

She made some ham-fisted comments about the black church, which probably eroded the small gains the GOP had made among blacks in the last 4 years.

But I don't know how all that accounts for a 15k difference. Could also be some aversion to Jon Ossoff for whatever reason.

Pretty remarkable how creative we were stealing another couple of elections, isn't it? We changed it up from the November election when Trump's lead was huge and then evaporated.

This time we went from the Dems having a 9 percent lead which disappeared and then morphed into a deficit. Then Warnock roared back, Ossof a bit less so but may still win. Not to mention that we got the Republican guy who runs the elections in GA to blame Trump 100% for the (presumed) GOP Senate losses.

Gosh, we're amazing.

If the Democrats have successfully taken the presidency and the Senate, is there any reason for them to continue with the Covid hoax?

Heh.

I got a call from a friend yesterday. He called to tell me that his doctor told him the whole thing is a hoax, that they are classifying everything from a commmon cold to a broken leg as Covid to get more money (no info on where this money comes from or how much it is), that if you go to the hospital they will put you on a ventilator even if you are not sick, and I can't remember what all else. He's always been a little out there but this call was just nuts.

I told him he needs a new doctor.

When do Warnock and Ossoff get seated?

I assume that since the session has started and new members were seated on the 3rd, these two are full members as of today.

Does Raffensperger need to certify the election?

My aunt lives near Eastern Market. I can ask if she has a spare room one of them can stay in.
