Kemp Up By A Whopping 1.4%
Does anyone still doubt November’s election will be a nailbiter?
If so the latest AJC/WSB poll should put that to bed.
From the AJC writeup:
The poll showed Kemp ahead of Abrams 47.7 percent to 46.3 percent, a statistically insignificant difference within the poll’s 2.8 percentage point margin of error. Libertarian Ted Metz had 2.3 percent of support, and a slim 4 percent of voters are undecided.
…
Republicans were likely to cheer the rising approval rating for President Donald Trump, which has edged up roughly 4 percentage points since the September poll, settling at 46.6 percent. His disapproval rating remains steady at about 50 percent.
And Democrats could point to Abrams’ strength among both independents and her party’s core supporters — both groups that she needs to rally to win the race. Her strategy depends on expanding the state’s electorate to capture left-leaning voters who often skip midterms.

I have switched my prediction of Kemp winning to now Abrams winning. Kavanaugh has lit a fire under women to vote against any Trump apologist and Kemp is having traitor tot campaign for him.
Caroline, I will make you a friendly wager Abrams loses. It is not because she is black or female. It is because she is one word. L I B E R A L. A radical sandblasting liberal at that.
GA is not ready for that. Maybe San Fran. Not being ugly.
Yes, I am quite sure the defenders of the Lost Cause myth are not going to vote for Stacy Abrams. And there are people who will not vote for her because of her skin color and the fact that she’s a woman. If you don’t realize that you don’t know much about Georgia. I mean evangelical women won’t vote for any woman because they don’t believe women should be in any leadership roles. You want to dumb it down to being liberal. Y’all have been screaming nothing else for decades now. Get some new talking points.
Evangelical women that think women should just be subservient …per Caroline …does anyone on this blog know ANY female that fits that description ? I Don’t ! And I even go to church once in a while!
Another liberal straw man! Can we all recalls what the Hikdabeast said about you women!? It was stunning! Your hero said this and even Trump is not stupid enough to say it or believe it!
You women were too stupid enough to vote your own conscience but only listened to your husband, bosses and sons told you to vote for!! Good lord what a chauvinist pig!!
No, dude evangelical women think they should be subsurvient because that is what they themselves say. You apparently have never listened to them talk.
The number of extreme Evangelicals who believe women are fully subservient to the point of doing everything their husbands tell them to do (including their vote) is a very small subset of the the Christian Right. Caroline does women in general a disservice to believe the majority of her sisters on the right are so week in mind, heart and belief that a husband’s command is going to make them do anything they themselves didn’t already planned to do because of their own belief system. The Bible might say women submit to their husbands, doesn’t mean they will do so…
I actually do know one (just one out of the many women I have meet in my almost half a century of life) who is as subservient as Caroline believes Evangelical women all must be. We had been friends since Kindergarten, and we would have lunch every few years when I was in Wisconsin. When she converted to her very small very strict church and married her current husband, he required I meet the two of them over diner instead of having lunch while he was at work. I was questioned on my faith, quizzed me on sections of the bible, my politic, my job, what I drank, any tattoos, even my dating habits. It was an enjoyable but extremely weird dinner. My pal’s hubby called me the next day, telling me that even though I was Catholic and had “unique ideas”, the Google search he did to check to see if I donated to any questionable members of the government (I don’t, I give to select charities and organizations), I was approved by her parents, and lead a moral, if slightly misguided life – I was not going to be a bad influence on his wife. Thus I would be allowed to interact with my pal, so long as I wear skirts instead of jeans when I visit his house (my pal owned the house out right before the marriage). As a side note, he said my modest top was very nice, and he commanded me to tell his wife where I got it so she could get one similar for his sister’s birthday next month.
So yes these women exist. BUT they are rare.
Well, Ellyn, where I get what I’m saying from is at one point in time I went to one of these churches that is pretty much what the majority said. One said if her huband told her to quit her job she would. Another said she can’t make decisions unless her husband okays it first. Personally I would find it hard to believe if I had not experienced it myself and was shocked at the fact that there are so many damaged women in the evangelical movement. Also listen to the leaders of the women’s evangelical movement and you get the same story.
What utter crap! The only women that are fired up are the ones who witnessed the Lib Assassination Attempt and are gonna vote Repub to punish the filth!!
Sorry but D numbers went up 10% while GOP numbers stayed the same. Also caused very bad numbers for the GOP with independents
https://morningconsult.com/2018/10/10/democrats-widen-generic-ballot-advantage-one-month-out-from-midterms/
Fake polls! Nothing more than a suppression effort!
Bless you Ellynn for enlightening Caroline.
I am from North GA and by gosh most women I know are what I call velvet hammers (that includes my wife!). They are nice on the outside but you are not going to tell them what the heck to do. They will knock you over the head with a hammer of sweetness! It aint happening.
I can no better control my wife and what she wants to do than I can my darn house cat! Man is she independent. I don’t mind admitting I wear the panties in the family at times—and they feel pretty good!
I have NEVER met one of those poor wallflowers Caroline is describing. It is a freaking liberal myth. I see the same liberal baloney when it prattles on about conservatives being racist.
I am sure there are some, but for crying out loud 99% of folks of any color just want a decent life, a decent job and an opportunity for their kids to do well.
Folks are so tired of this nonstop liberal labelling, race baiting and hating. It is always pit this group against that group. We are tired of hearing this bilge every election. Every conservative Supreme Court hearing and nonstop in the liberal press.
We are hearing NOTHING but this bilge in the midterms too. Try a new line. One based in a morsel of truth would be nice.
What is it with you and B constantly throwing out the “liar” label??
As I noted MR DTM, subservient women exist. It’s not a myth, but an over hyped tag line of a rare group of female members of the GOP.
In fact they are as rare as the all powerful ultra violent race baiting hate mongrel liberal folks (mainly women) taking over the world you clam are everywhere and out to get “us”. Your over generalization of the acts of the very rare extremely dangerous left leaning and most likely unstable individuals (like the man who shot a GOP congressman) due a disservice to your cause. The protestors of the last few months on the left are no different in tacit or anger then what was seen in town halls and congressional offices by activist screaming about death panels, Kenyan born terrorist, and forming lines of legally displayed guns holstered to their owners in front of democratic political events eight years ago. No one in the GOP seemed to mind the chanting and screaming in front of senators and congress members then. No one in the GOP at the last 3 years of Trump rallies seems to worried at Trump tell groups to hit counter protesters, or going off on the press pool like it’s the opening day of Reporter Season. A GOP senate candidate in 2010 suggests using “second amendment solutions” against the then current government has been come the moral equivalent in heckling public servant in public places. But God forbid a group of a dozen or so women should lawfully protest on a public side walk in front of Mitch’s house at 7:00 AM singing “what would do with a drunk justice… early in the morning” women are now out to ‘kill them’ where they live. A hundred women slow down Hatch’s walk to the elevator -we got ourselves a violent mob boys of misguided women, run for you’re LIVES – the horror!!!!
Your right DTM that 99% of American just want a decent life, a decent job, and if your lucky enough to be bless by children, to have them do well. What both you and Caroline seem to forget is although you might agree about the majority of things that achieve this, you both condemn each other for the differences on how to get there. You both go so overboard you both do not help your causes and you both need to start listening to each other instead of your tribes of anger lemmings
I’m off my soapbox.
I’m optimistic, but not there yet.
I am not as optimistic.
Republicans may be about to steal an election in Georgia
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/10/11/republicans-may-be-about-to-steal-an-election-in-georgia/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.fa87030a6d74
Well, I certainly wouldn’t put election stealing past them since stealing seems to be their stock in trade. They will give up on democracy before they will accept losing elections.
Stealing elections. Do I have to show you Obama’s video again about telling Trump to grow a pair of nuts, get some votes and quit sniveling? Anyone that thinks Russia has an impact on our elections is a dummy. Those are his words.
Now once she lost, its 2 years later and is still a pitiful sore loser, she still writes books about why she lost! I can tell her why she lost!
Now we are getting stories from the libs reasons Stacy will get drilled before this election even occurs….Get the votes and quit whining.
Now lets listen to the left complaining that maybe Trump will not accept the election loss if he loses! Man up Donald! Listen to the gracious loser Hillary! Does this total hypocrisy make anyone besides me sick?
Why don’t you guys grow a pair and quit making excuses.
An agenda of hate and virtually nothing to create growth is appalling. Vote for the mob if you like. I have no interest in it and I bet many others feel the same way.
Would anyone like to see the “secret” plan that Obama had to go after Trump is he did not accept the loss Its the same darn one they unleashed after he WAS ELECTED.
If conservatives lose, we don’t cry like babies. We go back to work, live our lives and don’t shadow folks or try to destroy them.
Does anyone remember when Ginsberg was elected to the Supreme Court? Did anyone try to destroy her? Did anyone say she was gang raping anyone? Guess was the vote was?
95-5. Yep conservatives voted overwhelming for her. You didn’t see the same dirty tricks. The same tricks you saw with Bork, Clarence Thomas has the unverified horse manure we were subjected to during this confirmation.
Liberals how can you possibly disagree with this? What does that say about the liberals?
My logic professor would have failed you and then had you ridden on a rail off of the campus. You’re actually Hassinger trolling us are you not?
That same thought had crossed my mind. No doubt a troll, free pass from board proprietors, apparently just for the hell of it. Nice break from work if the sameness doesn’t drive you crazy, plus you get to giggle a lot with friends.
DT, Aug. 1, 2016:
“I’m afraid the election’s going to be rigged. I have to be honest,” Trump told voters in Ohio, a crucial swing state.
So, just to be clear, you are being very critical of claims of rigged elections, when the man who gives you a woody has done the exact same thing.
And you actually used the word ‘hypocrisy’!
The difference was Trump was right! We was spied upon, lied about, leaked upon, the FBI,justice department and press were colluding and the extent it just coming out! Obama’s White House was involved and IRS was weaponized too. Do any of you wizards of smart want to be honest and agree with that?
That fact that Kemp has not resigned should be topic 1 in the debates. With no audit trails available we could better rely on handwritten ballots and indelibly inked thumbs like occupied Iraq.
Where is this “Myrtle’s” restaurant, again?
Google showed one in Gwinnett but it’s closed. There seems to be one in White, GA but it isn’t really a restaurant, more of a roadside stall.
I am interested to know where this is located.
Myrtle’s is actually a fake name, the names were changed to protect the innocent…Some conservatives might be afraid that you might bring a radical mob over and disrupt our lunch like they did poor ole Ted Cruz and Sarah Sanders. Would you be civil unlike many on the left?
Oh, fake. Color me surprised.
I thought you guys were bad asses who carry guns? Why would you be worried about a mob, just bring enough federal, right?
I don’t know if you have figured it out yet, but very few people actually like Ted Cruz. Like yourself, Ted Cruz is an big-time asshole, so I really could not care less what happened to him.
Matt, you if anyone knows what big time a–hole is, its you. Look in the mirror. I would figure once in a while you offer some comedic relief and show you actually have a personality.
You make yourself almost unlikable. No humor no nothing. Just sour all the time. Talking about the pot calling the kettle black.
Oh, the gang, most assuredly, ain’t fake!
Well now DT has a black friend too, so he doesn’t have to feel so bad about dissing Colin Kaepernick and ignoring criminal justice inequity.
Wishful thinking. Rural republicans are so fired up right now I think you are going to see record numbers. A lot of democrats are walking away and will either vote for Kemp or not come to the polls at all. The most vocal on a community fb group up here are woman and they are fired up and want every democrat out.
Don’t tell Carolina, Chef. She’ll get hives! Lol!
The walk away thing is a Russian narrative pushed on social media. All you are doing is proving that Russian propaganda works on conservatives but we already knew that. Sorry but “I know someone who does X” means exactly nothing.
Chef, Caroline is waiting for her husband, boss and sons to tell her who to vote for…like a good little Hillary supporter!!
That is what Hillary says goes on with most women!! I kid you not!
Can you see why the out of touch, untrustworthy Cretan lost a rigged election?! Had all of Washington colluding with her and still lost AGAIN!!
Caroline, what if your husband and boss tell you to vote for Kemp? You can go vote early with me and Noway on Monday!! We can make our friendly wager on the election then too if you like!
Dude, you are talking about conservative women not liberal women. I know you often get confused but please try to keep up.
You voting early, Carolina?
Yes, but I am going to go when there are more polling places open.
Chef, I am seeing the same disdain from women as well in north GA. They want nothing to do with the liberal hit job, the hatred and the nonsensical economic policies. They are pissed.
Like most normal people they don’t like seeing the nonstop lies, name-calling, people railroaded, lied about and intimidated. They don’t like the mob any more than most folks do.
I am not sure where they find women that are supporting the good Dr. Ford with the hazy memory other than the few that watch CNN and have those pink hat things….
“Like most normal people they don’t like seeing the nonstop lies, name-calling, people railroaded, lied about and intimidated. They don’t like the mob any more than most folks do”
That’s a good description of what the tea party did in 2010 at local congressional offices and town Halls. I think I’m going to steel this my super secret mod inciting blog. (eyeroll)
When conservatives lie it’s okay because it is lying for Jesus. When you understand that some of their nonsensical ramblings start to click.
Looks like the AJC agrees. This just out an hour ago. https://politics.myajc.com/blog/politics/white-women-voters-are-sticking-not-just-with-kemp-but-trump-too/tG6ypbHIcNNUJW2tL4MGYL/
Nobody is making the point that Trump isn’t keeping damaged women in his fold. The point is that Kavanaugh activated a lot of women who were not going to vote.
