It's important that we not let Benedict Donald's "suspend the Constitution" post go unnoticed. If something like that doesn't get pushback, it festers and becomes destructive. While we're glad that the stupid hosts of the equally stupid Sunday shows pressed Republicans on it today, more condemnation needs to happen. Otherwise, therein lies the road to perdition.
On a brighter note, though, let's remember that Tuesday is the runoff in the Georgia Senate race. Senator Raphael Warnock is pitted against an utterly unqualified and embarrassing GOP candidate for whom a good number of Republicans will vote. The question is, how many? And when we ask that, we're talking about white voters — not African-Americans, who turned out in massive numbers in the early vote.
It always boils down to the whites. That's because Georgia is a swing state, which means the Senate race, while it should be a cakewalk for Warnock, was always going to be close. One to four points, we think — if we Democrats put in the work, and we're confident we will. But people need to recognize that it's the white vote that's going to send Herschel Walker either to the Senate or back to the oblivion where he belongs.
White voters went for Walker in the general election on November 8. Will they be moved to turn out and vote for that same embarrassing candidate when control of the Senate is moot? We think not. But Black Warnock supporters are still mightily energized. So we think that will determine the winner on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Warnock and his BFF Senator Jon Ossoff have been campaigning together, and it is a heartwarming sight to see. If you have any time tomorrow to phone bank or text bank remotely, please do it. Otherwise, a last-minute dollar contribution to Warnock's campaign would help in the last lap of GOTV. We cats PURR.
