    Then too, there are those "seasoned veterans" like Collins and Romney. They may as well be on the Dem payroll.

    Walker's candidacy will be interesting.

    What's there to win here? Walker is an unproven commodity and I'm paying little attention in the way-to-early-to-talk-about-it run for a Senate election 14 months away. And the only reason he's in the race is because trump blathered is name around and I'd rather not have him screw over our state again. Warnock for two years is bad enough; Warnock for 8 years is going to be worse.

    It's not the best batch of candidates so far IMO. No names really stand out.

    I wouldn't take the over that he's still in come primary day but then again I would have lost the same bet that he'd be in the race in the first place.

    Obviously you are paying attention to have such a strong opinion about Walker. And, not paying attention early is how idiots get elected.

    My strong opinion is that he has no experience and barely lives in GA. The current idiots I place at trump's feet and to a lesser extent Kemp's and not vetting Loeffler a bit more thoroughly. She needed a better campaign manager.

    I'm worried about people who don't live, and people who barely live, in GA screwing up another election.

    Seems like your more worried about dissing someone than finding a candidate that appeals to you and educating us on their qualities.

    Is always easier to diss opponents than support your choice.

    I get it. You don't like Hershel for a myriad of reasons. No need to continue with your concerns. I totally understand.

    Looking forward to hearing about the person you choose to support.
