With all the other freaky Senate races happening, the Georgia race isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This is an opportunity to win a seat—not just hold one, but actually take one away from a smarmy little weasel of an incumbent who shouldn’t be in office anyway. Democrats are running him as part of their Fake Moderate Strategy. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) is just a less masculine version of Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, and Republicans should be able to take back this seat in what is still a red-leaning state. But of course, being Republicans, they’ve screwed everything up early on. We still have a fighting chance, and at least one good candidate, but the GOP needs to get its act together. Yeah, I know you’re tired of hearing that.

This could’ve been an easy lay-up for outgoing GOP Governor Brian Kemp. He’s popular in the state, having defeated that fat communist lady whose name escapes me at the moment—you know, the chudette who insisted she won the governor’s race even though the state totally repudiated her and then she went on to guest star in a Star Trek episode set in an alternate timeline where there is no Ozempic? But Kemp has a problem, and that problem is his judgment. It sucks. First, he decided to get into a giant fight with Donald Trump over the 2020 election. Trump saw massive fraud and Kemp saw nothing, channeling Sergeant Schultz, just as many of these red-state Republicans do when faced with Democrat shenanigans. They hope that if they shut their eyes really tight and put their hands over their ears, all the difficult and challenging stuff in front of them will somehow go away.

He could’ve just walked into the Senate seat if he had decided to run. Winning that seat would completely change the dynamics of the Senate midterm races and pretty much make it impossible for the Democrats to win the Senate. And it was right there for the taking. He should’ve run. That’s what his party needed. That’s what his country needed. But that’s not what Kemp needed. No, Kemp listened to people telling him the lie that he could totally be president after being governor of Georgia, just like Jimmy Carter. OK, when someone’s telling you to channel that sanctimonious jerk—the idea that Jimmy Carter was some sort of humanitarian instead of a self-centered, Jew-hating, anti-American jackass is perhaps the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on humanity—you should immediately banish that person from your life. He’s not helping. So, instead of doing his duty, Kemp decided to follow the siren song of the presidency, because yeah, the GOP base is eager to have a president who won’t fight the Democrats when it gets hard and the media is watching.

He really thinks he’s got a shot. I don’t know what gets into these........
