Id love to see a breakdown of who voted Warnock/Perdue - eag Jan 5, 23:00 1
- The other variable is that Perdue had won a Senate election before and Loeffler was appointed. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 23:10
I'm sure this won't cause any manufactured controversy. Dekalb County encounters a technical issue and then Ossoff takes the lead. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 22:54
NBC call for Warnock -- (link) - ty97 Jan 5, 22:52
3560 -- nm - Spawn Jan 5, 22:50 3
- Is this a covid number or a vote lead? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 22:50 2
  - 3477! Did not update today. Will catch up tomorrow. -- nm - Spawn Jan 5, 23:02
  - Ossof (as expected) took the lead in the count -- (link) - ty97 Jan 5, 22:53
Can I please advance delete any hot takes from the next three days about the GOP is a dead party. - ty97 Jan 5, 22:37 11

- they appointed 2/3rds of the federal judiciary, one election away from retaking house and senate, Biden will be hobbled by recession... - zeitgeist Jan 5, 23:02
- there's no coming back from a 0.04% loss. dead dead dead. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 22:51 1
  - It's math. -- nm - David Jan 5, 23:11
- Oh, no. They're a cornered, wounded animal. Far from being dead; they're at their most dangerous, as recent history has shown. - Beryllium Jan 5, 22:42 4
  - They just had a huge schism in 2016 and they consolidated quite well by the general election. -- nm* - ty97 Jan 5, 22:47 3
    - True, but one can hope. Hope is not a hot take. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 22:49
    - What happened this time is different. I'm genuinely curious what happens next with moderate Republicans. -- nm - David Jan 5, 22:49 1
      - Yeah, I'm not predicting the future, and how the GOP will look going forward will certainly be an interesting thing for historians to watch -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 22:51
- my hot take will be that Super Bowl parties will be dead parties. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 22:40 1
  - I didn't mean ST posts, I mean all those opinion writers out there already drafting the copy -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 22:46
oh, well, if you put it that way -- (link) - ty97 Jan 5, 22:35 1
- What about all the other committees? What happens in *those* cases? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 22:35
Do Senators get Secret Service code names? Because Warlock would be pretty badass. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 22:29 1
- Warlock needs food, badly -- nm - Flavorize Jan 5, 22:30
Here's something, that I lifted (off a football version of ST), to help with the NFL Playoffs--Teams paths to the SB. Help ya decide who can get there -- (edited) - Flavorize Jan 5, 22:29
The GOP will make a stink about Osoff, refuse to seat him, challenge the vote in court, call the Georgia SOS. - Mop Jan 5, 22:12 3
- There’s absolutely a recount. That I’m confident about. We still need to see how close this winds up being. -- nm - pmb Jan 5, 22:31
- losing with grace isn't something Republicans do. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 22:19
- Because that has worked for them so well so far for Donny -- nm - eag Jan 5, 22:16
Wealthy donors received vaccines through Florida nursing home - ty97 Jan 5, 22:06 2
- Florida gonna Florida. I hope the Senate launches an investigation. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 22:13 1
  - Wait. Rich people are buying preferential treatment? I'm shocked. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 22:17
919 -- nm - Spawn Jan 5, 21:52
I know my hopes are selfish but I'm so hoping for reversals of policies on protection of Federal lands, endangered species, and clean air, etc. - Meg Jan 5, 21:43 3
- That crossed my mind earlier. So many environmental regulations to put back in place or expand -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 5, 22:00
- Damn your selfish desire to breath clean air! -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 21:47
- Word! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 5, 21:47
Assuming this holds, this is the happiest I’ve ever been to be wrong. -- nm - pmb Jan 5, 21:41 17

- This is pretty good— -- (link) - flavorize Jan 5, 21:58
- A lot of folks were, and I'm bringing up for a very specific reason. - David Jan 5, 21:43 [Backboard] 14
  - Ignoring what happened in November, this is a monumental shock. - Tim Jan 5, 22:06 4
    - Trump made it worse in Georgia. The phone call didn't help the perception that Trump was trying to steal their votes. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 22:15
    - (and since the Democrats should've gained House seats and barely hung onto the majority, they're huge underdogs for 2022.) -- nm - Tim Jan 5, 22:09 2
      - Maybe in November that was correct but Trump has split and fractured the Republican party between his cultist - eag Jan 5, 22:24
      - Well, they have just under two years to get shit done to earn more seats. - Beryllium Jan 5, 22:16
  - Things definitely turned around since then. Trump played it all wrong, AND the Dem turnout machine in GA did amazing. - ty97 Jan 5, 21:48 8
    - It's all thanks to JackDawson. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 22:20 1
      - He’ll drink to that. -- nm - Qale Jan 5, 22:32
    - Unless you believe that Trump did this intentionally - eag Jan 5, 21:54 2
      - There was no upside for him to help the GOP win, at the very least. - znufrii Jan 5, 22:00
      - I don't give him that much credit -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 21:58
    - I'm not picking at anyone. Tonight's a good night where we all celebrate. I'm merely requesting that people dial down the pessimism. - David Jan 5, 21:51 2
      - To the last sentence of your IM: why? - ty97 Jan 5, 21:55 1
        
        Because we learn from the past to anticipate the future. -- nm - David Jan 5, 22:20
maybe now Ossoff can focus on the important issues -- (link) - mafic Jan 5, 21:33
I'm not joking that I'm about to cry tears of joy. I didn't think the dems had any chance to win this and I've never been happier to be wrong. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 5, 21:31 1
- Thank 45 for that - eag Jan 5, 21:40
Oh, to be a fly on Mitch's wall tonight. -- nm - TWuG Jan 5, 21:29 4
- Does it still have to be attached to Pence? -- nm - Qale Jan 5, 21:37
- Question is does he now allow a vote on the extra stimulus knowing full well that its gonna come to a vote and pass after the 20th -- nm - eag Jan 5, 21:37 2
  - No -- nm - TWuG Jan 5, 21:41 1
    - And only to spite Donny especially now -- nm - eag Jan 5, 21:43
STOP THE COUNT -- nm - 45 Jan 5, 21:20 5
- too late, loser -- nm - mud Jan 5, 21:21 4
  - baskets of deplorable votes! -- nm - 45 Jan 5, 21:23 3
    - Free and fair DEMOCRATIC election? See, RIGGED! -- nm - 45 Jan 5, 21:26 2
      - I've seen enough. - mud Jan 5, 21:33 1
        
        You are gonna miss it! -- nm - 45 Jan 5, 21:35
NYT: There are 93,000 votes left to count and that Warnock's and Ossoff's estimated shares of those uncounted votes will be 77%. -- (link) - budice Jan 5, 21:19 3
- Math is hard. - znufrii Jan 5, 21:22 1
  - I was wondering about that -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 21:22
- whoa -- nm - mud Jan 5, 21:19
ST NFL quiz: QB Comp% and On-Target% on deep passes (20+ air yards )in 2020, min 20 attempts—who do you think is # 1? -- nm - flavorize Jan 5, 21:17 13
- Phone is dying—so here’s the answer - flavorize Jan 5, 21:55 [Attachment]
- Sam Darnold, of course. Jets Dynasty! -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 5, 21:34 7
  - 14th...bad news is Daniel Jones is above him (but not #1) -- nm - flavorize Jan 5, 21:47 6
    - I want a recount! -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 5, 22:01 5
      - If it helps his on target is above Dak, Josh Allen and Matt Ryan. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 22:10 4
        
        I am completely joking. I know his completion percentage is poor and it's not just because he has a weak line and limited passing options. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 5, 22:13 3
        
        I say that about the wrs because of the notable discrepancy between on target and completion percentages. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 22:19 1
        
        He has fixable issues but he didn't progress at all and if anything regressed. Here's the Jets joke, it's from SNL... -- (link) - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 5, 22:30 [youtube]
        
        They never built around Darnold, never had great weapons. The good news is they have some nice draft capital, which could help lure a good coach. - Flavorize Jan 5, 22:18
- Kirk Cousins -- nm - David Jan 5, 21:19 3
  - He’s 4th! Nice guess -- nm - flavorize Jan 5, 21:20 2
    - I figure it must be somebody weird for you to bring it up. -- nm - David Jan 5, 21:23 1
      - Yep—weird is good. Related: Spawn said, a couple day ago, that I should make these quizzes instead of just giving out the goods. -- nm - flavorize Jan 5, 21:25
It's not rocket science, people. -- (link) - David Jan 5, 21:17
How worried should I be about the rest of the year to come, as the first week of 2021 has been pretty awesome so far? -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 21:08 3
- No, see, your bar has been set so low by 2020 that you *think* that 2021 has been "awesome". The true awesomeness of 2021 has not yet manifested itself. -- nm* - Mop Jan 5, 23:03
- Well, depends...How many more DCEU movies are set to be released? -- nm - flavorize Jan 5, 21:19
- There is still tomorrow -- nm - eag Jan 5, 21:09

- Let's take this opportunity to think about the fable of the scorpion and the frog. -- nm - David Jan 5, 21:03 1
  - Oh let me guess who the Scorpion is - eag Jan 5, 21:09
Root Sports is playing Australian Baseball League. I think I’ll obsess about this for a change. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 20:54 7
- What's Root Sports? A channel? -- nm - Krusty Jan 5, 21:20 2
  - It's an RSN in the Northwest affiliated with AT&T SportsNet -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 22:24 1

There’s a significant amount of Proud Boys still marching here and causing drama -- nm - MDH Jan 5, 20:48 7

- They are...not very good at this protesting thing -- (link) - flavorize Jan 5, 20:55 4

Ossoff now within 400 votes. Warnock +34k. -- nm* - znufrii Jan 5, 20:39
I keep thinking he's saying "the mayo vote". -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 20:28
This. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 5, 20:28 2
- I hear "I've seen enough" in this voice. -- (link) - David Jan 5, 20:32 [youtube] 1
  - Lol -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 20:34
I really can’t handle this. I need to just go to bed. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 5, 20:24
please link me to the "THIS IS NOT MY FAULT" tweet if it happens. TIA -- nm - crash davis Jan 5, 20:22 1
- will it be Bacon's fault? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 20:46
Two tweets to summarize where we are. -- (link) - David Jan 5, 20:20 6
- And... -- (link) - David Jan 5, 20:20 5
  - Where's the meter reading for "indubitably" -- nm - Max Jan 5, 21:24
  - Ossoff now >95% chance as well, despite trailing by 15k in the current count. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 20:23 2
    - DeKalb County remaining are 20k early votes -- nm - budice Jan 5, 20:27 1
      - Yep and there are probably about 25k votes in blue counties around it where Osoff is winning 6 in 10 or 7 in 10 votes -- nm - eag Jan 5, 20:30
  - (sigh) .. :-) -- nm - mud Jan 5, 20:22
