“She purchased that (Senate) seat,” Warnock said. “It’s done well for her. The issue is that the people who sold it to her don’t own it.” -Rev. Raphael Warnock, Atlanta Press Club debate, Dec. 6

How is it that more advertising wins an election, if the poor candidate is better and honest?

Money helps, but it has its limits. Just ask Hillary; she outspent Trump something like 2:1.

There is a simple solution, limit what one can spend on elections, with different types of races having different caps.
It would at least reduce some of the insanity, the amounts being spent theses days is disgusting.

Loeffler was appointed to her seat in the Senate.

Brian Kemp, the Republican Governor of Georgia, appointed Loeffler to the Senate in December 2019 after Republican Senator Johnny Isakson resigned for health reasons. Loeffler is running in the 2020 Georgia U.S. Senate special election, the winner of which will hold the Senate seat until January 3, 2023.

If was an appointed position thats how. Kemp is known to play dirty and not care about conflicts of interest.

We certainly do. I worked dishwashing at CiCi’s before.

He was referring to her appointment to the Senate by a corrupt governor, which does appear to have been bought.

MN, NC, and MI would have had Senate runoffs with the 50% plus one Georgia runoff law. These two GA runoffs will have frozen DC for 2+ months.

Yes. Think Loeffler may have shared some of her insider trading knowledge on COVID to Kemp? Same with Perdue. Mitch wanted Loeffler’s

I mean if we include mainstream media coverage that obviously favors one candidate as spending or spending in kind I would agree to this.

do you think if we put 100 people in a room we could get them to agree on what coverage obviously favored one candidate or the other?
