McKinney Losing

by Erick on August 4, 2006

Despite the Insider Advantage polling that showed large undecided in the McKinney-Johnson race, credible sources tell Peach Pundit (backing up a tip we got earlier today) that the Johnson internal polling shows Johnson with a 7% lead and only 7% undecided. Likewise, I’m told by two sources I consider reliable, that McKinney’s campaign is seeing similar results, which just might explain why she is lashing out at the world.

It will all be about turnout. Considering how many did not even vote in this district, it is hard to gauge the mood of the district. Among those who didn’t vote, there is about a 17 to 1 advantage to Dems over Republicans. These are consistent partisans. So the crossover could help but not overwhelmingly.

My fear is that Johnson has basically been connected close enough to the GOP that the turnout machine of non-active but easily manipulated voters can be rounded up for McKinney. I’ve even heard a few people back in my old neighborhood already calling Johnson a derrogatory term for a African-American turncoat. It’s a lot nastier than people realize. Much of the dirty politics has managed to remain low-key.

I don’t count Cynthia out yet. This election plays into her hands. It’s a low key election and she’s the prize turnout queen. If there was no Hecht-Martin race, I’d call it for Cynthia. But that race is just enough to turn out the other demographics in the district. We’ll see if Rockdale and Gwinnett generate turnout to make a difference.

Believe us when we say that the turnout among us (white male voters) will be higher than usual in this race. We are hitting the polls to make sure our Representative, CMac, get’s to keep her job!

Do you realize that if 40% of those white male voters who DID NOT vote in the July 18 election actually DID vote against Cynthia, we would not be talking about a runoff. Had they turned out and voted against Cynthia, we’d be cheering the political demise of Georgia’s own version of Zsa Zsa Gabor.

If Cynthia loses, will she move to Lebanon? Hope so…

I read about the number of buys she has up for all of her commercials. I guess she figures if she loses she never wants us to forget the face of the “cutest little Commie in Congress” as Boortz calls her.

Dorabill,

We’re sorry. We’ve been keeping it down too long. It’s time for the voice of the white male voter to sound from every mountain top!
