Today's Election in Georgia

[zxcvbob]

I just heard a snippet of the Republican's answers to media questions. She said she spent $76000 on her campaign, and $10,000,000 went into the Democrat's campaign. Things should be interesting in June.

Where did all the money go?  They didn't actually spend $10MM did they?

From my understanding, yes, they did. All on advertising. Samuel L. Jackson did a commercial, I believe.

Enough is enough!  I've had it with these mother*expletive deleted*ing actors in these mother*expletive deleted*ing elections!

I am sure Jackson did not do that for free either.

IMO there is no excuse for the Reps running so many candidates. I was told by someone in the know that there is no mechanism (State level??) for winnowing out candidates. If the Reps had a single qualified candidate with a focused message, I don't think this would even be in the news.

I bet the official Republican party only had one or two candidates they sponsored, but I bet they have no way to actually prevent any of the others from running if they get the signatures to do so.  It appears to be an at-large type election so I guess there is nothing preventing multiple candidates from each party.  

If The Republican Party was so organized as to prevent various candidates from running for office, Trump would not have been in the race and Jeb would have lost.  I would rather have a mad scramble than that.

Wonder if Soros or DNC money helped collect signatures for some of the additional "Republican" candidates . . .

actors are the new lawyers - you still get paid for telling fibs, but there is better training and a better union

So there's still a silver lining in there.

I just saw that apparently all the celebrities are now migrating to Montana to push for some nobody running for Zinke's seat.

I've heard that Montanan's love having actors from California telling them what to do.

One problem Ben, I was talking to a friend of mine who lives in Montana and she said the state is very liberal.  In fact she was very surprised that it went R in the 2016 election.

Geez, I guess the liberals pulled off a New Hampshire in Montana before the libertarians were able to do it in New Hampshire.

Considering all the other dirty tricks that go on, that would be easy to do.  The nice way to say it is to find "moderate" Republicans who could be talked into running.
