Atlanta Mayor's Race - The Morning Line

The final morning line!

How weird can it get, bubba? This weird. The candidate who was a delegate to a Republican convention is being called a progressive and the candidate who has the backing of the Democratic Party of Georgia is being called a Republican. Nobody knows what the GBLT community will do. And everybody's stealing yard signs.

Hang on, Mable! The final twist might be a doozy!

Your final line. Things tighten up a bit as Norwood has finally started to make some noise. All eyes will be focused on turnout in the Post 6 Commission race. But don't let anyone fool you into believing they know what the hell they are talking about. (A reminder. This is a football line, therefore the favorite has the negative number)

Kasim Reed: -1.0
Mary Norwood: +1.0

Over/Under on turnout: 32,000

Wager wisely and if your are breathing citizen inside the city limits of the ATL, please vote.

Moes & Joes Murry puts the odds at 51% vs 52%, very close indeed ;)

LOL! It is funny to me how white people will conveniently play the race card when African-Americans vote for an African-American candidate over a white candidate. I never hear any mention from white people of race being a factor when white people vote for a white candidate over an African-American candidate, even though this happens FAR more often in this society than the reverse. You are basically implying that African-American people are not smart enough to vote for what is in their best interest and only see the color of the skin, using that as the main criteria with which they make their final decision. African-Americans will do what they usually do in any election and vote for the person who they believe it is in their best interest to vote for. In the history of this country, African-Americans have NEVER had a problem voting for a white person for public office. The proof of this is that there have been 43 elections where African-Americans voted for white candidates. In all of those elections white presidents were put into office with the help of African-American voters. How many African-American governors have been elected in the state of Georgia by the white majority? I know the answer . . . do you? If not, look it up. I have relatives in states like Mississippi, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. How many African-American governors have been elected in those states by the white majority? I know the answer . . .do you? If not, look it up. But let an African-American majority elect an African-American over a white and all of a sudden race is a factor. White people PLEASE!!! LOL!!! Get a grip on reality and stop playing the RACE CARD! This country has 400 years of example I can give where whites have routinely and systematically NOT voted for an African-American just because they were African-American. Again, stop playing the RACE CARD!

I hate you all. And no one is even giving me credit for nailing the margin of victory. Even though I did screw the pooch on the over.
