Bellying up to 'The Politics Bar' for a celebratory toast
One of the benefits of the 'blue tsunami' was signaling to current Georgia governor Brian Kemp - who clearly has 2028 in mind for himself - that if he wants to win Georgia then, he can't gerrymander Georgia now and piss of the electorate even more. That's why I believe he announced there'd be no special session called to redraw maps late last week. Joining me Friday to talk all about the seismic midterm results and have - in general - some good, lighthearted conversation on the state of political affairs in Georgia and throughout the country - Shawn "Smith" Peirce from "The Politics Bar."

The 'blue-nami,' black women ascend & the blame game begins
With Tuesday's resounding "blue tsunami," both in Georgia and throughout the U.S., it's hard not to stop and appreciate the 25-plus years of effort that has gone into that pinnacle moment by the likes of the Georgia WIN LIst and its executive director, Melita Easters. I invited her back to the show to give her and the organization its well-earned 'bouquet.'=+=+=+=In the weeks leading up to Tuesday, Donald Trump implored his base to pretend that he was on the ballot. Democrats said the same to their base and independents, and it worked out well for them. So naturally, the narcissist-in-chief took to Truth Social and TV to dismiss the midterm bloodbath his party suffered having anything to do with him. Of course. The Meidas Touch remembers.On the right, the blame-game begins. Conservative radio pundit Erick Erickson provided a lengthy list of reasons, and they all lead back to Trump - who Erickson didn't back in 2024. He used to be one of the few outliers in the MAGA-fied GOP. Well now, he's gaining company.

Will 'Charlie Brown' kick that ball or will 'Lucy' yank it away (again)?
Going into Tuesday's historic midterm election day, it was hard not to feel like 'Charlie Brown,' eyeing the football firmly planted on the ground, held by the nefarious 'Lucy Van Pelt' - just knowing we were going to kick that ball through the uprights. Keisha Lance Bottoms' closing message seems to have been focused and sharp, while her opponent, Rick Jackson, relied on months-old TV ads. It's also noteworthy seeing who among her primary opponents have continued to work on her and her party's behalf (Jason Esteves, Rep. Ruwa Romman, Sen. Derrick Jackson) and who hasn't (Mike Thurmond, Geoff Duncan). Last week, Jay Bookman, writing for the Georgia Recorder, opined that this election day could (and did!) reshape Georgia's state governance in a profound way. The AJC's Caleb Groves, however, cautioned what may or may not be known by the time we go to bed. The AJC's Greg Bluestein provides five questions we'll eventually get answers to, as well.

Kamala's visit with Ossoff: who's feelin' who out for 2028?
Former Vice President (and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate) Kamala Harris made two Georgia stops Thursday - on behalf of Senator Jon Ossoff and in support of former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and the rest of the party ticket. It's hard not to imagine her making another go at the Oval Office in 2028, but it got me to wondering if she's eyeing Ossoff for a potential VP nod. I mean, there've been a number of high-profile, potential 2028 contender types stumping in the state in recent months so are they feeling him out or might he be the one doing the tire-kicking? Meanwhile, Georgia early voting numbers are shattering prior midterm records, but what do they tell us? Georgia Recorder's Ross Williams gave us the data; I offer up the hypotheses.

The Obama comedic effect, the Audi argument & Keisha's closing pitch
President Barack Obama can still draw a (packed arena) crowd, as he did in the closing days of the midterm cycle in Morrow, just south of Atlanta.What may actually work best in his speeches, these days, is his comedic quips. Naturally, the "Cheesecake Factory" line from the weekend prior had folks chuckling days later, but his noting what did (and didn't) upset Trump was pretty funny, too.Still, these closing rallies are meant to stir up enthusiasm for the gubernatorial campaign of former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (oh and Senator Jon Ossoff's seemingly certain re-election bid), so I'll air all of Keisha's time on the stage that day, with apologies to the former President.There's new polling from State Navigate to look at, too. Y'all know I love poll-diving.Oh, and there's a footnote about the lats Trump visit where he sprung the news on the new Audi facility coming to Georgia: all the work that went into luring that pre-dates him, though he certainly wants the credit. Brian Kemp would like a word.

Another state Senate candidate eyeing a swing for GA Democrats: meet Laura Murtvartian
The Atlanta Journal Constitution spotlighted five key state Senate races that could provide an opportunity for Georgia Democrats to draw even or even take the state's upper chamber. One of the Democrats working to flip a GOP-held state Senate district - in the northern Atlanta suburbs - is Laura Murvartian.I got to spend time on the Wednesday show with Laura to learn about her background and campaign priorities. Hear how liberal and progressive priorities are enjoying a growing audience in the more affluent and diverse district she hopes to represent.

Has Jackson been 'fostering' a gubernatorial run all along?
Because he's spent more than $115 million in a marketing campaign to catapult himself from 'relative unknown super-rich guy' to 'the former foster child who wants you to believe he singularly overcame that to become that super-rich guy who singularly puts hundreds of foster kids through college',' Rick Jackson's largely gotten a pass for something I've long been saying is "ick" about Rick.He's been using any well-intentioned benevolence and advocacy on his part to 1) scheme to convince Burt Jones to film a testimonial on Rick's behalf then use it to run an attack ad against him and 2) give voters the impression he's solely responsible for those foster kids having their tuition paid for. It's just ... "ick." But that's Rick. Rick who'd have us all believe he can singularly "fix" the state that his party's controlled for three-plus decades. =+=+=+=Meanwhile, as I've said before, Rep. Mike Collins - running to unseat Senato Jon Ossoff - isn't even particularly popular with Republicans, and the latest among them to say they won't be voting for him is syndicated Georgia-based radio host Erick Erickson. Erick hawks Omaha Steaks on his show, but he's not keen on "sh*t sandwiches."
