How it Went Down

Kerry / Edwards Margin of victory map Dem primary
2001 Barnes flag / 2003 Hooks flag Margin of victory for flag in each county

Tonight I'm at a bit of a loss for words. Suffice it to say, anyone that knows anything about Georgia politics can look at these maps and know that the electability argument I and others have been making for Edwards might not have panned out, but Kerry clearly has yet to demonstrate that he can reach out beyond the base.

The one silver lining I see here is that Kerry won military areas. More to come.

this doesn't disprove the electability argument AT ALL. Find me a Kerry voter who wouldn't vote for Edwards over Bush in the fall. I can produce people who voted Edwards this week who WILL vote for Bush over Kerry (but might have voted Edwards over Bush).

but yeah, I'm trying to let it go.

Hey Chris,
Could you get a map the 2002 GA races to plot against the Edwards/Kerry map?

I imagine it would look similar. Now that I think about it, I suspect that may have been your point. But the subtlety was lost on me until now.
