Congratulations for forging a winning coalition and building a path to victory in the face of the doubters and deflectors, Ms. Abrams. Kudos!
Already the media is verving off point: in your speeches and presentations, you describe yourself as a progressive, not a liberal, as the Times reporters identify. I hope the media will be accurate during your campaign to bring Georgia to a golden era of progress. A progressive for progress!
Keeping working! I am going right now to contribute. Grassrooting campaigning needs wide support!
What the Times article missed is a firm focus on Stacey Abrams the candidate rather than the matrix of numbers and historic voting patterns of blacks and whites. It also omits one essential fact: as the Democratic House Leader, she flipped six Republican districts using her template. Her plan and strategy has been tested and proven: it works! As did on Tuesday! Her margin of victory against a well known opponent was larger than 3 to 1. She won over 75 % of the vote! Look at the differences in vote totals by county if you have doubts.
Stacey Abrams is an old-fashioned politician: she transcends numbers and previous patterns the same way Barack Obama did. She is charismatic, sincere, honest, unvarnished, warm, and listens and finds a way to include everyone’s position in conversations, and more important, in policies. Her inclusiveness is real. She offers none of the meanness and dirt, the blame and scorn that is a bulwark to Georgia’s progress.
Unlike others, she avoids the numbers and goes after the footsteps. Turning out voters at the polls.
