BRACK: Early Democratic euphoria evaporates looking at runoff results

By Elliott Brack | DEC. 11, 2018  |  Georgia Democrats may be encouraged by their 2018 election showing, but they should not be so upbeat about any long term prospect at winning control over the state soon.

BRACK: We hate to predict, but statewide politics may not be over Tuesday

By Elliott Brack  | Here’s what we’ll predict: if the political polls are as accurate as the pollsters hope they will be in the 2018 election, politics in Georgia won’t be over today. We predict we’ll have a runoff in the governor’s race, and at least two other statewide races.
