Insider Advantage poll says Keisha clears 50% and I’m skeptical
The Ron Show - weekdays at 8am and 4pm on Georgia NOW.
Plus Carolyn Bourdeau’s seems to dislike her party’s gerrymandering response; why? And FRIDAY FUNNIES w/Sterling Thrill
New – and shocking – Democratic gubernatorial polling shows Keisha Lance Bottoms mightn’t need worry about a run-off. The Insider Advantage polling of 800 likely Georgia voters (likely split in half by party affiliation but they gave us no in tabs) has Bottoms netting 52% of likely Democratic party voters with only 14% undecided – meaning if correct, there’d be no run-off. It also shows a neck-and-neck race for the GOP nod with Rick “the ick” Jackson and Burt Jones but Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger actually within striking distance and few undecideds there, too.
I’m skeptical.

Meanwhile, Democrat and former Congresswoman Carolyn Bourdeaux didn’t race to pen an op/ed when Trump coaxed mid-decade gerrymanders in red states but is now bemoaning it all now that Democrats have responded. She, Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema should gather for a meal or something.
PLUS: my Friday Funnies therapy sesh with good friend, comedian Sterling Thrill.

Shawn is a long-time national media producer and radio talent who's one of the few producers in U.S. political media to have worked on the left, right, and center, including more than a decade with "The Randi Rhodes Show" and stints producing "The Stephanie Miller Show," "The Bill Press Show," "The Laura Ingraham Radio Show," and "The Steele & Ungar Show" for SiriusXM. The show airs weeknights on progressive radio affiliates nationwide and is available on-demand through podcast platforms and Substack subscription.
