[UPDATE: This is now the dumbest diary I've ever written. Early trends revealed nothing: In the big counties, Jim Martin is smoking Vernon Jones. He's going to win by 20 points.]
I've been watching the returns from Georgia's Senate runoff, and it looks like incompetent moron Vernon Jones will beat Jim Martin, about whom I know nothing other than the fact that he's not Vernon Jones. Check out the trends.
Here are the first round results.
Here are tonight's.
Look at the counties that have come in. In July, Bacon County cast 366 votes of which 107 went to Jones and 259 went to other candidates. Today, voters cast only 68 votes, and Martin edged out Jones 35 to 33. DeKalb County, Jones's base, hasn't come in at all.
Here's the winner that the broken Georgia Democratic party has probably nominated.
UPDATE: You know, I might be wrong. Which would be nice! According to the AJC, Martin is overperforming in lots of south Georgia black counties and clobbered Jones in Cobb County--where the Democratic electorate is about 40% black.
If I'm wrong, woohoo!
