I don't think that any of these local elections are signs of anything except what the candidates themselves represent.
If the Democrat comes out in Georgia talking about problems that matter to working men and women...then they have a shot.
If the Democrat ignores all of that and concentrates on negative campaigning and taxing people more...then they will lose.
In my opinion, this is all for the Democrats to win, or lose. The Republicans aren't having to do anything to win.
But the Dems have certainly been saying and doing plenty over the last 8 years to lose.
The Democrat Party needs to turn that ship around.
