Attorney Antonio Moore and guest political commentator Yvette Carnell discuss the contrast between Meghan Markle’s wedding, and Stacey Abrams securing of the Georgia democratic governorship nomination. ​ They also discuss the welfare fraud committed by Rachel Dolezal.
The two along with random callers delve into an analysis of Meghan Markle, and her marriage into the royal family whom played a major role in African American enslavement. While taking in a comparison to Stacey Abrams who is fighting for a monumental political foothold for democrats in the deep south as Georgia’s next Governor. They also look closely at the vast difference in appearance between the two women, questioning how that plays a role in their different paths.
Can Stacey Abrams Really Turn Georgia Blue?
So while I don’t want to diminish the challenges of a black woman being elected governor anywhere in America, particularly in the South, Abrams’s main barrier to winning may simply be being a Democrat.
But here’s the good news for Abrams: No Democrat has run an aggressive statewide campaign in Georgia2 in conditions that we’re likely to have this fall — a more diverse, urban Georgia and a bad environment for Republicans. (Trump is likely to be a drag on GOP candidates the way Obama was for Democrats in 2014.)
The math for Abrams looks (roughly) like this:
-
Win 90 percent of the nonwhite vote. (That’s doable in part because the vast majority of that electorate is black voters.)
-
Make sure nonwhites are 40 percent of the electorate through intense get-out-the-vote efforts. (That’s at least plausible because almost 40 percent of Georgia’s citizen voting-age population is nonwhite.)
-
Win 25 percent of the white vote. (That’s doable without Abrams being particularly strong in rural areas because a huge part of the Georgia white population is in the Atlanta suburbs.)
