question everything

What are the chanced of Stacey Abrams? [View all]

Yes, it is great that an African American woman is a gubernatorial candidate but does she have real chances?

Didn't the daughter of former senator Sam Nunn run for governor and lost?

And the RWers are already after Abrams. Doe she really owe more than $50K in back taxes?

And is she not going to appeal to independents and to "frustrated Republicans," only to loyal Democrats?

I hope you are not going to alert for "repeating RW propaganda." If these claims are true, I hope that her campaign is ready to face them head on.
