apparently, some people see Warnock as less qualified than Walker

it's just their opinion
I guess Warnock should have run for more yards in college, huh?

me either

folks don't need a reason A tall to chose a candidate

certainly don't need a good reason or an educated thoughtful reason

it can be a logical as some folks deciding to bet on a football game based of the color of the uniform

Kemp leading Abrams in latest Georgia governor polling   | The Hill
Kemp leading Abrams in latest Georgia governor polling   | The Hill

This is the more interesting item, I think, apparently quite a few voters polled like Kemp but not Walker (about a 5% spread).

Or they dislike Abrams more than Warnock.  So, that group in the middle that decides elections (usually) is OK with Kemp but not as OK with Herschel.

I don't see why this is so puzzling.
Because it's a fact that a good democrat is better than a bad republican, even if you're a republican
AND
a good republican is better than a bad democrat, even if you're a democrat.
.
I know that there are many people who refuse to believe it, but just because those people exist doesn't make them sane.

You're right, imagine if each house election was done by ping-pong ball lottery style.  
THe ratings would be through the roof!

As I noted, may folks want Republican control in the Senate.  It could be a dog running for that spot, they want the Republican vote.  This is not remotely puzzling.

This assertion is simply not true for many voters (even if they think it's a bad republican).  That's the very clear simple point yo refuse to acknowledge.

It's not somehow "insane" to want a Republican Senate (or the reverse).

And if anyone doubts me, if Trump had run as a Democrat (which he well could-have), I would have voted for anyone else. 

if Hillary had run as a Repub or independent, I'd have voted for anyone else, even Herschel Walker

this is easy - I understand it

I don't know much about Herschel politically.  He's not in my state and it bothers me to see or hear his statements
He very well might have taken a few too many shots to the head.  Heck, when he joined the Minnesooota Vikings he was mostly a basket case sitting near the tailpipe of his running car in a closed up garage.
But, I've not heard that he's nearly as evil as Hillary

OPEC announces they are cutting oil production by 2 million barrels per day. This is just a few months after Biden flew over to Saudi Arabia and got on all fours and sucked some Saudi D and begged them to drill baby drill.

Everyone can expect gas prices at the pump to shoot up soon.

Just find it comical a political novice like Trump basically had the Saudis wrapped around his little finger, and this brain dead senile fkn retard career do nothing 50+ year politician can’t even get them to take his phone calls. 😂

He has to fly over there and BEG for a meeting and beg them to increase production, only for them to tell him to pound sand and then months later announce they are cutting production, not increasing it. 😂
Saudi Arabia is raising oil prices for the US market again, while lowering them for Europe and leaving them largely unchanged for Asia.

November shipments of Arab Light crude to Asia from state-run producer Saudi Aramco will remain steady at $5.85 per barrel above benchmark prices. A Bloomberg survey estimated prices in Asia, the kingdom's top market, would rise by $0.40 per barrel.

Elsewhere, Saudi Aramco hiked prices by $0.20 a barrel for all US grades, while northwest Europe and the Mediterranean saw declines. While Asian prices for the company's light oil was flat, its medium and heavy-grade crude prices ticked up in Asia by $0.25.

Last month, Saudi Aramco also lowered prices in Europe and raised them in the US.

The latest shakeup in prices comes a day after OPEC+ slashed its production quota by 2 million barrels per day, or roughly 2% of global oil supply.

The cut was seen as a defeat for President Joe Biden, who has been pressing OPEC's de facto leader Saudi Arabia for an output boost that would ease fuel prices.

On Wednesday, the White House accused OPEC+ of "aligning with Russia" by lowering its quota, which comes at a time when "maintaining a global supply of energy is of paramount importance."

Analysts are noting the heightened political environment of OPEC's moves, as fresh European sanctions on Russian oil loom later this year as well as a price cap on Moscow's crude.

"This is hugely political and a very clear signal of OPEC's discontent regarding the price cap," Amrita Sen, chief oil analyst at Energy Aspects, told the Financial Times. "Regardless of whether the price cap is actually effective, they see this as a dangerous precedent."

May be an image of text that says 'Herschel Walker wins the 2022 Liesman Trophy'

I was thinking back to one of these that we had going after Ferguson, and I hadn't kept up with the story enough to know that the guy's name was Mike Brown. So I was reading someone's rant about it, and I was picturing Mike Brown the owner of the Cincinnati Bengals beating up Arabs and stealing blunt shells so that he can smoke weed, and I remember thinking "come on guys. This sounds like bullshit. I mean, I know that the man is notoriously cheap, but he doesn't need to be out there doing stuff like this. He has millions."
