Jon Ossoff, the great hope of the dem party, who single-handedly represents the idea that the dems have the overwhelming support of the American people and of course the moral high ground over the evil republicans, has declined to participate in a nationally televised debate on CNN a week before the election. Looking over the news reports, I cannot find where his campaign gives any reason for pulling out. Of course, his opponents have some ideas why.

Ossoff and Handel already have two debates scheduled for this week, including one tonight. This is a local race, not a national one.
Polls have not moved and there's only about 2% undecided in this race. I'm sure that both candidates don't see a lot of upside in participating in more debates.

Both candidates didn't pull out. Only His Majesty.

Really. From what I gather from SSS and the many of the board dems, this is a national election of global consequences, and Sir Ossoff is the savior of us all.

The two debates he is taking part in are tonight and Thursday on local TV stations. There may also be a third radio debate. Questions for these would come from local journalists and broadcasters. He originally challenged her to six debates and she didn't want any part of it until the polls didn't move in her favor.
He wants the election to be about him and her, not about Trump and Pelosi/Sanders. I am confident he'll make a good showing for himself tonight. He's articulate and fast thinking; and not just a parrot for Donald Trump like Handel is. Once you get Handel past "I support Donald Trump," she's in trouble.
Here's his latest ad:

Of course it is a national election. The results will have a large effect on the future of our galaxy, at least. If somehow, Handel the parrot gets elected, we're all gonna die.
BTW, you see the aura he gives off? When does he get his Nobel Prize?

Jon Ossoff up seven points in latest poll over Karen "I do not support a livable wage" Handel:
In a just universe, Saint Jon would have a 100% lead, and no one would even want to run against him. Everyone who votes against him, or even thinks a bad thought about him is obviously a racist, might be a homophobe, and probably is an islamophobe and gets a weekly check from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Club. His opposition is divided between red-neck mouth breathers that drive around in pickup trucks with confederate flags, and mind controlled robots who take orders from Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Their only purpose in life and only motivation is to keep the country from attaining the nirvana and utopia that Jon and his minions know this country can be.

There's hope for you yet, Flock.

Yes. Jon, the first of his name, has helped me see the light. I want to become an all-knowing, all seeing, all-compassionate bigot like you.

That's not been a reliable predictor lately, here or abroad.
In Nate I trust. But as far as I know, Nate hasn't yet weighed in. --Bob

Would that be Nate "Hillary Clinton chance of winning 71.4%" Silver?

That would be Nate ("Trump is just a normal polling error away from winning") Silver. (Yes, I know that story was actually written by Harry Enten.) Rather closer to the truth than almost anyone else. Hell, even Donny went into Election Day thinking he was going to lose. --Bob
