Anyone notice that in the thumbnail of that video, absolutely nobody is listening to him? Look at the Tammy Faye in the bedazzled visor, she’s way too busy trying to text with press-on nails…
It might. I was listening to reports on the radio today (I can’t remember what news source, it might have been NPR), where they talked to some conservative voters in the Atlanta area that considered voting for either Warnock, or a libertarian, even though they’re voting R in every other race. It does seem to be turning off people on the right. Maybe not enough to matter, but who knows.
FiveThirtyEight has the Georgia senate race with Warnock (D) at 1.2% ahead of Walker (R) with 1.6% going third party. Picking at the margins is very important.
I wonder if this might be one of those things that people remember seeing that they didn’t actually see, but only heard.
According to the infallible (!) gurus at Wikipedia:
Television viewers did not see the incident. During the fall, a pre-taped vignette was being shown on the pay-per-view broadcast as well as on the monitors in the darkened arena. Afterward, while Hart was being worked on by medical personnel inside the ring, the live event’s broadcast showed only the audience. Meanwhile, WWF television announcer Jim Ross repeatedly told those watching live on pay-per-view that what had just transpired was not a wrestling angle or storyline and that Hart was hurt badly, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
I suspect that’s what I saw. I don’t recall seeing the actual accident, but I remember it happening. At the time I was working at a movie theater (as a federal civil servant, of all things) and my boss had the event up on the theater screen watching it. (We weren’t open, I was there cleaning up and doing other stuff around the place.) I just happened to be in the theater as it was going on. It was pretty shocking.
What I’ve heard is that the team knew of AN abortion allegation—but not necessarily that it was the one that was revealed this week.
In other words: we really don’t know how many women Walker may have paid to have abortions.
Another salient point: the support many “Christian evangelicals” are still enthusiastically offering Walker does seem to disprove the theory that they care anything about actual Christian teaching and values.
