Share Tweet Plugged-in Georgia political commentator and radio host Erick Erickson recently joined my radio show and sounded guardedly bullish about Republicans' chances in the January 5th Senate runoffs (early voting for which is currently underway). In a new online post, Erickson expounds on what he's seeing and hearing, and it's more convincing than a handful of potentially-unreliable polls, which we told you about yesterday. "Right now, it appears if the election were held today, the Democrats would win because of their early vote. But the GOP has gotten it closer than they did in the general and will surge into election day. Because the GOP is keeping early voting close, they’ll most likely cross the finish line on January 5th ahead of the Democrats," Erickson writes.
