7. A fuck ton was given to defeat Graham, Collins, etc. The allocation of resources has to be targeted.

Money alone won't get the job done, especially with that 3-way battle against Loeffler, since she was done in with that spoiler Republican candidate. This time, that Doug Collins guy won't be there. Hopefully, the DSCC won't concentrate canvassing in the Red counties and concentrate them more towards the Dem stronghold city areas and the beltway between Columbus & Augusta.

I've seen in the past a lot of effort spent trying to go door-to-door in GOP strongholds with virtually zero results. Direct person-to-person interaction is the most time and resource intensive of the campaign methods. While there needs to be selling, the majority of the labor workforce needs to work the more fertile and receptive communities to drive turnout.

As an example, Union County, GA had around 14K votes and only 12% went to Warnock. No amount of ground campaign will sway areas like that, and sending people to perform ground campaigns there will now probably subject them to threats or worse.
