The problem is Georgia is willing to elect any corrupt bastard with an R next to his name.

Here's a new banner from some of Nathan Deal's supporters:

VOTE FOR THE CROOK:
IT’S IMPORTANT

Sabato talking about possible runoffs: http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/notes-on-the-state-of-politics-2014-07-16/

If Carter and Nunn forced the election into a runoff, there will have to be two runoffs: Dec. 2 for gubernatorial runoff and Jan. 6 for senate runoff.

Since runoff favors Republican, this would not be an ideal scenario.

Anyway, can Carter and Nunn each win a runoff?

So they don't need to crack 50, just to beat their opponents by say a 48-45-7 margin?

They each need to get 50% + 1 vote to avoid runoff. Senator Griffin just assumes that the "others" would get ~3% of the vote.

(horribly biased) interview by Erick Erickson with Deal on the ethics stuff http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2014/07/17/deal-defends-aides-contact-with-ethics-chief-comparing-her-to-prosecutor/ he's neck deep and digging...

Yup. I get a lot of my GA news from Peach Pundit blog (in addition of Atlanta Journal Constitution).

The blog has a pretty conservative slant, but this give me an idea of what the conservatives are thinking.

Deal's ethic may not help Carter as much as it should be because some white Southerners are too stubborn to vote for Carter. They may vote for some third party candidates, but that doesn't help since Carter needs 50% + 1.

On the bright side, Nunn now have millions of attack ad ideas thanks to Kingston.
