Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

R Senate primary poll. Perdue leads...with 13%.

No. He can't be the nominee. Doesn't his lead directly contradict with every other public poll?

Why can't he? Am I missing something here?

I agree that Carter is now better positioned than Nunn, with the GOP primary fortunes of Broun and Gingrey falling and Deal looking worse and worse.  However, Nunn could have a populist opening against Perdue with his recent college education comments.  I'm starting to worry about Handel again if she gets momentum from that gaffe.  

The biggest loser might end up being John Barrow for declining any statewide run this year.

I agree. Honestly, Carter comes across as a more serious candidate than Nunn, in my opinion. With her, I see a lot of generic rhetoric and not much substance... Where's the beef?

That's an impression I've gotten too, just listening to some of the things she's said.

She talks some about deficit reduction, particularly, in this radio interview:

I'm not as optimistic about Democrat chances in Georgia as everyone else here is. Paul Broun's fundraising has been terrible, and Gingrey hasn't been getting any traction. I expect Handel to get the nomination, and if not her, then Perdue.

I don't think you can count out Kingston either. Kingston has been on fire with fundraising. But I'm starting to think it's a three-headed race for the nomination between those three (Handel, Perdue, and Kingston).

Nunn raises $2.4 million in Quarter 1.

I basically agree with Maxwell. I still think Kingston could beat Perdue in a run-off, but ultimately, I'm sure that any of the top three could win against Nunn in the General. Nunn's path always included having a messy GOP primary and a flawed nominee (Broun or Gingrey).
