As far as i understand - because she is a Black liberal from Atlanta in polarized age...

Can she win as a Republican?

"Black, ATL, female", in that order.

They've elected Karen Handel to a statewide position or are we specifically talking about the position of Georgia's Governor?

She is white conservative Republican. You can elect such women statewide in Georgia. But "black liberal Democrat from Atlanta" in addition to woman - that never happened AFAIK, and (IMHO, of course) isn't very likely to happen in the near future. Eventually - yes, but i doubt that i will survive to see it.

That's tragic.

Why does it seem like black women can't get elected governor anywhere?
