Most polls have Nunn in the low to mid 40s, so getting up to 50 is going to a hell of a clime for her, and like has been before mentioned she's been left out of attacks and been able to campaign simply as "daddy's little girl" that will change in a general election

Perdue will win. Democrats are WAY too optimistic about Nunn, who'll ultimately lose 55%-45%. It may go to a runoff though.

Nunn would have had a better chance against Kingston. In that scenario, she is the outsider philanthropist running against a longtime congressman in the least productive congress in decades and in an obstructionist, radicalized GOP caucus that has alienated independent voters.

But Perdue is an outsider too. And he has money and the means to raise a lot more.

Her best opening would be if Perdue made a Romney-esque gaffe. She should go after his business record and look for skeletons.

Supposedly there is a lot of stuff in Perdue's business record that didn't come out in the primary. And the way Kingston was attacking him during the runoff may not have worked with those voters, but it might have had an impact on independents.

I think at the end of the day, Nunn winds up leading Perdue after the initial general election. Like Landrieu, the election could basically hinge whether it goes to a run-off or not.

The biggest mistake Perdue can make in this race is to just assume that Republicans are going to come home for him. He laid down some pretty nasty attacks on Kingston and Handel that aren't going to be forgiven easily.

If it wasn't for the potential runoff I'd say Nunn, but because of it, I'm going with Purdue narrowly.

I'm confident that Nunn will win. As we've seen before, Perdue is gaffe prone, he has never run a serious campaign before, and it will show. He also has a lot of skeletons in the closet, and believe me, the Nunn campaign will define him before they can define her. She's got the money for it, where he really has a self-funded campaign. Nunn will win in the first round.

Purdue, but a Nunn win is not off the table.

Nunn needs to go on the airwaves immediately. I believe Perdue is broke at the moment and she has $3M+ on hand.

Nunn has barely been hit while Perdue and Kingston have been drug through the mud for months. Once Perdue's advertising advantage kicks into effect it is sure to be competitive, probably too competitive for Nunn to hit 50% on Election Day.

Up in the air on who wins on Election Day - I say narrowly Perdue. He then goes on to win the runoff by a comfortable margin.

Perdue came from behind to win the primary even as the entire Republican Party endorsed the other guy. Even with his gaffes, the man is a talent.

It's July and the focus has been on a brutal GOP primary. If you really think she's destined to win based on a few leads in Summer polls, you really need to reassess.

Clinton1996 raises a very good point about the money problem. Simply because of how vicious and long that primary was, Perdue's war chest has shrinked to only a couple hundred thousand on hand while Nunn still has millions she has to spend. If she can hold off Perdue these next 3 months with ad after ad after ad attacking his business record, mentions the college graduate gaffe, and find whatever else she can dig up, she might be able to pull this off.

Plus after the most recent mistake by Perdue calling for Obama's impeachment, if Nunn and national Dems can get enough of those hundreds of thousands of blacks registered in Georgia and GOTV for November, she would likely just win there and wouldn't have to worry about a January runoff. So I'm tilting towards a Nunn win here.

That was Kingston who called for Obama's impeachment, not Perdue.

The sheer fact that we're even having this conversation now is a victory for Georgia Dems. By 2016, we'll have at least one Democratic Senator from Georgia. The votes are there for Nunn to win 52-53% of Georgia voters: will they be there on Election Day is the real question. She can win without a run-off, but my gut says we'll end up in one. I don't think her fate is as sealed in a runoff as it would have been in the past, (if you can win a plurality in a midterm, then you stand a better chance than you would in a presidential cycle).

Perdue can self-fund, refilling his coffers today if he wants to be out of the hole. Nunn hasn't been hit that hard yet, sure, but the change in the election calendar in Georgia means that Republicans have lost in relative terms two months of attack potential (as in, Republicans attacking each other for two extra months; runoffs both before and after 2014 changes were in late July-early August).

Everybody also seems to forget that DSCC and outside groups are going to be attacking Perdue, too. This isn't the 2004 Senate race, y'all: it wouldn't surprise me if $30 million is dropped in Georgia before all is said and done, and neither party is going to have any substantial advantage in that money game.

I would have rather had Kingston, though.

Perdue has a better chance of winning, and it might go to a runoff, in that case, Perdue will definitely win.
