Makes me wonder what the other tier two states are. North Carolina? Arizona? Missouri?

I was really hopeful based on the polls for Nunn, but she ended up just over 45%.

So unless Hillary has money to burn or Palin is the nominee or Trump runs third party, Georgia just seems like a money pit.

Some good insight here. Obama's team in 2008 gave up in September on staff and spending, yet they ended up with 46.9%. Also interesting to note that they had a paid staff of more than 100 at 1 point.

Is it unreasonable to think that they could have won in 2008 if they didn't pull out? Loss by 204,636 votes.

Could be an insurance policy against Ohio/Florida turning red?
