Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[Bacon King]

This is completely unrelated to anything any previous post might have said but here's this great poll about ice cream I just found, it certainly isn't from behind a paywall because posting that here would possibly be illegal

Question 1: “Do you think it should be legal or illegal for ice cream to be legal in Georgia?”
Legal: 48% (strongly 30%, somewhat 17%)
Illegal: 43% (strongly 38%, somewhat 5%)
Don’t know/No answer: 9%

Question 2: “Has your opinion toward ice cream changed over the past few years, or not?”
Yes, has changed: 16%
No, stayed the same: 83%
Don’t know/No answer: 1%

59% of six-figure income earners like ice cream (a quarter of them having decided so in the last two years), two-thirds of adults under 40 like ice cream while olds hate it by a similar margin

I love you, and 48% of Georgians don't have a problem with that!

Awk; Griffin beat me to the joke.

Petition to rename the forum to Bacon King's Man-Harem?

[tmthforu94]

I'm still on the Karen Handel bandwagon - I don't know if anyone else has "liked" her on Facebook, but her social media campaign has been interactive and very impressive thus far. I'm just hoping she can work some late magic like she did before the Gubernatorial primary in 2010, then be able to hang on due to her gaffe-prone opponents.

[old timey villain]

That ice cream poll is almost too good to be true! Didn't PPP release a poll a few months ago claiming that only about 27% of Georgians supported legalizing ice cream? I doubt that many people jumped on the ice cream bandwagon in such a short time. I wonder which poll is more accurate.

State Sen. Jason Carter looks like he is testing the waters for a run against Deal.

Well, that's a done Deal.

Seriously though, I don't know much about Carter, but he seems a lot more savvy than his grandfather. Hopefully he can do well.

I'm not overly optimistic. Carter has never polled well in hypothetical gubernatorial match-ups; even though he has name recognition, not many people recognize his full name (if that makes sense).

Also, glorious news!

Of course (I'm not an actual Republican).

Adam's a Democrat. There are no actual R-GA's on the forum.

Also, she'll need a large war chest. Atlanta's pretty expensive to advertise in, but the rest of the state isn't that much.

Jason Carter is only known by 23% of the population according to the last PPP Poll back in August. 71% of Democrats, and 80% of Independents have no idea who he is. He's down 48/33, but that's with him only getting 68% of Democrats and Deal getting 85% of Republicans.

[Bacon King]

I'm skeptical about Carter but very optimistic about Nunn. I suppose it's possible some synergy between their campaigns could help Carter a lot, though.

[Bacon King]

So this is fun. If Carter runs:

the Democratic nominees for governor and senator will both be grandchildren of the men who held those respective offices exactly fourty years prior.

Are you sure? I thought it was her father...

Has Carter really a chance? I don't see Deal losing except if he's investigated...

[Bacon King]

Derp, right, her father and his grandfather.

[PolitiJunkie]

Governor Carter and Senator Nunn are going to make a great team!

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

20/20 Insight just called and polled about Carter!

[free my dawg]

Michelle Nunn raises 1.7 million in the 3rd quarter, has 1.4 million COH.

I'm impressed, and I'm still praying Handel doesn't get the nom.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Too bad only one of the two is likely to happen.

Kingston >> Handel >> Gingrey > Broun

Kingston's the one Nunn should fear.  His connection with rural voters thwarts one of her best angles.  Handel is a paper tiger who thrusts herself into unnecessary controversies and could easily have her own weird/ridiculous gaffe.  I'm also not convinced that Broun is materially worse than Gingrey.

[Bacon King]

I agree Kingston is a stronger candidate than Handel. It's worth noting that precinct-level results suggest that Kingston regularly polls 30% or more among blacks. Caveat, of course, that this probably won't be indicative of much of anything, but still.

Would you support them?

Not really, but the GA GOP doesn't have any better choices.
