Like Winfield said, Georgia, together with Arkansas, was the most Democatic of the Southern states. This doesn't really mean anything in terms of right-left position, it was more of a party tradition thing, I think. This was actually true for a long time onwards. Clinton won Georgia as late as 1992 and after Coverdell's death Georgia had a Democratic Governor as well as two Democratic senators. It's really only since 2002 that Democratic support here collapsed, making Georgia one of the most Republican states in the South.
