I somewhat lean to Broun, since the other two Reps seem "meh" to me. But Broun's problem is also one of age, as he is older than Kingston or Gingrey. He'll be just months short of 69 at the start of the 2015 session. That will actually be 11 years older than Sam Nunn was when he retired after 24 years in that body.

That would almost make him a lame duck at the start and questionable whether he'd be up to serving 2 terms that most consider a necessity to being effective. Then again, he could make the pledge to just serve 1 term so he won't have to worry about fundraisers or kissing establishment tuchus and commit fully to the job and the Conservative agenda.

The poll showing Broun trailing the rat big is terrifying. I doubt any of the others would lose.

I gotta go with Karen Handel over these flawed Congressman.

“He’ll be just months short of 69 at the start of the 2015 session”

Wow! I’ve never thought to look and just assumed he was in his 50’s with the enthusiasm he projects. I love listening to him speak.
