If we lose this one, I can identify the moment. It’s when Perdue bragged about outsourcing jobs to foreign countries. That’s even worse than supporting open borders. What a dumb ass! I wish that Jack Kingston had been the nominee.
Maybe we can trade them. They get Nunn in and we get Barrow out.
That's the problem with nominating businesspeople with nugatory records in politics. Their reflex is to make a pitch to the wealthy shareholders who sign their paychecks. Unfortunately, that's an entirely different audience from the average voter who might, in many cases, have an opposing interest.
You have to remember Georgia has a run-off if no one reaches 50%, and the run-off electorate is always much smaller and more Republican than the general election one. The Libertarian Party candidate is holding both under 50%, and it really doesn’t matter if Nunn gets a plurality, she’ll be toast in a run-off.
It’s the same thing that happened in 2008 with Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin. Martin came so close to Chambliss in the general, and got completely crushed in the run-off.
I’m not shocked. Perdue is a lackluster candidate and he has run a lackluster campaign. I have been worried all along about him winning. I said when Perdue won the primary that he would end up being Saxby Chamliss’s third term. If we had nominated Paul Broun, or Karen Handel they would be leading at this point. Even Kingston would have gone negative on Nunn and probably be leading.
Well if Perdue bragged about outsourcing jobs, he deserves to have his potential job outsourced to Nunn.
