Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

How close did Carter get in 2014, which was a strong Republican year with a heavily GOP senate race also on the ballot?

He lost 52-44

Oh. And it looks like he actually underperformed Michelle Nunn. Lovely

2010 Barnes. Both Carter and Barnes did about net 15% better than Clinton in rural Georgia, and with that, she would've almost crossed 50.

I think the Carter/Nunn result in 2014 was very impressive. Nunn is more of a libertarian moderate, so I'd prefer her, but Carter is pretty great, too.

I'm agnostic about Dems winning this race, but I think either could win if things break right. The path is there, IMO. The other will likely go for the Senate race in 2020.

These are some down ballot races both could run for:
Nunn: Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Commissioner, Insurance Commissioner
Carter: Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General

The governor appoints the AG in Georgia

It helps that there is no Senate race in the state in 2018. So you're not going to have voters come out for the Republican incumbent senator and then vote for the GOP gubernatorial candidate
