Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[PolitiJunkie]

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!

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!

Are you rooting for Nunn?

[PolitiJunkie]

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

I used to live in very rural Georgia where most of the older voters are former Dixiecrats turned hardcore so-cons. I've asked them about the 2014 Senate election, and most of them have said "we're voting for Sam's kid!" I'm going to ask them about Jason Carter and the gubernatorial as well...I wouldn't be surprised if I get a similar reaction. If I remember correctly, they don't love Deal.

[PolitiJunkie]

Guys if Deal gets arrested what do you think would happen?

I think that Jason Carter would be the next Governor of Georgia. If there's one good thing that comes out of these red states, it's that their obsession with law and order sometimes results in a deviation from partisanship.
