You really wonder if Geoff Duncan may have been able to pull through too if he ran again.
He would have easily cleared 60, if not 70. Most voters consider that office an extension of the Governorship in these days after its 21st century weakening (remember Democratic incumbent Mark Taylor held onto the seat in 2002 despite Barnes losing the Governorship; powers cut after that, but alas). With Kemp winning by the margin he did, there would be no reason why Duncan wouldn't have easily skied to re-nomination.
I was thinking this on election night.
My first thought was "I bet Geoff Duncan is kicking himself for not seeking re-election."
