Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[Adam Griffin]

Could there be much political fallout from the snowstorm? 63% in Atlanta disapprove of Deal's handling of it.

Yes, social media suggests the middle is blaming Deal profusely. Of course, InsiderAdvantage released another one of their excellent polls that shows only 15% of voters blame Deal the most.

In all honesty, though, what % is actually Deal's fault and what % is simply due to a lack of resources, something that no administration would have been prepared for?

So in GA-04, what is Tom Brown running on against Hank Johnson?

It's a pretty complicated answer, but he had a lot to do with it being so bad. Other states moved quickly and had resources in place - Georgia didn't. On top of that, he was inaugurated in the midst of an ice storm in 2011 and made the pledge that snarled traffic and the issues that were happening would never happen again under his watch.

RedState is endorsing Loudermilk for CD11.

That's a shame. Loudermilk is really a terrible person from what I've gathered. I've heard personal stories from friends that would make your skin crawl and that are so out there that I don't even want to repeat them for fear of sounding crazy.

So in GA-04, what is Tom Brown running on against Hank Johnson?

As best I can tell, he hasn't really staked out any new positions or ones that would set him apart from Johnson. More than anything, I expect he wants to use his name recognition as sheriff of Dekalb to unseat a congressman that is traditionally thought of as being downright stupid. I got to see Johnson speak at Emory one time. He was all over the place, kept reading the same parts of paragraphs over again on his sheet of paper and was very uninspiring. Brown is much better at this.

I'd actually would like to know

The Madison Project endorses Broun.

I was fortunately off today and as I wake up I see the ground covered in snow again! Do we know yet if this is Snowpocalypse II or if they were actually prepared this time?

Not surprising! Good news though.

R Senate primary poll. Perdue leads...with 13%.

R Senate primary poll. Perdue leads...with 13%.

No. He can't be the nominee. Doesn't his lead directly contradict with every other public poll?

Larry Sabato moves the Georgia governor race from Safe R to Likely R

Ok, I checked the methodology. They only tested Republican voters. Georgia has an open primary, so Democrats, Republicans, and Independents can vote in it.

Pretty much every poll has Perdue just barely above joke candidates like Yu and Grayson. No way is he beating Handel or the 3 representatives.

Why can't he? Am I missing something here?

[TX Conservative Dem]

I agree with Sabato on the Georgia governorship being LIKELY REPUBLICAN.

No. He can't be the nominee. Doesn't his lead directly contradict with every other public poll?

Why can't he? Am I missing something here?

Because it makes no sense for him to jump 7 or so points in a single poll.

dumping cash into advertisments? ISn't he a self-funder?

Eugene Yu (R) is dropping down to GA-12 from the Senate race.

[Vega]

Eugene Yu (R) is dropping down to GA-12 from the Senate race.

He probably has a better chance of winning that race.

[Bacon King]

Perdue has been running TV and radio ads like crazy in the Atlanta market (and probably throughout the state) and as far as I know he's the only candidate on the air anywhere right now. Not surprised at all he has a lead from nowhere.

[IceSpear]

I wonder how a Broun/Gingrey run-off would turn out?

"Please, you weak kneed Demoncrat lover. I defended Todd Akin when nobody else would!"
"Don't give me that, socialist RINO! When's the last time you called evolution a lie from Satan?"

[publicunofficial]

Paul Broun's first ad is up


In it he claims that Democrats fear him because he's the most conservative candidate and is sure to win.
