It will be interesting if Georgia really has changed this much.
I don't think it's so much Georgia changing as it is the Dems running good candidates who are a better fit for the electorate here. Carter and Nunn seem to have qualities that every part of the Dem leaning voters like- in different ways they appeal to the young, to educated professionals, to women, to minorities and even to blue collar ancestral democrats.
Their campaigns have also been tougher. Ever since they took a bolder approach to the issues, instead of just trying to be inoffensive moderates, their support has grown tremendously. These Republicans who have controlled our state deserve to be attacked harshly for their policies and values that have sought to turn Georgia back into the fiefdom it used to be.
Fortunately, I think the voters would have realized this eventually without Nunn and Carter but their campaigns opened a lot of eyes.
I wonder how long it will be until Perdue and Deal start blowing the dog whistle at the last minute?
