David Perdue is declared the winner over Jack Kingston

for Senate. I just hope Michelle Nunn is strong enough and has plenty of support from Democrats to beat Perdue in November.

Michelle would have had a great chance. Incumbents are so difficult to get rid of. Best of luck to her for sure!!!!

Saxby Chambliss is retiring. Nunn is running against Perdue to fill the seat currently occupied by the scumbag Chambliss.

I've read that Nunn is polling well against Perdue. Let's hope she can beat him.

I hate when I do that but for some reason I hear Perdue's name all the time so I thought he was already in the position. Oh well hope he gets kicked to the curb by Michelle.

He's very well connected and very wealthy, and as is typical he tried to look like a good ol' boy in his tv ads wearing a jean jacket and blue jeans peering out over a pasture.

I look for a huge amount of mudslinging in his campaign against Michelle Nunn, to me it seemed that Perdue's advertising was much nastier than Kingston's.

The popular theory I've heard is that a lot of teabaggers here won't support Perdue, so between him being on the ballot and all the exposure Nathan Deal's crimes are finally getting a lot of GOPers will either sit out the election entirely or else vote Libertarian. In any case we need to be donating to Nunn and Carter and get out the vote.

We have a shot, and it could be incredibly important not just in Georgia but nationwide in helping to keep the Senate Democratic.

I hope those not in Georgia will consider making even a small donation to the Nunn campaign.

He hates gays and thinks Muslims are taking over. He's a right-wing radio host that's said some really crazy shit.

10. It didn't take long, Perdue's attacks on Nunn have already started

Lies, lies, and bigger lies. Tonight's ad links Michelle Nunn to Obamacare and claims that it's going to cost 400,000 Georgians their healthcare.


I think we need to start donating to Michelle's campaign immediately, she's going to need it to fight this asshole.
