This race seems to be breaking open. I’m supposing that Perdue is well-funded, as I know nothing about him other than being related to a former Governor. Jack Kingston brings the asset of a south Georgia base, which is not reliably Republican, and rural appeal.
Ugh, from what I’ve heard, Kingston and Perdue are AWFUL! We’re going to be stuck with another Taxby Chambliss!
The poll results ring true tome because of the stories of the Dem's chopping their lips to run against Broun and Gingery. I think some of the bad candidates we have run in the last two cycles have made GOP voters skittish of tea party candidates. They don't see Rand Paul or Ted Cruz or Ron Johnson and the MSM points out the disasters.
That being said I am noticing a lot of Broun signs around when I drive through some of the neighborhoods around Gwinnett county.

Crikes Kingston and Purdeue. Might as well keep Saxby. I saw another poll that shows Paul Brouon in the lead so hopefully its true. Name recognition is whats going on right now. It will ebb and flow before May 20th
Get out and push for Jack Kingston! We need him desperately!
So far I’m liking what i hear from Perdue the most. He’s also never held public office anywhere which is a plus in my book for someone headed to a cesspool like the senate.
I can tell people straight-off that Handel won’t make it. Too much baggage. Broun has inadvertently ticked off a lot of corporate leadership in GA too. Perdue has been referred to at my workplace as “a man we can do business with”. Take that for what it’s worth.
