And another Carter won to succeed Kingston in GA-1 as the GOP nominee. He was not the preferred candidate here, either.
Oh I forgot about that one, Buddy Carter, he’s the jerk who said “Obamacare is not that bad” and even called it by it’s Orwellian name “the unaffordable whatever act”.
He won by 8 points. Ugh.
Yes I remember how Barr ran against Linder for a safe seat in 2002 after the rat remap, abandoning the new version of his own seat which was made more competitive. And he lost and Gingrey held the seat anyway as Georgia voters gave a huge FU to the rats that year.
