Gov. Nathan Deal (R) won a second term in Georgia on Tuesday, beating back a challenge from former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson.

Deal had more than 56 percent of the vote when news outlets called the race for him, with 84 percent of precincts reporting.

Going down seems to be common among Democrats.

The Carter and Nunn family names held no real traction in GA.

[uglybiker]

The Carter name will be cursed in Georgia for the next 100 years.

MMM—Pun on the Devil going down in GA?

[ScottinVA]

In each of the races in which dems were mounting an actual challenge, i.e., GA, KS and KY, the GOP turned each into a rout. The American peoe spoke very loudly tonight.. they’ve largely awakened, and the want the evil that is obamunism crushed and Obama himself brought to heel.

A great night all around! Congratulations, America.. You may save yourself yet!

If the grandson is anything like granddad, the curse should remain in that family forever!

Have traveled around Plains and Americus for a couple weeks and Cater signs were all over the area.
So very glad the good folks there didn’t fall for another worthless Carter.

The city of 96 in the area is enlightening.

Wow! You counted out your “nuh nuh”s” out perfectly.

"The Carter and Nunn family names held no real traction in GA."

AMEN:
Some of the credit goes to Herman Cain. . . . .

Absolutely. My wife and were dumbstruck by the power of the commercial with the black gentlemen railing against those like Nunn (and Carter) who think they deserve to just “ascend to power” as an inherited right. It came on during the FL-GA game, so plenty of people saw it.

My wife is from Savannah, Georgia and doesn't follow Politics closely

I asked her did you know that Georgia Democrats went retro with a Cater for Governor and Nunn for Senate.

Their Children and Grandchildren were smarter than than their parents .

Though I did like Sam Nunn but his daughter is no Sam Nunn.

[uglybiker]

Been listenin' to that tune all my life!
I know it by heart! :-P

[hardspunned]

“The carter name will be cursed in Georgia for the next 100 years”

At least in death Billy escaped the the shame and embarrassment brought to the family by his moron brother.

Meanwhile “Ted Kennedy wins Senate Seat”.

Yes, Ted Kennedy _Jr_, 53, who won a seat in the
Conn. state legislature.

The “peanut” doesn’t fall far from the tree...or something like that.

Losers all.

[wrench]

Peanuts are actually dug up. This one should have remained buried.

[DoughtyOne]

Awwwww, damn! I hate when that happens!

For months we were force-fed poll results foisted on us of how "far ahead" Carter and Nunn were in their races. As Election day(s) drew near suddenly they were "even". The results were not even close.

I had been saying all along that the polls were cooked to gin-up the D base...thankfully, that blew up in their faces as it really motivated the Republican voters.
