“Handel was not the most conservative and did not have the best chance against the democrat.”
No, she wasn’t the most conservative person in the race. Eric Johnson was. Deal may very well beat Barnes in the general election because GA is a very Red State. But Barnes will beat Deal over the head with the ethics club, and it could become very interesting as a result.
Eric Johnson was always my first choice. I believe this runoff would have been between him and Deal if it weren’t for all the “outside help”
As I said before Handel has an ethics charge against her as well. I believe Barnes had a lot more on her - liberals were pulling for her.
