I'm not too thrilled with Perdue, but I could see where his campaign has accepted that there will be a runoff and is only doing what is absolutely necessary to prevent Nunn from reaching a majority and saving as much money as they can for the runoff.

If Perdue is already conceding that there may be a runoff, then he's already lost.

The actual Perdue chickens has more guts than he does.

Not really. IIRC Saxby Chambliss didn't get a plurality the last time around, ended up getting close to 60% in the runoff.

Every campaign runs itself according to assumptions. And whether those assumptions are correct is only apparent in hindsight.

Risk has a lot to do with it. With that Libertarian in the race, it's darn hard to get to 50%+1. So it's risky to blow money to get an extra few points, still only get to 49% and find out you're in a run off and then have to spend the first days of that run off replenishing funds.

Nunn, if what I'm seeing is right, is actually rolling the dice on a clean win. Given that the Libertarian is actually drawing some votes from her as well, that's incredibly risky. The GA candidates may end up on election night with Nunn ahead, but out of money, with Purdue behind but capable of sustaining full operations starting the next morning.
