*******************

In La Nov. 4, is their primary election, jungle primary, where all candidates are on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation. It takes 50% +1 to win out right or there is a runoff in Dec. between the top two vote getters.

A Libertarian candidate keeping either major party candidate under 50%. Chambliss was forced into a run-off in 2010 against Jim Martin. Libertarian candidates do somewhat decently (for a third party) in Georgia, usually around 2-3% statewide.

And Democrat US Sen. Wyche Fowler in 1992. Had a plurality in the Nov. general election, lost the run-off to Coverdell.

Sweet.

Just wait till you see what gets elected under the “Republican” monkier.

With all the crap in the last 8 years from democrats, the Repubs should sweep all races, except for the fact that the people of this country just love their feebies.

The gopE might take over the senate. Then the democrats will have someone to blame for two years leading up to Hillary.
