Georgia Democrat Michelle Nunn won't commit to voting for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) if she wins her Senate race.
"I look forward to changing the composition in the leadership of the Senate. The way that we’re going to change Washington is to bring more people to recognize — to have the humility to recognize — that there are good ideas on both sides of the aisle," Nunn told reporters following a forum with her opponent, businessman David Perdue (R). "I will vote for the Democratic leader that I think best represents our capacity to get things done and move things forward," she continued.
Nunn has trailed Perdue in recent polls of the race, and the comments seem squarely aimed at putting distance between herself and national Democrats in red-leaning Georgia. Nunn has sought to paint herself as a centrist deal-maker unhappy with both parties, while Perdue has tried to tie her to Reid and President Obama throughout the campaign.
It also seems more a campaign ploy than anything else — no Democrat is expected to challenge Reid as party leader and, as Republicans point out, Reid has been highly complimentary of Nunn.
Unless she promises NOT to vote for Reid, it is meaningless.
Watched Nunn and Perdue on Cspan. She was all over him
from the giddyup. He didn’t retaliate until closing remarks.
Although Perdue is smart for not going too negative he needs
to hook her to Reid, Obama, and the D-Rat failures or she could
win. She needs to be pinned about just how she will oppose
specific libtard failures.
Sam Nunn is my fourth cousin twice removed...
What does that make Michelle?
My 5th cousin?
I would think she is your fourth cousin thrice removed. I
prefer the terminology that keeps things generationally
connected. Exp: your cousin’s children are second cousins
to your children but to you, your cousin’s children are first
cousins, once removed.
Well, I saw the Georgia Senate Candidate Forum on TV so you
could find a link just as easy as I on my semi-smart phone. I did
do a little research for you. BWT, Michelle Nunn was bagging on
Perdue based on his primary contest statements, I guess. He needs
to step up his game big time. He will not coast to anything and I
think he is pretty damn good.
