News FiveThirtyEight's Georgia President and U.S. Senate summary
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 4:52 PM
FiveThirtyEight, one of the most entertaining and informative online resources for this Presidential election, posts an excellent Georgia-centric rundown on the state's demographics and political dynamics — and how the combination of the two may determine who runs the country come Jan. 20.
From the site:
Since native son Jimmy Carter was on the ballot, Democrats have found Georgia tough sledding. But with African-American turnout soaring to unprecedented levels, Georgia may be a state where the public polling models are off, and indeed Barack Obama has put last minute advertising resources into the state in an effort to both go over 400 electoral votes as well as help a rising tide lift Jim Martin's boat against Max Cleland-smearing incumbent Saxby Chambliss.
It's a long read, but it says Georgia's may be one of the closest races we'll see on Nov. 4. Definitely worth checking out.
