Oxendine still leads GOP pack for guv
A new poll shows John Oxendine leading the governor’s race.
Or so the polls say. The latest one is from InsiderAdvantage:
John Oxendine: 26%
Karen Handel: 18%
Nathan Deal: 9%
Eric Johnson: 5%
Other 11%
No Opinion: 31%
IA also reports that the Ox is claiming more than $2 million in campaign cash in hand, despite not being able to raise money during the General Assembly.
What does IA head Matt Towery make of these numbers?
“My expectation is that this race won’t solidify until the later weeks of June and early July. At this early stage, the odds look strong for John Oxendine to make the primary runoff.”
Hmm. I’ve already predicted that the Ox will implode before the primary because he’s got more baggage than Paris Hilton on a Carnival cruise. We’ll see who’s right about this one, won’t we?
