"Dems have new hope in Georgia"

Dems have new hope in Georgia

Senate Democrats are feeling increasingly upbeat about former charity executive Michelle Nunn’s chances in Georgia after a rough week for businessman David Perdue (R).

The GOP nominee is facing heat over revelations that he said in a 2005 legal deposition he had “spent most of [his] career” focused on outsourcing, and didn’t help himself by responding that he was “proud” of that record.

The open-seat Senate race has flown under the national radar in recent months, as most strategists assumed Perdue had the upper hand. But Democrats view the comments as a game-changer — and Republicans concede that their nominee has had a problematic stretch.

“The race has tightened,” admitted Georgia Republican strategist Joel McElhannon. “Dave has taken a few hits here over the last week or two from a very well-coordinated, aggressive campaign.”
