After appearing at a weekend fundraiser for Senate Democrats, party leaders expect Michelle Nunn to make a final decision on the Georgia Senate race within weeks.

“The national party is working with Michelle, and I think we will probably have an announcement relatively soon on whether she’s in or not,” Georgia Democratic Party Chairman Mike Berlon said Monday. “We just want to get somebody out there early enough before the election that we can actually get behind them and start putting a structure together.”

The philanthropist and daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., appeared at a Sunday fundraiser in Atlanta for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. President Barack Obama was the featured guest at the event, with DSCC Chairman Michael Bennet and Executive Director Guy Cecil also in attendance.

A DSCC spokesman declined to comment on whether Nunn was preparing to announce a bid.

Right now, I see us at risk in three seats: Alaska, Arkansas and South Dakota, with a chance of a pickup in Georgia.

1. Louisiana and West Virginia too

2. Keep your fingers crossed that Berlon doesn't screw it up. Today's AJC

has this story:

Democratic Party Chair To Get Legal Reprimand.

Sorry for the lack of details. I refuse to subscribe to the AJC to get the full story.

3. While pickups are always good, hopefully she will be less in the pocket of defense contractors

...than her father was.

4. That would be amazing if we could win GA.

I tend to think we wll hold AK and AR but SD may not pan out for us.

5. Begich has the advantage of being from a small state.

AK will not want to give up his seniority. Pryor is conservative enough to make a case for a third term.
WV looks like a GOP pick-up, unless the Dem Sec of State runs (and the teabaggers put up a kook, which is looking more likely).

6. I agree! Always count on the GOP to nominate an idiot.

[Dawson Leery]

7. The teabaggers gave up 6 seats in the past two cycles.

They are on track to give up AT LEAST 1 winnable seat -> WV/NC/LA/AK/SD

...and/or throw away Maine(just as they threw away Indiana (Lugar) last year.

8. whats happening in Maine?

9. Teaklan is threatening Collins.

10. I imagine he is Tea party. Who do the democrats got running?
