Dear goodness. Nathan Deal is a total liar and loser. But I predict my illustrious fellow Georgians will elect him.
http://www.11alive.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=155470&catid=40Another week in the campaign and another clarification of GOP gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal's finances.
The latest disclosure is the second in 7 seven days and comes amidst reporters' questions about the omission of debts and assets.
Deal has been facing many questions about his finances after failing to disclose $2.85 million in business loans. He also is staring down a Feb. 1 deadline on $2.3 million for his daughter's failed outdoor sporting goods store in Baldwin.
The campaign says the candidate brought in an expert accountant who has experience working with the state of Georgia disclosures. They say Mr. Deal is far from insolvency and will meet all of his obligations.
The latest disclosures are different from last week.
Assets- - - $6,699,971
Liabilities- - -$3,837,500
Net Worth- - - $2,862,471
Home (asset)- - -$996,000
Property (liability)- - - $2.3 million due in February
Friday Nathan Deal was in Savannah campaigning. He spoke about his financial disclosure.
"We are taking care of the obligations, as we always do," he said.
Gov. Sonny Perdue also spoke of Deal at an early afternoon news conference.
"He is smart and able and competent, and while all of us like for everything we do to succeed, sometimes we have family members and that's not possible," Perdue said. "The fact is, I can see myself having done the same thing."
The Deal Campaign has said the candidate will liquidate an IRA worth $750,000 to help pay debt from a failed family business.
Two polls have been released since the financial revelations. The Insider Advantage shows a dead heat with Roy Barnes while The Rasmussen indicates Deal with a lead.
