1. Both are evil but I would rather see Deal than anyone

that Sister Sarah endorses...

2. Only 11% in in Fulton, and half of Cobb still out.

Those outstanding ballots might be enough to nudge Handel ahead in a nail-biter.

4. Looks like they are splitting the exurb vote evenly.

3. And let me guess - Barnes vs Handel?

[jefferson_dem]

5. Right. Barnes is the best the Dems could ask for...

And two Repug candidates here with serious baggage. It's a win-win.

We all know Deal is a smarmy scum-sucking snake in the grass ... Do you realize Handel is a political neophyte with NO COLLEGE DEGREE?

6. No wonder Palin likes her

Someone even more unqualified and uneducated than herself is very appealing to her.

7. Ugh. Either way... bad for us. Go Roy Barnes! nt

8. Nate Silver says his model shows Handel winning 50.7 - 49.3 for Deal.

Based on a straight linear extrapolation of the vote by county, Handel would beat Deal 50.7-49.3. But, obviously, too close to call. #GAGov

9. Nate Silver is a freak.

it might turn out exactly that way.

10. Nate Silver has a machine for a mind.
