On one hand, analysts say Carter’s gains in fundraising and the polls are thanks to the surname. “If his name was Jason Smith, nobody would be talking about him,” Georgia Republican strategist Todd Rehm said. “He would not have had a cakewalk through the gubernatorial primary of his party without opposition. He would not be raising significant amounts of money.”
Rehm, who thinks Carter has an “uphill” battle, said the controversy over Carter’s Middle East positions are “causing Jason some heartburn among some Jewish voters who have traditionally been considered a heavily Democratic demographic.”
