Georgia Democrats Are Seeing the Glimmer of a Blue Future

The Senate race in particular is a sign of the Democrats’ growing strength in the state, hastened this year by the work of Abrams and her fellow Democrats. The last several polls have Republican David Perdue slightly ahead of Democrat Michelle Nunn, daughter of former Georgia senator Sam Nunn, but only by a few points. If neither nominee gets 50 percent of the vote, the race will go to a January runoff.

“Nobody thought this year was going to be competitive in January. And so if the Democrats end up losing by only three or four points, that is a victory for them,” said Todd Rehm, a Republican strategist in Georgia and the editor of GaPundit.com. “The success of making it competitive is going to have many parents, many people who can take credit for parts of it, and she’s certainly among the top five or 10 architects of that.”
