Michelle Nunn is running for Democratic nomination for Senate. This is tremendous good news. She is the only Democrat that has a chance to defeat the Republicans running to fill the seat that Sen. Saxby Chambliss is vacating.
Michelle Nunn is the CEO of one of the largest volunteer organizations in the naiton. She also happens to be former Sen. Sam Nunn's daughter. She is presenting herself as someone who can work across party lines to get non-partisan legislation passed -- and, indeed, the organization she heads, "Points of Light," was started by former Republican President George H. W. Bush. And she has the enthusiastic backing of the Democratic bigwigs in the state.
So let the Republicans fight out a hard primary race. So far, three congressmen are running (Gingary, Kingston, Braun), plus former Secretary of State Karen Handel. Maybe the three sane ones (Gingary, Kingston, and Handel) will split the sane vote; and Paul ("theories of evolution are straight from the pits of hell") Braun will get the nomination.
And then let's see if we can send a Democrat to the Senate for a change.
