Months ago, I suggested that the crowded Republican field of senate hopefuls might work to the advantage of the Democrats this year. The idea was that Phil Gingrey, Jack Kingston, David Perdue, and Karen Handell would split the not-so-right-wing conservative vote and give the nomination to ultra-conservative right-wing Paul Braun.
Then Democrat Michelle Nunn would have an easier time defeating nutty Paul Braun in the general election.
A Public Policy Poll has just been released that shows exactly that happening:
Braun lead with 27%, followed by Gingrey 14%, Kingston 13%, Perdue 12%,
and Handell 9%. Of course, if you think of those four as the
anti-Braun vote, they total 48%.
So, if there is a run-off, the one of those four who emerges to vie with Braun will probably win.
But it's going to be fun to watch.
