Nunn Stakes Bid on Changing Georgia

With $3.3 million in the bank, Michelle Nunn (D) is her party’s “best hope in an open race to replace Senator Saxby Chambliss, a Republican, who is retiring,” the New York Times reports.

“Her campaign will test whether the rapidly changing demographics of Georgia — where state elections data show that the white vote dropped to 61 percent of the total in 2012 from 75 percent in 2000 — have shifted enough to return a Democrat to Washington. And it will reveal how much legacy still matters in politics.”
