| Description | I suspect Karen Handel will come out of tonight as the GOP frontrunner, with a close and late-called race for the all-important second-place among John Oxendine, Nathan Deal and Eric Johnson. Handel no doubt hopes it will be Oxendine, whose candidacy and political career have been fatally — and justifiably — damaged. If Ox sustains enough support to make it into the two-person runoff, Handel will win the nomination easily.
If it’s Deal or Johnson, things get more tricky. With her blanket condemnation of GOP legislative leadership on ethics grounds, Handel angered a good deal of the party establishment. And despite her endorsement from Sarah Palin, she’s vulnerable to attacks from her party’s right. If the rest of the party unites against her in the runoff, which seems possible if not probable, she could lose. |
