Brainer. but michele nunn is running very strong in a lot of polls shes ahead of everyone, except for maybe david per dur but they flip back and forth. republicans down here in georgia have been saying we got to make sure we get the right person to go up against michele nunn in november, hence the reason why there was a lot of hand wringing when paul broun appeared to be the early front runner. at the moment, sean, it looks like people who could cross over a number of different voting groups are...
