For all practical purposes the Georgia GOP had been DEALT a bad hand by their contestant in the gubernatorial race.
After battling ethical charges all throughout the primary campaign Nathan Deal squeaked through the victory door just a teeny weeny bit ahead of second place finisher Karen Handel. He won by about the width of a stack of bankruptcy forms.
Wouldn’t ya know it, just as he squares up against the smooth talking, well heeled, deep pocketed, former Guvnuh Roy Barnes, that stack o’ financial trouble, jumps clean over the ethical challenges, right to the top of deck.
Deal, it seems, has made some bad ones.
