Governor forecast

People are talking about the MyDD House forecast - “Dems take 15-25 seats” - but I was as interested in the Governors forecast. To wit, “it appears extremely likely that the Democrats will capture a majority.”

Woo whoo!

What about Georgia?

Likely Republican

13. Georgia (Democrat: Mark Taylor). The approval rating of Republican Governor Sonny Perdue is fairly strong, but Democratic Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor appears to have at least some shot at victory (though how good of a shot remains to be seen).

Latest polling: Insider Advantage, Perdue 49 - Taylor 32, August 23; Strategic Vision (R), Perdue 54 - Taylor 41, August 23.

That’s better than I thought.
