Nathan Deal Aims to Succeed Sonny Perdue
The Republican candidate in Georgia's gubeatorial race hopes to succeed his fellow Republican, outgoing goveor Sonny Perdue. It has been a bitter campaign against his opponent, Democrat Roy Baes.
Nathan Deal has maintained a lead in the polls but the republican nominee has still not broken through the 50 percent threshold required to win the goveor's office without a runoff.
Still - the former congressman says he expects victory with the prospect that at least half the undecided voters will decide to support him.
Before Tueday's vote Deal flew across the state for rallies with a crowd of republican candidates and office holders.
He has been buffeted by a series of news reports on his finances and relentless negative advertising.
But the Republican Goveors Association has blanketed TV screens with ads attacking Democratic nominee Roy Baes.
Deal had 47 percent support in a Mason-Dixon poll released Sunday. Baes had 40 percent.
Libertarian John Monds had 6 percent support. Seven percent were undecided.
