Jeremy Jacobs of the national blog Hotline On Call published two entries discussing the pathways to victory for Democrat Roy Barnes and Republican Nathan Deal.
For Deal, his path to the Georgia governor's mansion includes weathering the sotrm of unflattering stories in the press, making the campaign about Roy Barnes' first term in office and pulling 55% or better in the exurbs of Gwinnett, Cherokee and Forsyth counties.
For Barnes to win, writes Jacobs, he must court rural voters, make sure black voter turnout exceeds 25% and make the election about the corruption allegations against Deal as well as his less than favorable financial state.
