About the Georgia Senate Primary (Republican) runoff (Original Post) Dawson Leery May 2014 OP
What runoff? Glitterati May 2014 #1
If no one gets to 50.1%, a runoff election will occur. Dawson Leery May 2014 #2
It's actually 50% + 1 Glitterati May 2014 #3

1. What runoff?

The primary election is May 20th. Early voting is underway now.

As for the winner, I'd say it's Karen Handel or Paul Broun. Purdue isn't even going to make a runoff.

to avoid a runoff, but the whack job crazies are all voting for Handel because they're terrified of Michelle Nunn.

The Tea Party really wants Broun, but none of them are rooting for Perdue.

by about 8-10 points over Kingston and Handel, with Broun well behind. I hope your crystal ball is better...Nunn polls ahead of Kingston, Handel and Broun but very close to Perdue.

Handel is polling better than Gingrey and Broun for third place.
Perdue and Kingston are now flooding the airwaves with attack ads against each other.
So, their intenals must show what marist/nbc poll showed.

Im rooting for Kingston to get the nomination.
LOVE to see Michelle Nunn face that wackadoodle in a debate.
