Peanut Politics, a conservative Democratic blog, writes: "The Democratic Party of Georgia, the House & Senate Democratic
Leadership really need to do some serious soul searching. Way too many
seats went unchallenged this election cycle, weak infrastructure &
organization continue to plague the party & the disconnect with
Rural Georgia has gotten wider."
It continues its commentary: "Two years from now, all statewide offices will be up for election. As I
mentioned before, President [Obama] got 45% of the vote, down from 48% in 2008,
but Democratic [c]andidates here in a off election year only manages [sic] to
top out at 40-42% & that comes from Urban Centers such as Macon,
Savannah, Metro Atlanta, etc. The challenge for the party is to find a
John Barrow style Democrat who can appeal to Independent-Conservative
leaning voters, while holding on to the party base, which is a difficult
thing to do, but Barrow proved that it can be done. But are there any
John Barrow type Democrats left in Georgia?"
Democrats Enjoy Success Nationally, While Democrats In Georgia Continue To Suffer
