Democrats Enjoy Success Nationally, While Democrats In Georgia Continue To Suffer

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?"
