The executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee said that the Georgia race for U.S. Senate between Republican David Perdue and Democrat Michelle Nunn “tightened up.”
The executive director, Rob Collins, made those comments to reporters on Thursday. Collins’ comments come after a pair of recent polls showed Nunn either ahead or tied with Perdue.
Both the NRSC and its Democratic counterpart, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, have recently announced pouring more money into the race. The NRSC has also poured money into South Dakota where Democrats are trying to give Democrat Rick Weiland a late-inning boost.
“Candidly, we view that strategically in South Dakota and Georgia as similar to things we’ve done in the past where we’re kind of getting to the end of the campaign, and we’re a little anxious, start believing rumors and looking at polls differently and say ‘Well, why don’t we put some money in here and maybe we’ll shift the dynamic,” Collins said according to Roll Call.
Perdue, according to Collins, has to increase his name recognition. Collins said he still expected Perdue to win the race.
“I think we’re gonna get there, we still have 20 days, and like I said, I don’t want to sound like we’re down and desperate,” Collins added, according to Roll Call. “We’re up. It’s just we want to win this and put our candidate in a position to either win in November” or win in a runoff.
The TPM Polltracker average gives Nunn a 1.1 point lead over Perdue.
Nunn is up by 5 or 6 points. It’s not a good idea to go on national tv and proclaim you are proud of your record of costing unemployment in America.
Nope, buddy, that was your anal sphincter.
Romney landslide
