been somewhat teflon-free of losing to brian kemp. you don t hear much of that. at least publicly, you hear in atlanta, atlanta metro and georgia as well, around the country as well, you hear about her great success at getting people to the polls. . you bring up something that hasn t been mentioned historically, rematches, it s a tough thing to do, but you re right, she does not have that scent of, quote, loser. no, she doesn t have any of that at all. you don t have to be chuck todd to know that this battle between david perdue and brian kemp is a wild card here. what does that look like for republicans as they head into november, what are the ramifications of this, which is clearly going to be a knock-down, drag-out kind of battle? what upside is there for republicans?
are there enough votes there? that s the big question that we don t know the answer to. looking at the secretary of state s website it doesn t break it down precinct by precinct. we don t know how much of the vote is out there. if karen handel runs into second place and makes to it the runoff on the 22nd of july poses some problems for her campaign. even though she s endorsed by sarah palin and erjiic ericson she s had a problem raising money. david perdue has no problem of raising money. she could be in a great disadvantage when it comes to flooding air waves with those all-important ads she has to run. so jack kingston probably better positioned to run head-to-head against david perdue but when it comes to an election sometimes you got to reach deep and you pull up and do what you have to do to get the money. tonight it looks like david
perdue will go the runoff election on the 22nd whether it s kingston or handel. i got to tell you it s very frustrating how slow it is for these results to come in. it looks like we may not know until after 11:00. it s funny, john, i m looking at the results. we got 30% for david perdue and jack kingston by my measure was up 27,000. that s a lot of ground to make up. reporter: it is. don t forget turn out very, very low in this election, running about 10% to 12%. again, what s frustrating for from us an analysis standpoint the secretary of state s website doesn t break the voting down by precinct. the fact that the ap call it for david perdue to go to the runoff suggests maybe there. we ll have to wait and see. people are on pins and needles.
brainer. but michele nunn is running very strong in a lot of polls she s ahead of everyone, except for maybe david per dur but they flip back and forth. republicans down here in georgia have been saying we got to make sure we get the right person to go up against michele nunn in november, hence the reason why there was a lot of hand wringing when paul broun appeared to be the early front runner. at the moment, sean, it looks like people who could cross over a number of different voting groups are out in the lead. jack kingston district is 28% african-american and he wins by a considerable margin every couple of years. so at this point looking like perdue and kingston will be duking it out. the question is how vitriolic will this race get. david perdue getting a lesson in election jargon. when asked if he favored revenue
doing so. it s not easy in a state like kentucky. particularly when you re the minority republican leader. georgia senate primary is not yet over. looks like no one cleared the 50% hurdle so the top two candidates which look like they may be david perdue and jack kingston they will have to go to a runoff in july. looking ahead to running up against the democrat. that s michele nunn and considered a very formidable democrat. democrats down in georgia hoped the republicans would nominate a tea partier that couldn t rhine. but the two are considered very mainstream. no need to look at the returns in arkansas. the two nominees have been known. mark pryor and tom cotton unopposed in their primaries and they have been trading blows. it s official. on to pennsylvania where the democrats primary for governor was a multicandidate brawl. business man tom wolf was accused of buying the election.
