Scandal taints Georgia’s GOP governor as Democratic challenger surges in polls
Georgia’s Gov. Nathan Deal (R) is caught in an ever-deepening ethics mess as his popularity with Republicans dwindles and a rising Democratic superstar takes the lead in the 2014 gubernatorial race.
Raw Story spoke with Bryan Long, director of the progressive group Better Georgia, who said the governor has run out of ways to skirt the corruption charges that have dogged him literally since the day he was sworn in. Particularly, Long said, now that Deal’s own hand-picked “ethics investigator” has turned against him.
“Gov. Deal’s web of lies is collapsing,” said Long. “He’s trying to create distraction and a smoke screen. He wants the voters to think that this is so complicated that it’s not worth their thinking about it.”
