Game-Changer in Georgia?

++Ed Kilgore likes to flirt with the different takes on what affects elections. You can go the political science route or the traditional politicos. This time Kilgore sees two candidates that can generate game-changing gaffes. The first is GOP candidate in Iowa,Joni Ernst, whose past positions are bizarre to say the least and David Perdue, who escaped the Georgia primary defeating right-wing gaffe masters.

++Perdue has billed himself a job creator, a businessman who knows international affairs. One of his primary missions in his business was to outsource Georgian jobs abroad. Perhaps, not the hottest issue now but he has compound the issue by saying "he's proud" of the job he did in outsourcing. Michelle Nunn leapt on this. 

++Perdue in the latest polls has a 1 to 2 pt lead over Michelle Nunn. This is all before he's hit by the avalanche of ads on his outsourcing. Kilgore may be right--this may be a game-changer.
