Jason Carter Should Redirect Campaign
State Senator Jason Carter, the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, should fight his Republican opponent on the economy and the Affordable Care Act and focus less on education. Thousands of Georgians, especially in rural areas, still don't have jobs. Republican Governor Nathan Deal has improved the job picture in metro Atlanta but not in the rest of the state, which must be pointed out. The unemployed lack health insurance and should be enrolled in Medicaid as authorized by the new healthcare law, which Nathan Deal outright opposes. Virginia's Democratic governor Terry McAuliffe built his 2013 campaign around such issues and won the election by not being intimidated by Republicans. Yes, education remains high among voters in Georgia's 2014 governor's race, but not as much as employment and access to decent medical care.
