Georgia Senator Sam Nunn, says the Obama Biden Ticket has an uphill battle in Georgia. Susanna Capelouto reports.
In a phone conference with Georgia reporters former Senator Sam Nunn praised Joe Biden’s foreign policy record and called him an excellent choice. He said Biden will help Obama win in November. But for Obama to carry Georgia, Nunn says work has to be done. He says it’s not enough to get the young people and African Americans to the polls in record numbers…
“Senator Obama has to identify and have a great deal of support from blue collar and white collar worker.” Nunn says. “Young people and the minority vote will not carry the state.”
Obama has set up over 25 offices throughout Georgia, a sign that he’s planning to fight for the state. As for his own chance at being named VP, Nunn said the Obama campaign never told him he was a contender for the job.
