“I think we may be a purple state in this election. I don’t believe we will go back to being purely red. And I think that’s true whether Sen. Obama carries or loses by a very short, small percentage.”
“When you are basically around them a good bit and you look and see which one would have the better judgment, which one would be calmer, and cooler and more collected when there’s a real crisis… I come down on Senator Obama’s side on that."
“… There are Republicans, Independents people who, on the conservative side of the ledger, who normally would not vote Democratic… but I think given this economic situation and given the competency that Senator Obama has displayed, and the capable leadership he’s displayed, and the calm demeanor that he’s displayed… all of those things are making a real impression on people.

Nunn: Georgia no longer a red state - now purple
Former Democratic Senator Sam Nunn said today Georgia’s political climate has changed, regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential race.
Nunn says it takes more than military experience to get his vote.
With some of his Republican friends feeling the same way, Nunn explains why they are leaning blue.
While he’s not interested in going back into government, Nunn says he would be “delighted” to serve as an advisor should Senator Obama win the presidency.
