The fact that you need a majority in a runoff election to win office in Georgia, rather than simple plurality, helps explain this phenomenon.

Georgia definetly figures prominently into the third-party landscape. Lester Maddox, Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr, etc.

Three (Chuck Baldwin, Pensacola, Florida).

Hillary Clinton was a Southerner for a while, but then she has also been a northeasterner or midwesterner much of her life as well.

What’s left of the water in Atlanta after the drought, you mean.

Interesting that this is the first election since the 80′s without a southerner running for one of the two so-called major parties, and here we are with two southern third party candidates.

There’s something in the water in Atlanta.

Coca Cola residue, to be sure, but you can’t dispute it’s there.
