5. He's the person responsible for the "47%" video that took the wind out of Shitt Romney's campaign.

Say what you will about dynasties, but he's earned it. GA needs somebody who can cut through and be heard and if it takes the Carter name for that to happen thats fine by me. Considering the right wing opposition from both the establishment Republicans and the Tea Baggers, he's gonna need all the support he can get. I mean some places in GA during election season people put John Birch Society signs on their front lawns. But the demographics are shifting to our favor and against the rightwingers.

GA is the crown jewel of the GOP empire, as it has a lot of republican seats and a lot of GOP power and money. Just look at the shady deals our governor is making and all the resources the corporations are moving here. If we can defeat Nathan "Shady" Deal and start turning House seats here that momentum will reverberate throughout the South.
