Perdue Tries to Get Democrats to Switch, Not Fight
Channel 2 has learned that at least four Democrats are being courted by Republican Gov.-Elect Sonny Perdue to switch parties to shift the balance of power and swing partisan politics.
In a stunning GOP takeover of Georgia politics, Perdue unseated Democractic Gov. Roy Barnes. Saxby Chambliss overpowered Senator Max Cleland. Kathy Cox took the office vacated by Linda Schrenko. And Republican Bill Heath unseated the longest running Speaker of the House, Tom Murphy. Murphy became a member of the State House the year Bill Heath was born.
