ATLANTA AP – Out-of-power Georgia Democrats gathering for their annual Jefferson Jackson fundraising dinner Tuesday night are eyeing a comeback in the 2010 elections. And the star of the show is the man who’s keeping the party guessing with Hamlet-like wavering about whether he’ll run: former Gov. Roy Barnes.
Ousted by Republican Sonny Perdue in 2002, Barnes, 61, has been flirting very publicly with whether to jump into the 2010 race to reclaim his old job. Most political experts agree that if Barnes enters the crowded field, he’d become the immediate front runner for his party’s nomination.
