Georgia on my Mind

Today is Election Day in Georgia. As everyone knows, the contest to watch is between former Christian Coalition executive director Ralph Reed versus state Sen. Casey Cagle. So what is at stake? What are the implications if Reed loses?

According to Hotline's "On-Call" blog:

Thanks to a certain disgraced lobbyist, this race has received much attention both in and out of the state. Beyond the obvious "rise-and-fall" narrative, a Reed loss would provide Dems (and the media) with the first loss or departure that can be directly tied to a scandal that so many had such high hopes for.

According to the AP, the GA Secretary of State is expecting very low voter turnout. Will this be good for Reed or Cagle? Hard to tell. As an outsider, my suspicion is that the lower the turnout, the better it is for Reed. Any thoughts?
