Democrats see a bright spot in Georgia. With polls showing a close race, Democratic candidate Michelle Nunn has the chance to win a seat currently held by a Republican, giving her party a much needed opportunity to preserve their majority in the Senate.

Like many Senate races around the country, Nunn must first overcome being tied to President Barack Obama who is unpopular in the state. She is doing that by switching her attention away from herself and highlighting her opponents background as a business executive.

Perdue has come under fire for saying in a deposition in 2005 that he spent most of his career outsourcing jobs, a phrase he recently defended.

As NBC News pointed out, thats a salient argument in a state with the highest unemployment rate in the country.

Thats right, under oath David Perdue admitted he spent most of his career outsourcing jobs overseas to places like China and Mexico, the narrator says in one of Nunns ads attacking Perdue.

Perdue, meanwhile, is now trying to reverse the stigma as a wealthy, out of touch executive. He released an ad Saturday that portrays him as someone who understands the challenges of the middle class while insisting Nunn doesnt.

Like you, David Perdue believes President Obama and Michelle Nunns policies are taking our country in the wrong direction, the narrator says.

The catch with Georgia, however, is that one candidate has to receive more than 50 percent of the vote on November 4th or the race goes to a runoff on January 6 after the new Senate is sworn in.

Polls are showing the race between Nunn and Perdue extremely close with both candidates polling in the mid 40 percent range. Third party candidate, Libertarian Amanda Swafford, is polling around 4 percent.

A gubernatorial race is also playing out in Georgia, also with a famous family name. Jason Carter, President Jimmy Carters grandson, is trying to unseat incumbent Republican Nathan Deal. Carter could get a boost from the get out the vote efforts and other resources national Democrats are giving to Nunn. But this race could go to a runoff, too.

In Georgia Democrats Have a Shot at a Win

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) Eight leading House Democrats called on the chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission to ensure corporate practices preventing whistleblowing will not be tolerated.

Led by Ranking Democrats of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and House Financial Services ranking Democrats, Rep. Elijah Cummings and Rep. Maxine Waters, respectively, the letter pointed out the success of the SECs Office of Whistleblower Protection, which they noted has led to more than 6,000 tips, complaints and enforcement functions.

But the letter addressed to SEC Chairwoman Mary Jo White also pointed to a recent Washington Post article, which said companies restricted employees ability to report misconduct at their companies.

We also are concerned by a growing body of anecdotal evidence describing retaliation through litigation and on-the-job harassment, which if left unaddressed, will also deter future reporting of securities violations, the letter said.

The letter said the use of such limitations run contrary to the rule set by the SEC, which says nothing shall impede communications to the Commission, including using or threatening to use a confidentiality agreement.

We urge the Commission to send a strong message to industry, including by bringing enforcement actions if necessary, that such acts will not be tolerated, the letter said.
