From the Augusta Chronicle:
So instead of storming someone else’s castle next year, he’ll be defending his own and run for re-election as lieutenant governor.
Cagle’s emotional withdrawal from the governor’s race was a temblor in Georgia politics, and is shaking up the political landscape like you can’t believe. He was, after all, the leading money-raiser and a consensus Republican frontrunner in the race to replace term-limited Gov. Sonny Perdue.
Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine and Secretary of State Karen Handel now seem the frontrunners in the gubernatorial sweepstakes, although others are expected to jump in. House Speaker Pro-Tem Mark Burkhalter may take the dive on the Republican side.
