Election Demographics Hitting Georgia?

Why Democrats Now Have a Shot in Georgia (Nate Cohn) from the New York Times
"Georgia might well be moving down the same road as Virginia. No other plausibly competitive state — not Nevada or Virginia, not Colorado or North Carolina — has had a change in the racial composition of the electorate that’s as favorable for Democrats. That’s giving Georgia Democrats hope that they might win a race that they almost certainly would have viewed as a lost cause only a few years ago."
A definite Nuggetsman I-told-you-so moment!  I have been writing here for several years now that a demographic wave is headed towards states such as Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and, yes, Georgia -- southern states that leaned Republican or were safely in the GOP camp but facing a wave of browning Americans who would EVENTUALLY turn those states purple or even blue.  Virginia and Colorado are already moving in that direction and now in Georgia it looks like EVENTUALLY may be arriving!
