Barnes remains in the lead in polls for the governorship on the Democratic side.
Oxendine remains in the lead in polls for the governorship on the Republican side.
Why has there been so little dynamism in either primary?
Well, perhaps its the fact that in a prolonged race less is going to happen in the early portions of the race.
Perhaps it is the fact that there is a perceived fundraising capability disparity between Barnes and Oxendine and their respective opponents.
Most likely? That Georgia primaries require name recognition, and Oxendine and Barnes share a long presence on Georgian ballots.

Greetings All,
I love speculation on the upcoming Governors race here in Georgia, especially this far in advance of the primaries. Over here at the secret underground Libertarian Command Center (LCC) we've demoted the Ox to "also ran" status in all calculations due to the presence of Nathan "Sparky" Deal on the republican side of the contest. Nathan will bring major cash hammers into play that the Ox will not be able to match. According to the AJC, Deal raised over $500,000 at his first fundraiser in Gainesville when he announced and Ox recently had to give $120,000 back to his insurance company buddy. Sure, the Ox is way ahead of poor old Karen, but neither one of them will be able to best Nathan in their primary next year.
Our giant Elect-O-Tron mainframe computer also predicts that King Roy Barnes will be the winner of the democrat primary, although turn out will be abysmal for this off cycle election. It's hard to get excited about left overs.
And that brings us to the really big story, the only thing worthy of speculation at this point is how big a percentage of the electorate is going to vote for the Libertarian Candidate for Governor John Monds in the general election. 5%? 10%? 30%?
