Nunn says Georgia is in play for Obama & praises Biden as V.P. pick

The Associated Press reports:

Former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn said Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama faces an uphill fight in the state. But Nunn told reporters in a conference call Wednesday the state is in play.

Nunn disputed Georgia Republicans' argument that Obama's pick of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate will hurt him in the conservative South.

Nunn said Biden will help Obama with blue and white collar middle-class workers.
