Republican campaign warhorse Carter Wrenn thinks Bev needs a miracle to come back.

““In politics, you never say never. Miracles happen, and Lazarus will raise from the dead. But I think she’s pretty close to a terminal condition politically,” Wrenn tells Politico.

Oh, really? This would seem to assume something like a clear, principled, consistent Republican alternative to Bevism between now and the next election. And I’ll give you another interesting scenario. Wonder of wonders, the GOP takes back even a part of the General Assembly next year. Perdue can then plead the obstruction case and tell her liberal base to either turn out for her or face getting locked of state government after 2012. A reach, but possible.

In other words, tons of stuff is still possible, including Bev developing an immunity to the current malaise.
