ATLANTA --- Candidates who have been attacking one another through the final weeks of the primary threw few jabs during their last gubernatorial debates Sunday night.
The Democrats concentrated on education and passenger rail service as their top priorities. The Republicans offered various tax cuts and vowed to trim government spending.
The separate debates were sponsored by the Atlanta Press Club and broadcast statewide by Georgia Public Broadcasting.
The Democratic debate included all seven candidates, Thurbert Baker, Roy Barnes, Bill Bolton, Carl Camon, Randal Mangham, DuBose Porter and David Poythress. Of the Republicans, Jeff Chapman, Nathan Deal, Eric Johnson, Ray McBerry and John Oxendine attended, but front-runner Karen Handel and long-shot Otis Putnam opted not to attend.
