DALTON — Hard against the North Georgia mountains, Nathan Deal and Karen Handel took their disagreements to a new level Saturday in the first official debate of the runoff campaign for the GOP nomination as governor.

For Deal, it at times seemed like he had a hometown advantage. He represented this part of the state for nearly 18 years as congressman from the 9th District. Certainly many of the more than 200 packed into a ballroom of the new Holiday Inn & Suites had voted for him before.

For Handel, however, the 30-minute debate was an opportunity to make the case that the familiar isn’t always the best.
