Husband and wife go for Georgia governor and lt governor

Husband-wife candidates raise interest and eyebrows in Georgia.

Pictured are Carol and DuBose Porter, the husband and wife team running as governor and lieutenant governor.

No one in Georgia political circles can recall a situation quite like this.

Thursday, Carol Porter of Dublin announced her candidacy for lieutenant governor, making her the first Democrat to enter the race against incumbent Casey Cagle, a Gainesville Republican.

Her husband, state House Minority Leader DuBose Porter, is seeking the Democratic nod for governor in the same election.

It could work out well for both because of the added free publicity their candidacies would generate.
