What's your call? Kasim Reed says we're headed for runoff

Our AJC colleague Katie Leslie caught up with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed as he voted this morning. Reed predicted extra innings in the contests for U.S. Senate and governor:

"I think that both of them are probably headed for runoffs. I think Michelle Nunn has an opportunity to win it outright. But I think both of them are going to be headed to a runoff."

Additionally, the mayor was asked if he thought there would be much difference between working with a Gov. Nathan Deal than with a Gov. Jason Carter. Replied Reed:

"Not for me. I can't, three or four years later, make up facts that don't exist. The fact of the matter is, I've had a cooperative relationship with the governor of the state. So I can't get up here and act like it was some tough relationship. I think what people crave is authenticity. They just want you to tell the truth."
