ATLANTA — Gov. Nathan Deal questioned Democrat Jason Carter's leadership and faulted his legislative record, while Carter attacked the incumbent over a high unemployment rate and accused him of an ethics scandal. The sharpest exchange during the televised debate Sunday came after Deal was asked about a recent Carter ad focused on the governor's personal financial turnaround.
