Ga. gubernatorial candidates canvassing state; Deal to wrap up campaign in G'ville

By The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) The candidates for Georgia governor have been on the campaign trial since early Monday morning for a final day before Tuesday's election, encouraging supporters and trying to convince undecided voters in the close race. <br /> <br /> Republican Gov. Nathan Deal started the day with a press conference at the Capitol in Atlanta, where he announced the state had been ranked tops in the country to do business for the second year by a trade publication. Deal is flying around the state with other GOP candidates. <br /> <br /> Deal will wrap up his day at home in Hall County. The governor is scheduled to land at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport at 7 p.m. as his final campaign stop before the Tuesday election.<br /> <br /> Democrat Jason Carter says the timing is all politics, and a magazine ranking doesn't match the experience of Georgia families. He has hammered Deal on the state's unemployment rate being ranked highest according to federal statistics. <br /> <br /> Carter plans to spend the day in metro Atlanta, including stops with civil rights icon John Lewis. <br /> <br /> <i>WDUN's B.J.
