The Governors first speech

Georgia Governor-elect Nathan Deal gives the closing address at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government's Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators at the University of Georgia on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 in Athens, Ga.

The Governor-elect came to UGA to make his first post-election speech.





For those playing the home game, that's Rep. Doug McKillip of Athens sitting in front of the podium. McKillip switched parties earlier this month.
