United States First lady Michelle Obama campaigned for Democratic Michelle Nunn in Georgia on Monday. According to reports, the first lady aims for Nunn to win a key Senatorial seat for the Democrats in the November election.

Mrs. Obama's visit to Georgia on Monday was aimed at boosting Nunn's campaign among women voters, the minority, and independents.

In addition, she tried to boost the voter registration effort led by Nunn's party in the state.

According to reports, Nunn's campaign strategy involves reaching out for the Georgians who do not vote to register and favor Nunn. It also reaches out to those who only vote during presidential elections.

The Democrats believe that with Mrs. Obama's help, the strategy will make a difference for Nunn's campaign.

This is the first time that the first lady joined the 2104 campaign for the November election, reports said.

Tharon Johnson, a Democrat strategist, said that Michelle Obama was more popular than the president in some states during the presidential re-election campaign in 2012.  

Johnson, who led President Barack Obama's campaign in the South, added that Mrs. Obama "generates an enormous amount of support from women and will bring the topic of public education to the forefront of campaigns in Georgia."

However, Nunn underscores her independence from President Obama on certain issues, like carbon emissions, reports said. This is to counter the Republicans' negative propaganda about her. 

For instance, David Perdue constantly campaigned against Nunn by connecting her to Obama, including the negative issues surrounding the president.

His spokeswoman Megan Whittemore said that Nunn is deceiving Georgians "about her true allegiance to President Obama and Harry Reid."

The president, apparently, is not popular in the state. He lost in Georgia in the 2008 and 2012 elections.

The Democrats hope to turn the table in Georgia where the Republicans occupied every office in the state in 2010.

Meanwhile, the Senate is currently controlled by the Democrats with 55 seats, but recent polls suggest that the senatorial race is tight for the November election.
