(ATL Mayor) Kasim Reed says on Nathan Deal "I believe he's going to be re-elected next year." and tells Dems not to challenge him  http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/may/29/your-daily-jolt-metro-atlanta-white-student-popula/

This is such ridiculous 2 timing by Reed, he is a corporate crook who does not need to be a "leader" in the party, given he is a closet Republican anyway. Deal has been terrible for the state, but Reed obviously doesn't care.

Michelle Nunn meeting Obama soon http://www.politico.com/story/2013/07/michelle-nunn-georgia-obama-94045.html

Also in the race for state Dem party chair, Dubose Porter, RJ Hadley, Mary Squires and Doug Stoner are all in full bore.

I'm backing Porter myself with Squires also acceptable, the other 2 have issues. Porter has enough fundraising juice I think to fix that part of stuff and he is one of the few who actually cares about reaching out to the rest of the state rather than arrogantly alienating it.  He can save the party and at least give them some semblance of outreach to the rural areas of the state.

Of course the latte drinking transplant Atlanta "liberals" don't like him for that, dislike his conservative social issue positions, so who knows if he will get anywhere.

Squires isn't bad but I don't see her having the recognition, network and fundraising to really improve the DPG standing, she is nice and moderate though with business background. (amusing note that Dubose ex-wife Carol Dodd Porter endorsed Squires according to an email that was sent out, I like them both still)

Stoner is too conservative for me and he just lost re-election, not sure what you gain with him, fundraising not great either, and he's an Atlanta metro person.

Hadley is not experienced enough, has little or no fundraising recognition that I know of, and is kind of divisive within the party.

Former State Senator Steen Miles has jumped in to the Senate primary race on the Dem side  http://wabe.org/post/miles-joins-growing-field-dems-2014-senate-race

Miles seems to be running to the left of Nunn, though GA Tea Party chair Debbie Dooley was there (mainly as part of that Green Tea Party coalition thing).

This psychiatrist guy is also running http://drradforsenate.com/ seems to have a moderate approach and sounds like a typical psychiatrist.

So in GA-04, what is Tom Brown running on against Hank Johnson?

As best I can tell, he hasn't really staked out any new positions or ones that would set him apart from Johnson. More than anything, I expect he wants to use his name recognition as sheriff of Dekalb to unseat a congressman that is traditionally thought of as being downright stupid. I got to see Johnson speak at Emory one time. He was all over the place, kept reading the same parts of paragraphs over again on his sheet of paper and was very uninspiring. Brown is much better at this.

Johnson got lucky that he was the one who got to face the even crazier and more frazzled Cynthia McKinney to get his congressional seat, his luck may well have run out this time.

With Handel and others like Price coalescing behind Kingston I feel like the runoff is sort of already over unless he makes a huge gaffe, Perdue made the mistake of antagonizing all of his primary opponents, so now they are all getting behind his opponent and their supporters will too, his money got him first place but he's not liked enough to win this because most of the non top 2 support is going to go to Kingston, or at least enough of a majority for him to win by some margin in the runoff.

John Barrow's accent is crazy and makes no sense at all to me.

I sound like John Barra and yes he has awesome ads, did in 2010 too

And the flip-side to bringing ol' Zig-Zag back into the mix...

Could they have found a woman to put in the commercial with more of a Southron accent? Roll Eyes

Well only a foolish UGA graduate would "trust" that corrupt clown Nathan Deal.. is all I garner from that, her education didn't teach her much
