The build up in the rumor mill over night was that a prominent Republican would denounce Ralph Reed and call for him to get out of the race. Former State Representative Bob Irvin has done just that.
I don’t know that “prominent” is an apt description of Bob Irvin. He is best known for the House Republicans dumping him as minority leader in favor of current Congressman Lynn Westmoreland and then losing to Saxby Chambliss in the 2002 Senate Primary. Give it to him, however, he is tenacious. With the whole of the state party and President Bush lining up behind Saxby Chambliss in 2002, Bob Irvin would not get out of the race.
it’s somewhat humorous then that Bob Irvin should expect Ralph Reed to listen to him when Irvin did not listen to Ralph Reed. Reed, along with the rest of the party, was rumored to have put lots of pressure on Irvin to get out of the Senate race in 2002. There is a history there that makes Irvin’s call today less credible.
Had the person calling on Ralph Reed been someone more prominent, the matter might be treated as more serious.

I don’t think Ralph would ever drop out of the race for the sake of the children.
No, Ralph loves the children.
He will make an excellent Lite Governor.
I think our hosts are weary of our acting like typical bloggers and yearn for the days of political discussion that bores the children to tears.
Dare I suggest a cease fire?
What’s wrong, Chris? Is Erick not initating ENOUGH interesting threads in the present time period?
Personally, I think this thread should be dedicated to the poor, suffering seniors out there. Not everything can be for the children.
This thread should be dedicated to the memory of anoter thread that I dare not name.
BTW, look out word, I have cable again.
Look out word?
Don’t know it.
The Look Out Word is…. world
Besides, seniors have a better voting history than the children.
