It’s college stuff. It is also an example of why the Republican National [...]

Talk about cutting it close. Qualifying is now over. As of 11:45 and 5 seconds, the Secretary of State updated the qualifying page and did not have Congressman Jim Marshall listed.

I’ve mentioned Gary Black, Brian Kemp, and Deanna Strickland, but I’m pretty sure I have not mentioned Bob Greer running for Ag Commissioner. He is a known quantity, but his money is way down below Gary Black’s. Still, it is increasingly apparent that we are going to have a runoff in this race.

So, as I said last night, I practiced election law for five years and dealt with a lot of candidates’ campaign contribution disclosure reports. I starting digging through the statutes and rules to determine if what the Cagle Campaign did was wrong. To recap, Larry Peterson in the Savannah Morning News reports on [...]

Georgia Oracle, a new columnist at Georgia Political Digest, thinks we need an investigation into the Cagle charge. In his words:

Well, after the Savannah Morning News story came out about the $100,000.00 raised by the Cagle Campaign, the Reed campaign decided to attack on the merits. They issued a press release, which said in part:
“The Cagle ‘race team’ would be best served by observing the legal speed limit and obeying the law,

It is official, Secretary Cox and Lt. Governor Taylor are now officially candidates for Governor — both having waited until the last half of the last day to qualify.
