About a third of Georgia’s precincts are in and Cagle has held a ten point lead. He is leading in urban areas and he is breaking even or leading in rural areas. He’s leading in his areas and he is leading in a lot of Ralph’s areas.
I’m going to call this race for Cagle now. Sure, things could change. But there has been a ten point lead all night. Cobb came strong for Cagle. Gwinnett is very close, but Cagle leads.
There seems to be no deviation between rural and urban counties.
The race goes to Casey. Does insider Advantage offer refunds?

If you think Reed people will unite behind Cagle then you are wrong and you have to realize that. Cagle can try to mend bridges but there is too much anger and there is no bridge to mend. There are Reed supporters like me that are out for revenge and nothing will change that. Reed was treated badly. I would rather have the Democrats in control of the State Senate.
Well, considering Casey Cagle is a christian conservative, I dont think he is going to have a problem with getting that vote. regular christians are going to forget about this by the time it matters and they are not going to vote for a democrat.
Cry me a river with Reed was treated badly. This is the guy that made a living trashing the hell out of others — in Republican primaries. He said alot of untrue things about Cagle as well. But not that talking sense matters to some of the Reed folks on here. They are always going to be victims, no matter what.
Philly — I know how you feel, being a Reed supporter, but do you really want to see a Democrat in that slot.
Give it a week or two without making vows and then think it over.
While I wanted Reed and did not agree with Cagle’s take, I would much, much rather see Cagle in the Lt. Gov slot than a Dem.
sorry, time will not my mind. There will be Reed supporters the will vote for Cagle. I do not think Cagle is better than Hecht . I would rather have a Democrat in office than Cagle. I think Reed supporters will, for the most part, be divided on supporting Cagle. Some may provide lip service to support Cagle but when they go vote that will be a different matter.
You guys are foolish to think otherwise. Did you really think Cagle could run the kind of campaign he did and there would be no fallout?
Hey UGAMatthew, it wasn’t that bad hanging out with a Georgia Tech grad for a few hours at the Cagle Victory Party? I am sure I must have enlightened your life somehow!
I think I speak for a good majority of the folks who attended the Cagle party, by saying we were not only ecstatic by the election results, but also pleasantly surprised that the race wasn’t as close as it was predicted to be. I think we were very prepared to be around all night!
It’s a long road to November, folks, but let’s hit the trail. It will be interesting to have a Republican to shake things up in the Lt. Governor’s position.
Sometimes I think the GOP doesn’t even need an opposition party, we do fine torturing ourselves. (*sarcasm*) The true measure of a our party’s strength is how they rise to master the moment when it does arrive – band together or fall apart? I would hate to be standing there come November and saying “I’m sorry folks, we just blew our chance at having a decent Lt. Governor because our party couldn’t get it together.” Hunting season on Casey is over, unless your a Democrat. It’s time to think like a team – we win together, we lose together.
I must have missed the bulletin…Jerry Keen was in CASEY’s corner???
Philly is a sore loser. So take your marbles and go home. And take all your CC church bulletins with you.
We have to reunite the Party and win the LG seat this Nov. And believe me Philly, we can do it WITH you or WITHOUT you.
Now go nurse that Kool-Aid hangover of yours and cheer up.
PQueen,
Nah, it wasn’t too bad; we just didn’t discuss football. Once you have a mutual on that…we’re doing fine. It was all really a good time.
Debbie, we know you’ll need some wound-licking times, but I beg of you not to a thorn in Cagle’s side. Can we ask that of you?
Philly, You missed the boat.
Cagle only won this big because he got a lot of those CC votes against Ralph. Without them, it would have been tough.
Debbie, when and where for the Steak?
Give Debbie some credit. Even though she does owe a whole lot of steak dinners and I’m hungry, she’s always said that she’d back the Republican candidate. She’ll get over this one in time and will be just as annoying to the Democrats as she’s been to us Cagle supporters for the past months.
nfire-
I don’t think Debbie is going to ride the Cagle wave like
you and the rest of the Good Ole Pep Boys. She will vote
Republican like me. That’s it. Don’t push it!
More than likely Debbie is with Karen Handel now.
As for me- I am directing my positive energy toward:
Sonny, Perry McGuire, Gary Black, and Cindye Coates.
These candidates excite me as much as Ralph Reed.
I know them all and can say they are the real deal.
Don’t you dare speak ill of my pics. They Rock!
I have already said I would always back the nominee of the party and that is Cagle. The bottom line is our worst Republican is better than the best Democrat.
The bottom line is helping Perdue should be everyone’s top priority. It is somewhat disturbing when I have a Reagan Republican school teacher ask me what is so wrong with Mark Taylor. Voters need to be reminded of all the good conservative legislation that Mark Taylor and Tom Murphy helped block before the GOP took over.
Ruth Chris?
I think its probably a good thing for Georgia that we didn’t elect the guy who spread the rumors about McCain, since Huckabee won his last primary and McCain is the nominee now.
Wasn’t there some kind of beef wager on this race? How did that work out?
I detect very few posts from GOPeach on this thread…this thread should be at least to 100 by now.
Icarus:
Poorly.
