So, Mike Berlon, here's the first chance for your leadership of the Democratic Party to be tested in public damage control. I wish you better luck in Georgia than you had in Ohio with your time with Jerry Springer. Burning my ACLU card and bra. I’ve heard just about all the rumors coming out of Gwinnett.

Something the Speaker, the Governor, the Lt. Governor, the President et al have never done. Gator,

How about enforce the laws and tell the truth?

It ain't my intention to be overly critical or anything, which is why I'm basing this on what is definitive and not rumors like those circulating around involving 'delaying elections' and what-not like that. It's an important election for the party, and as a Democrat, I want to make sure we get a proven guy (or gal) who can give us focus, direction and bring the necessary skills and resources to the table. All that in mind ... I like Kidd more than Berlon.

Although I do wonder why anyone would willingly sign up for the constant sniping that a party chair gets. It’s obvious that Jmac hasn’t spoken with Mike about his plans.

I think these rumors and whatnot are nothing more than posturing by people who know (and fear) that Mike Berlon will shake up the party and the way things have always been done. His platform and ideas for the DPG are spot on, and it seems his opponents can do nothing than snipe. Even DeKalb had to have two meetings before quorum could be reached to hold party elections!
