That can’t be right, Erick. But the business community hates Casey. Jim Galloway told me so.

Yup. It’s not really a race amongst candidates, it’s a race amongst money. And judging from how the state of Georgia is going, we the people keep losing.

whats the line on Ox having any money that is not from people he shakes down/regulates.

That being said, he’ll have a good bit of money as far as teh bottom line figure. he always does.

And Herman Cain walks into the race with $1 million!

Common GoPeach. …Herman sold you out by supporting pro abortion, pro gun control, pro civil unions Mitt Romney. Try and be a little consistent with the principles of your candidates.

“Poythress has $282,980.01 on hand after raising $304,045.00.”

Anyone else notice on Poythress’ disclosure that 60% of his “300k raised” is from a $185,000 loan. Seems a little early for such a high debt load.

Georgia deserves more than the empty rhetoric that Ox or Handel will deliver…… That is why we will not only get purity of conservative principles, but also practical improvement of how our government will function with Governor Cagle.

Whether the business community likes or dislikes Cagle is irrelevant. He is going to be the next governor…so pony up.

I told you, all of you, that Poythress and Oxendine are weak candidates. Like I also said, the Democratic frontrunner will emerge after this legislative session.

Yes, I always laughed at the insinuations that “the business community” was beating a path out to Marietta to get Ol’ Roy to run again (well, Otis Brumby was already there…….has anybody else bothered to tell Ol’ Roy that they want him to jump in again?) The only path that has seen any action is the path to get in line behind Cagle.
