Blogging to resume in earnest

Gosh Erick…..Your opinion of a “bad week” and mine are a little different……Just about everyone knows that you are an apologist for the Handel campaign, but at some point and time the credibility of Peach Pundit will come into question if you continue to post your non-objective opinions….You were completely out of the state while most of this went on so I’ll give you some of the details of Ox’s “bad week” from a Georgia Conservative’s point of view:

Sunday and Monday the AJC published two different stories designed to prevent Ox from becoming the next Governor of the state of Georgia. No matter how hard you try and spin it, the fact is that EVERY single Conservative in the state knows that the AJC is out for liberal Democrats and Centrist Republicans, leaving their attacks to Conservative Republicans.

Then, WSB-TV in Atlanta released an Insider Advantage/Majority Opinion Research poll that shows Ox with a 2-1 lead over his nearest rival, AND if you had both the the 3rd and 4th place finishers, they still don’t have enough support to beat Ox. (Oh yeah, Ox’s nearest competition is a man named Nathan NOT a woman named Karen…)

Ox’s “bad week” continued in Savannah where he won the Young Republican straw poll, the only one given over the weekend and also recieved the YR award for Legislator of the Year. He also had a VERY successful dock party that completely filled the dock to overflowing capacity. Oh yeah, he was also endorsed by the Georgia Huc-Pac blog……

(Something else worth noting at this point is that at the Convention dinner and breakfast, Ox had to add chairs to his table to handle his supporters…. It was really interesting at breakfast, the “Georgians for Handel” table was conspicuously EMPTY. Was there simply no support for her there or did her and her supporters have something better to do than listen to GOP Chairman Michael Steele? I’m just asking??)

John’s “bad week” also included the launch of a statewide radio blitz that is a positive ad that NEVER mentioned any of his opponents. He also went on to hire a statewide volunteer director and has announced that he has over 8 statewide grassroots coordinators that are either college students or just graduated from college.

LAST—but certainly not least–Oxendine entered the GOP Convention in Savannah as the FRONT-RUNNER…..and he left Savannah as the FRONT-RUNNER!
So much so, that Karen was doing flip-flops that would make John Kerry proud by Monday night. Did you catch her on WSB explaining to a reporter that her video was meant to be a joke and NOT an attack ad?

Erick, I know that it must be terribly painful that Handel is dropping like a martini glass on the Titanic…..and that Nathan Deal is now beating her…..and that it must be embarrassing that she is still in single digits in all of the polls….

BUT let’s be honest—–her HAIL MARY at the Convention simply did not work and blew up in her face!

One more thing, Erick….PLEASE keep us all informed about Ox’s “bad weeks”! My question is that if Oxendine continues to have “bad weeks” like this, how long will it take for Handel to read the handwriting on the wall and drop out??

Reality Check—-

Let me ask you something?? Which of the candidates do YOU happen to work for?? I know that it really befuddles you, and I know you are relatively new on here, but it might be a shock to you to find out that there are actual Oxendine supporters that post on Peach Pundit!

It seems that you are following the same pattern as some of the other partisan patrons of pessimism in that ANY positive words about Oxendine MUST be written by a staff member. Please keep lying to yourself if it helps you make it through the day……

Let me explain something to you RC: EVERYTHING I commented about above is public knowledge and requires NO inside information…..The AJC is still printed and read online but people other than Oxendine staff members. Channel 2 in Atlanta is not closed circuited only to Oxendine headquarters.
All of the other stuff can be read in Oxendines’ emails to his supporters.

Oh—except the observations about Handel’s absence at the Michael Steele breakfast. But that was witnessed by 7 or 8 hundred other people who cared to observe it.

So again I ask: Which single digit candidate are you employed by? You have to be a second tier candidate’s staffer to have nothing better to do than to TRY and throw rocks at the front runner.
