Don’t forget innuendo and rumor. They like to be heard as well.

I’ve heard both conjecture and speculation.

I agree. All I’ve ever heard about this is conjecture.

I tried pouring sugar on it, but the truth still hurts.

Pirate -

Cagle is a lightweight who has tanked his once promising political career over a not very discreet inappropriate relationship.

Now I haven’t been around Georgia politics forever, (and yes I have heard of these rumors), but I don’t understand the claims some folks are making on here. I heard of these rumors about 6 months ago – and there hasn’t been any evidence yet. Time to move on. I voted for Cagle in 2006 and (since I doubt he will drop out) will vote for him again in 2010.

Once again a pathetic commentary based on nothing more than pure speculation, rumor mongering and innuend,period.Give it up Erick,as much as you would like for your desires to become reality,its not going to happen.Cagle is running and if there is someone who wants to primary him there is a process to do it,and its rather simple.
While blind speculation seems to be permitted I can guess who you are getting your Senate intel from and you may want to expand your contact base.
Just out of curiosity when the Gov race heats up and the knives come out against your chosen candidate are you going to allow this kind of garbage?I bet not.

Casey Cagle will be re-elected Lt.Gov,and this is based on a uptick of rumors Im hearing……..

I bet I could! I just wouldn’t do that well against many others who would run. However, depending who got in, I might not come in last. I’m not thinking about running for congress next year either.

No Doug you can’t run for LG!

Suggestion, why don’t you post the rules for PP under the tab “about peachpundit?” That way, new people can find the rules without seaching this thread.

And back to topic, anyone other than David S. showing interest in LG, if Casey drops out?

So did I. Good parents don’t let their children grow up to the Georgia Grads.

Interesting. Didn’t see anyone mention it, but Lt. Gov Cagle was at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s annual Congressional Luncheon at the Perry fairgrounds last week.

He delivered a great tribute to Georgia’s military. This was the first time I have seen him in person since his back surgery, and he seemed to move around well and he gave a great speech. He did stumble a bit in his speech a time or two but nothing major.

Some points of interest (though I’m not sure if this really matters)

1. I did not see him working the room before his speech. (Poythress, Porter, Deal, Hodges, Purcell, Isakson, and probably a few more I did not see were working the room)
2. I did not see any of his supporters (people wearing t-shirts or stickers) (I saw a few people in Deal’s t-shirts walking around and some of the other candidates had volunteers wearing stickers)
3. No campaign material was available.

Gerry Purcell was the only candidate there who actually had any campaign material, and he passed it out right outside the building, so maybe candidates could not pass out campaign materials.

Sure, he has no announced opponent but on his website he’s got pictures of volunteers wearing Cagle shirts at different events.

Summary:

Cagle is a lightweight who has tanked his once promising political career over a not very discreet inappropriate relationship.

And he’s so weak that when he had back surgery to most common response was – he actually has a spine?

The biggest loser here? Ralph Reed. How did Ralphie lose to this dishrag?
