Ralph Reed needs to be out of the public sector forever. Can I be more clear?
Ralph needs to run just so the voters can b*tch-slap him a few more times.
Ralph can bring casino gambling to Georgia! That will help our funding problems!
I’m running away. Does that count?
Good rundown, Buzz. Confirmed a lot of what I’d been hearing. Thanks.
Wow Greg Howard is back. Good lord. I guess he can never get enough.
Great list Buzz. I’ve been wondering about all those races.
So are any Democrats running in any of those races?
I think I know the answer.
Until they commit a crime or get arrested, PP won’t acknowledge them.
None have announced but if they do I’ll put a link to it.
No different than the GOP opposition that John Lewis receives every election.
Uh…they are open seats, not a quixotic quest to unseat one of the highest ranking members of the House. Not anywhere near close.
Steffini Bethea is running in 106 for the Democrats.
Thanks sndeak.
