I assume Congressman Deal gets to keep his title. Does anyone know the protocol on that? I'm busy or else I would look it up.

There are still other cost to be considered: hiring staff to work for a day, not to mention any early voting, which will vary from county to county. There may also be legal notices that need to be ran in every county newspaper. There are no printed ballots except for absentees and maybe provisional ballots.

Your right Graves has made some money just not enough like Hawkins has to be able to put into his own campaign because he has having trouble keeping up with the field. Oh and about Tom traveling the country to fight for conservative causes... well he is doing both. Fighting nationally and locally. The problem is when you just now have started attending tea party rallies its going to seem like Graves doesn't attend. He just wasn't at the first one you guys were at. What was it that your spokesperson said... "has had little contact with the tea party movement. “He’s not really associated with it at all,” said his spokesman, Steve Holman." And by the way if your going call us gravesbots attackers and misleaders remember there are more of us than there are of you guys. Josh, so did your guy give money to Max Cleland?

When you attack, you had better be ready to back up your assertions. If you want to compare candidate contributions, especially when you take them out of context, your guy better have actually done something. Don't try to act like your candidate is some regular Joe who's never made any money. There just isn't any record of him giving any of it to Republicans. And about his traveling the country 'speaking on behalf of the conservative cause,' I applaud him for that, along with the mile-long list of others who spoke at the same events. It's not hard to get those gigs. Btw, we and your claimed Tea Party movement folks missed him a couple weeks ago in South Hall. I guess the DC speaking engagements mean more than the local ones. Lots of other candidates felt it was important enough to come. All you Gravesbots know how to do is attack and mislead. My point? When you attack, you had better be ready to back up your assertions.

Not everyone is a rich, GOP Johnny come lately, able to put hundreds of thousands of dollars into his own political ambitions while having funding the likes of liberal Max Cleland.

Graves has walked door to door supporting numerous Republican candidates, and has traveled the country speaking on behalf of the conservative cause.

What’s your point?
