Clearly, we here at Handel pundit must start going after Johnson. The Ox is gored and the Deal. is. Done.
Where’s that intern?
Still backing the man with 3 votes.
Don’t you know that you’re supposed to be sniping on behalf of your Pundit Overlords?
Darn, if only I could have gotten away so I could have come and voted along with other Karen supporters in my sphere, like my mom, my son, his wife, and maybe one or two of my boyfriends that are for Karen, we could have turned the tide so Karen could have won. All of us are true Handel supporters. I’ve stop seeing the boyfriends supporting the others.
LOL
WOW! How many boyfriends have you gone through this election cycle?
Just a couple of the less intelligent ones. My favorites like and support intelligent women and don’t try to marry me because I prefer not being married.
I voted Johnson, Sheffield, Wood, Everson, Woods, Black, Echols, MacGinnitie
I love a good horse race or two.
Deal easily Beat Johnson and Handel in the 10th district straw poll in Towns county. Deal got 59 votes and Johnson came in second with 46. The amazing thing is that Nathan was not even there, while his opponents, as usual, bused in voters.
If anyone was bussed in, give the campaigns credit because everyone there besides the candidates certainly looked to be a YR.
It also would have required a lot of hassle and expense, as only delegates and alternates received ballots. To be one of those, you would need to first buy membership to one of the YR clubs in the state, then plunk down an additional $20 for a ticket to the convention itself.
The problem with his statement is it isn’t true.
The one bad thing is some of the down ballot candidates spoke after the votes had been turned in because of time constraints.
I have no where to go but up in the polls.

If you hang out here long enough, that won’t happen.
I seem to remember Austin Scott either winning or finishing one vote short of first place at the last Young Republicans straw poll. With Austin out of the race, the YR’s are picking through the carrion left in this race and learning that the Georgia GOP ain’t all it’s cracked up to be…
Expect Barnes to carry the the 18-30 demographic by a wide margin — especially if Nathan Deal or Oxendine win the nomination.
I will agree with that. Unless Handel or Johnson win. Then it might be a toss-up.
Handel has the best shot in the general… That’s why the PPers love her so much.
She’s still a lousy candidate for anyone who has the ‘future of Georgia’ ahead of ‘the future of the Georgia GOP’ on their priority list.
Why? What are the reasons for your statements?
My answer would be that the “future of Georgia” is going to require more vision and dynamism than Mrs. Handel has displayed so far. The same could be said for ALL of the Gov. candidates in the field right now.
The “future of the Georgia GOP” is going to be a civil war between the moderates and the cranks.
Wow, people are actually supporting Preston Smith for AG.
Why does it say “Other (3)”? Can’t they list the “Other”? They listed “Chapman (3)”.
