By Turks or Muslims one, according to the site. See a screenshot here.

Apparently, It Is Time For A Different Approach
August 15th, 2008 · 42 Comments
NewDayInGA/ConcernedHall and everyone else at IP address 71.91.137.xxx seem to feel the need to spam other threads to announce the candidacy of Christopher Strickland, (Here, Here, Here, Here, and Here, to name just a few).
Since the “When and Where Can I Find Out Where Paul Broun Will Be Sworn In” approach seems to have failed, I’ve [...]

It’s over the anonymous mailings law.
House Bill 1112 was passed on the last day of the 2008 legislative session and went into effect July 1. Under the law, candidates for state and local offices and other groups can now send out literature anonymously and be immune to liability.

August 8th, 2008 · 17 Comments
Sending out a press release *after* getting clobbered at the polls defining yourself and beating up your opponent for daring to win run aggressively.
Nancy Schafer has a case of sour grapes.
Her press release is below the fold.

Butterworth Wins
August 5th, 2008 · 11 Comments
Congratulations to Jim Butterworth for his victory. There were lots of missteps on the other side. Our sympathies are with the Schafer family given Mr. Schafer’s health situation, but Jim really worked his butt off here. It’s a shame it got as heated as it did.

Chip Rogers Won’t Run for Lt. Gov. Clears Path For David Shafer
August 4th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Just got this email. Given that Rogers and Shafer are usually allied, I expect this means that Shafer persuaded Rogers not to run against him:
Dear friends and colleagues,
The last two months have presented a number of political opportunities for many serving in public life. Recently, I have seriously considered a bid for Lt. Governor [...]

What’s up?
BTW, here is the mail piece in question.
UPDATE: CONFIRMED. The National Rifle Association has not endorsed Nancy Schafer for [...]

Sonny Perdue says he is neutral in the runoff in SD-50:
In the July 15 Republican primary, state Sen. Nancy Schaefer of Turnerville finished second to Jim Butterworth in the District 50 race — not a good sign for any incumbent.

Another Erroneous Endorsement

Nancy Schaefer claims Sonny endorsed her.
Sonny told Martha Zoller he did not endorse Nancy.
From a Butterworth press release:
Concerning Schaefer’s mailer, the Governor Perdue said, “It was unfortunate. I have not had any conversation with either of the three candidates regarding any kind of endorsements. Some people felt like I had chosen sides. [...]
