4. I'm glad to see that another Democratic Woman who is not
afraid to open her mouth regarding what this administration does not get done.

I'm glad she's making a comeback.

"A well financed republican" who will also have the big lie machine up and running.

24. Davis is a complete nutcase
Not to say we should let down our guard, but she ran unopposed for the GOP nomination and got 4,000 fewer votes than Cathy Woolard, who came in third for the Dem nomination with 19%, did.

6. She was right about Bush and 9/11
and Michael Moore's F911 shows that McKinney was not "unstable" or an "embarrassment" for daring to say that 3 years ago.

Eat your heart out Zell Miller (and you too AIPAC).

11. McKinney is a far more formidible candidate this time
All of a sudden Cynthia seems more mainstreet. The reichwing might actually not want to quote her so much about 9-11 and the war on some terrorists this time around.

15. Good! I don't think the polling places
are gonna know what hit them on Nov 2..Alas!

I remember ol' jeb has some federal funds to improve voting down there but I heard he wasn't going to use them until after the election..that can't be right?

16. Here are the numbers
general election is only a formality...this district is overwhelmingly democratic.....unless the absentees are huge...no runoff is necessary...and Cynthia has won her seat back...will now be interesting to see if those in her district will vote and work for Majette who will be in a runoff with a white male (Cliff Oxford) in three weeks for dem U.S.Senate seat....I've also posted those numbers below....conventional wisdom is that neither Majette (black female) or Oxford can beat the repub (Johnny Isakson)...sigh...Georgia will probably have two repub senators to go along with our hick repub gubner....we ga dems have much work to do to turn this state back around.....

17. Has Isakson held any office before? I wonder what is in his closet
that might need dragging out.

20. I wonder who Zell will endorse
I recall him being very fond of Majette, supporting her in 2002. If it's Majette vs. Isaakson, is it safe to assume he'll either be neutral or endorse Isaakson?
