2. While I have GREAT admiration for Andy Young |
|
I think this is a very big mistake for several reasons:
1. Andy Young was recently diagnosed with cancer. The repukes will beat him to hell and back on his health.
2. Andy Young was removed from his post as Ambassador for faux paus remarks. In fact, he sparked an international incident. The repukes will hammer him to death with this.
3. Other than the 1996 Olympics, Andy Young has been largely out of the picture even in Georgia politics. The voters think of him as "retired." And few Georgians need to be reminded that the Olympics was not one of our most memorable moments.
All of the things above, while completely irrevelant to you and I, fellow DUers, will cause a republican to be elected to this senate seat - giving Georgia to the republicans completely.

3. The bad news: according to Greg Palast, Andy Young is on the |
|
board of Barrick Gold, a Canadian company that has done some nasty stuff in Africa (burying miners alive in the Congo) and hired Poppy Bush after he left office. That's supposed to be related, too, to his lack of support for Cynthia McKinney when she was targeted for defeat last year.
Worth checking out, anyway.
