Al, Sorry that you got banned before I could reply to this speculative pile of tripe. I've lived here in Georgia most of my 36 years. Since the author obviously wasn't interested in the real reasons why the dims got voted out,which would distract from his premise of voter fraud, I'll take the time to explain.
First, Roy Barnes was tossed mainly because he pissed off the school teachers. He got elected the first time on a promise of giving teachers raises, and then renigged on that promise. He was quoted in the AJC as saying,"We can win without the teachers vote, let them eat cake." Not a smart move on King Roy's part, as the results indicate.
My Father grew up in the town of Mableton, where Roy is from. Roy has always been an elitist, pompous ass. He got what he deserved.
Secondly, like Cynthia Mckinney, Max Cleland got voted out because his vote record leaned toward the extreme left of democratic views, while he tried his best to portray himself as another Zell Miller, who you notice is still in office.
If you knew anything about the state of Georgia and her citizens, you'd know that we are an America loving bunch, with many citizens that have served or are serving our nation. Just about every small town has some kind of memorial to war dead located in their town squares.
If you watched any coverage of the Iraq war, you've heard about the 3rd ID, which led the invasion of Bagdad and is located in Georgia. You would've seen Captain Chris Watkins flying the flag of the Georgia Bulldogs while sitting on the steps at one of Saddam's palaces.
If you would've been here in Douglas county when pow Ronald Young came home and seen the celebration given in his honor at the local high school football stadium which pretty much shut the whole town down that Friday evening. I've never seen that stadium as full as it was that evening.
Knowing that us Georgians love our nation and those that serve it, it doesn't take a political science major to figure out that 9-11 helped turn the tide over to the republican side of the ailse, like the rest of the country.
Next time, save yourself the trouble of looking like a dumbass and just ask us. We're really a friendly bunch, and don't mind telling people how we feel.
Have a good day.

THAT'S why GA went Republican this time.Amen. That and also the extreme jihad leftists like Cindy McNinney and her father whose time was up, thanks to our underground movement to dethrone them and a whole lot of fed up, patriotic US citizens.

((((((Dansangel!))))))I could tell of a certain area in Texas that withheld the totals until it was seen how many votes LBJ needed to beat Coke Stevenson in his first race for Congress.The margin was so narrow the nickname for LBJ became "Landslide Lyndon"

...thanks to our underground movement to dethrone them and a whole lot of fed up, patriotic US citizens.... Needs a comma - did not want this to read that the patriotic ciotizens were dethroned, too - but that they helped *do* the dethroning.
I need coffee.....

Ah, but do you think the *other side* would listen? It would be dismissed as the rantings of the vast right wing conspiracy! LOL!!

In my defence this issue is not really a partisan one... everyone left or right needs their votes counted.Excuse me, are you a U.S. citizen? Or a Georgia resident?
