Clayton County is conservative (Newt's old district), but for some reason they just keep on electing Charley (they do elect other dems, but none like Charley)!
Yep, he's very much aware of Georgia law, but he's always been above the law in Clayton County (which is now very heavily populated by non-citizens, here legally or not).
He's mad all right, but the only thing Charley is mad about is that someone had the nerve to challenge him about this, not to mention having it written up in the local paper.
Clayton County was conservative, just like DeKalb County once was conservative. When the Fulton County ghetto reached the breaking point in the mid-80s, DeKalb County was overrun with blacks, forcing the whites farther out. The same thing has happened in Clayton County: Clayton was over 90% white as of 1980, under 75% as of 1990, and down to 35% as of the 2000 Census.
Conservative no more, unless it is somehow considered conservative to vote 65% for Al Gore.
Cobb, Douglas & Gwinnett Counties, still somewhat nice areas, are rapidly moving towards the same fate as DeKalb & Clayton. In metro Atlanta, Forsyth, Henry & Paulding counties (among some others) are the rapidly-growing, family-oriented areas, as the suburbs move farther and farther out (they have to; the "city" is moving farther out too, and has been for 20 years).

Silly me.
I'm honest, really I am.
