I agree the teachers played a large role as well. Esp. since they are a group he could normally have counted on for large numbers. But see my post at 110 which addresses your point exactly.

The fact that King Roy was wallowing in money, felt he had the election in the bag, and was already preparing his run for President, illustrate the power of the flag. That is why Purdue's election was such an upset. The flag issue creeped up on everyone. BTW, Roy, who is a relatively "conservative" Democrat, changed the flag in preparation for his presidential run. To remove it as an issue and to beef up his liberal bona fides.

Your post #110 is purely speculation ("it is highly likely" is your opinion, not something you can back up with hard data.)

The "real" Georgia flag was the pre-1956 flag. The 1956-2001 was tainted by spite, as well as the fact that the battle flag has been used as a racist symbol, and the 2001 flag was tainted with political correctness, not to mention that it was about the ugliest flag in the U.S.A.

If you love the "old" Georgia flag so much, why isn't it on your FR homepage?
