Why?
LOL! If Perdue looked like Mitt Romney, he'd have a shot.

I remember when he took office, people in the state goverment where all up in arms because of the firm stand he took on waste. We survived and I like the fact that he never waivered in spite of the pressure from the pro illegal groups regarding the new law. I never actually thought of him as president but now that you mention it, sounds like something to consider.
I love the guy, but I doubt he's electable at the head of a presidential ticket. I wish he would move to Florida and run against Nelson since they don't have any winnable opposition to him down there.
He looks like a decent guy
I recall the exact same thing being said about Spiro Agnew
How did that work out?
Also has a credibility problem. Namely, he built his 2002 campaign around one issue, an issue that won him normally Democratic rural areas of the state. That was, a vote on the 1956 flag. This was one of the first things he turned his back on. Politicians who don't support said flag would still use it against him in a primary because it showed he was willing to say something to get elected, while once in office, doing the opposite.
Thanks for the good posts and "take no prisoners" position.
Dems do like some southerners, just not conservative. They love "Sheets Byrd".
Jeff Sessions I think is someone we should all take a good look at along with the Georgia Gov.
Washington ComPost? Dude, c'mon. You're better than that.
Dude, how many do you want me to post? I asked where you got your idea that he was popular. Find me a poll were he has 50% approval. Heck, show me 40% approval. Don't get me wrong, I like Cheney, but I'm not drinking your Kool Aid. Cheney appeals to the core GOP base, that's why he's not going to go much lower than the ~20% he currently enjoys, but that doesn't translate to winning the presidency.
Very interesting. Is he thinking of running?
He has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much baggage and is still far to easily demonetized by the Dems.
We love Sonny down here in the town where he is from. Of course our few thousands are not quite enough to elect him as president!
But Sonny's a good governor.
Thanks for your input. Not being a Georgian, I really don't know much about him, but he looks like one of the
good guys", from what I've read on this thread.
Why?
Because prices are set by supply and demand, not costs. Cutting taxes in that environment (when prices are regulating demand in line with tightened supply) would only increase the profits in the gasoline supply chain, not reduce prices. I'm all for lower taxes, but let's not advocate them under false presumptions. That Georgia joined the chorus against 'gouging' in gasoline prices after the gas pipelines to the southeast were shut down in the wake of Katrina tells me Purdue doesn't get it, or is happy to play off the general ignorance of the public. Neither are particularly attractive.
Not so hot actually. He ended up resigning in disgrace as part of the Watergate mess. Tells you how old I am, right?
LOL! Say that out loud.
HILARIOUS! GW Bush is a southern Republican. He is no conservative.
hey why not? there is no doubt that our governor is a conservative and will always be of that mind.the bill against the illegals was a sounding success here in georgia.when purdue beat then governor barnes the local libs just could not swallow that. man it made for great tv on election night.
