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.

There are still some Georgia Crackers that are upset with him for turning his back on our so called "Dixie Flag" but I think that would be a plus in the rest of the country.

There are very few single issues that would stop a person from being President and not fully supporting and up or down vote for The Confederate Flag isn't one of the.

Like President Reagan, Gov. Purdue left the Democrat Party. Sonny Purdue is a regular guy that has real beliefs and feelings but doesn't try to proselytize. I'm proud to have voted for him. Remember, there is another Georgia Politician and former Governor and Senator that has our hearts and the nation's pulse, Zell Miller.

Both Cathy Cox and Mark Taylor make me want to poke my eyes out and pour molten lead in my ears.

I think the better candidate is one state to the west of Perdue. The simple fact that he came away with the victory he did, when 2 years ago everyone had written his political obituary, proves that he has the mantle to be President.

Besides, we elected a President from Georgia once, and as I recall, didn't work out too well.

Well, I am no "cracker", and I think he absolutely broke his campaign promise. There should have been a vote on ALL the choices. That said, I would vote for Sonny for President.

I can see what Mark Taylor is for (yuck) but Cathy Cox's commercials don't tell me what she's for, just that MT is a liar. What is she for? I'll have to look up and see what party she is associated with.
I vaguely remember her doing something bad, but don't remember any details.
