Handel v. Deal is pretty disappointing. Even if one wins in November I can't see them doing much for the state. Maybe they'll stay out of the way and let the legislature lead.

I thought Eric Johnson's candidacy looked pretty good.

From Wikipedia:

Ethics

The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) lists Deal as one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress, for trying to influence officials for personal gain.[5] According to the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Deal "personally intervened with Georgia leaders to preserve an obscure state program that earns his company nearly $300,000 a year." The state funded DOR salvage inspection program is paid for with $1.7 million taxpayer dollars annually. This program makes use of two salvaged vehicle storage facilities (one in Gainesville and one in Hazelhurst) in which Deal is part owner. The state pays a $100 fee to Deal's businesses per car inspected at their site, this fee is the highest in the state.[6]

[edit]Office of Congressional Ethics report

Nathan Deal exceeded congressional limits on outside income and used his U.S. House office and staff to protect money coming from a no-bid state business deal.[7] On March 29, 2010, the Office of Congressional Ethics released a report concluding that Mr. Deal improperly used his office staff to pressure Georgia officials to continue the state vehicle inspection program that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for his family’s auto salvage business.[8]

Thank you Huck for making the choice clear(er).

The Huckster came in at the last minute with TV spots endorsing Mike Cox for governor. Cox finished third.

Now, if the Falcon Party would have come in and endorsed Cox ... or Duncan Hunter, Sr. ....

How's life in alternative universe today Pissant? What color is the sky today? Pink? Green? Yellow?

Remember to take off your tin foil hat during thunder storms. If we lost you, what would we do for comic relief at FR?

Look at me, look at me, I count too. Somebody ask me my opinion, I want to feel important, says the Huckster.

Me thinks some of the Deal people are smiling out of one side of their mouth.
