I know Roy Barnes slightly, having dealt with him when he was in the legislature. I know what a liberal idealogue the guy is. Believe me when I say that Deal is your typical backstabbing Republican, but Barnes would have been like having the late and totally unlamented Maynard Jackson as governor.
OH yeh no argument there. Roy Barnes was the Anti-Christ. When he lost to Sonny Purdue I stayed up til midnight to watch them talk him down off the roof. I loathe that guy for the midnight vote to get rid of the flag.
I miss Zell Miller. The only time in my life I ever voted for a Democrat. He was a better republican than most republicans are.
