Jack Kingston is no more a Tea Partier than John Boehner or Eric Cantor. An almost 60-year old career politician, 22 years in DC and 8 years before that in Atlanta. Half his life spent sucking on the government teet.
NONSENSE.
I KNOW HIM. WHAT YOU HAVE SAID IS NONSENSE.
You are very much mistaken. Re-think this. This is a mistake.
Well good for you. Maybe he's provided some good constituent services for you or someone you know, that's swell. You have every right to back him. But there's no denying that he's the national establishment choice, that's just a fact. I'd be ok if he won but I think Handel is the better pick.
I think the worst choice (from a conservative standpoint, Paul Broun is the worst choice from an elecibilty standpoint) is Perdue's cousin. Unfortunately he is running first with Kingtson and Handel fighting over the 2nd runoff spot. I'd much prefer it if Perdue was running third.
And to everyone in GA thinking of wasting their vote on Broun, you’d could very well get Perdue/Kington instead of Perdue/Handel.
Jack Kingston handed back his NumbersUSA survey and is now a true reformer.
The Chamber of Commerce wants someone who wont rock the boat and someone who doesnt hate people with high school education.

Madison Project listed all these establishment candidates especially from the South with their views in conflict with the Chamber.
I’m supporting Handel, and convinced my aunt to vote for her instead of for her first choice, Phil Gingrey (who represented her in Congress until the recent redistricting), by pointing out to her that Gingrey has no chance of making the run-off. I’m not comfortable at all with Perdue’s cousin, since all we have to support his espoused views is his say-so, and would support Kingston over him if those two made the run-off (although I think that Handel has an excellent chance at making the run-off herself). (Now, if Perdue was *Jimmy Carter’s* conservative cousin with no record of his own, then I’d be tempted to support him, since it would greatly embarrass Carter if his cousin got elected. : )
Boortz is certifiable - advised giving the 2000 election to algore instead of fighting. Nevermind the facts.
I’m still not totally sold on anyone and will take a look at Kingston. I didn’t realize he was running until recently. Haven’t gotten anything in the mail.
santorum came out for handel. any little thing helps. i am fine with field. i just want to win in november. one georgia race i am interested in, is bob barr’s race. so no to barr!
I think that Barr will (i) make the runoff and (ii) lose by double digits.
Loudermilk the likely winner? That’s good, milk is usually far too quiet.
Newsmax - http://nws.mx/1iWbKJS
I think Jack Kingston is okay but I dont trust Newsmax endorsements.
JD Hayworth interviewed Renee Ellmers a week before the primary. They only mentioned Clay Aiken not that she was facing a primary challenge.
But they did a good job on recapping Walter Jones victory.
