I’m curious who the Tea Party and the NRA supports. Having a hard time finding any info on this. Not that I rely on their opinions, but, every little bit of info helps.
Thanks to all who have posted here. I’ve learned a lot from everyone.
Barnes? He’s a perfect example of what we are trying to eliminate. He’s a dog going back to his own vomit!
Oxendine is a crook. Always has been, always will be. My vote is for Handel.
If true that’s a little more damning than having a girlie voice.
What’s that supposed to mean ?
After watching the various videos, and bearing in mine William (not Bill) Nealey's Kayak books, I'm more afraid than ever of floodwater in close proximity to high-water bridges.
Handel.
I’m surprised that on Freerepublic no one from Georgia mentioned Ray McBerry. Check out this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU8-w0Xk_6A
He is a genuine States right candidate with a long history of advocating application of the 10th vs. Federal usurpation.
I’ve seen a few of his bumper stickers, but the article doesn’t even mention him.
That leaves Johnson, McBerry and Chapman. Of the three remaining Johnson seems to be the Georgia GOP insider. As State Senate Leader he must be pretty good at maneuvering the political waters. But I don't know how to weigh experience against a natural distrust of someone who has been in politics for 18 years.
McBerry is running a strong ‘states rights’ campaign. Let's face it, we need a governor who will stand up to Washington the next term and McBerry has taken up that banner. I like his ideas about getting rid of income and property taxes and going to a sales tax. But great ideas don't necessarily get passed by the legislature and I don't know if he has the clout to get things passed. I've seen many yards signs and heard some of his radio spots lately.
All I can tell you about Chapman is that he has a cool website. I like the fact that he is a small business owner, but McBerry and Johnson are as well. I'm not sure that positioning himself being against the good old boys would get help him get his agenda passed either.
Once again I appreciate the input and hope to get some more before I go vote.
Mcberry has displayed innappropriate behavoir with a minor and then lied about it.

I just found that out last night. The link in Post #51 is to the AJC article.
Good. We need to shout it from the rooftops.
His campaign seems odd to me. Who would run knowing they had those skeletons in their closet? And, there seems to be some seminar posters on his side, especially on this forum...

Who would vote for him knowing what he did?
Looks like Ray is damaged goods. Character counts...
And politically, the dems would eat him alive in a general election...
I am not 100% decided yet but I am leaning towards Nathan Deal.
I have a couple of problems with Deal. Congressmen do not historically make good chief executives. Deal was a democrat who jumped ship when the republicans took the house in 1995. He has been in Washington 17 years which to my mind makes pretty much anyone unfit for anything. He is also fleeing ethics investigations related to a company he is partners in that received some lucrative no-bid contracts from the state.
I am down to Chapman or Johnson by the process of elimination.
With only 4 more days left for me to make up my mind;
I could be swayed into the Eric Johnson camp.
I will have to spend more time this weekend studying the candidates further down the ballot.
