[Theodore R.]

GA's "democracy" has a collection of groups that keep it entrenched: blacks, other immigrants, professional liberals, socialists, the elderly, homosexuals, young unmarried women, the governing class at the city and county levels, the poor, who did I miss? Add all these groups up and you are on the verge of 50.0 percent ironclad.

[Theodore R.]

And don't forget the two biggest GA liberals of them all -- Georgia Jimmy and Ted Turner! These gentlemen sway tens of thousands to stick with the Democrats.

I put a sarcasm tag on my last reply, but it vanished.

The only way to beat your iron clad is to appeal to the other 50% and use wedge issues to peel 1 or 2% of the iron clad away or de-energize them to keep them sitting home on election day. An absolute purist can't accomplish this.
