BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love extended schadenfreude.

GA FReeper pings.

I finally walked out to the curb to clean up the dead trees, and this was the main headline.

I love the smell of toasted Democrats in the morning. And make no mistake about it, they are toast in GA.

As someone else observed, Lt. Governor Mark "Marky-Mark" Taylor will now have the opportunity to preside over more ribbon-cuttings and funerals than anyone else in Georgia political history.

[Clara Lou]

Anything that aggravates whiney Democrats....

[anniegetyourgun]

Congratulations!

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

Bye bye bye Mark Taylor, enjoy cutting ribbons for the next four years.

Sounds like "the Big Guy" is a little ticked off that things did not go his way, and like most Demonrats, he wants to change the rules mid-stream. I didn't hear him complaining when Miller was tapped to replace Coverdale. I didn't hear him complain when turncoat Jeffords switched parties to caucus with the Demonrats. But then again, it's kind of funny seeing a once powerful and now powerless Demonrat whine like a little cry baby schoolgirl when he loses power, isn't it?

Dear Zell Miller, You remained a Democrat despite your conservative politics because Georgia was run by the Democrat party and you had to watch where your bread was buttered. But now that the Georgia's Democrat party (a kind of 'down home PRI') has been dislodged,

Please, please cross that aisle. C'mon Zell, Join the Republicans!

[FryingPan101]

I am so proud of Georgia!

[RobFromGa]

Great news for Georgia!

I wish they had changed before the election but I'll take it this way.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Does anybody remember the doom and gloom predicted for the Georgia Republican party when Ralph Reed was elected State Chairman?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I am outraged that these spineless traitors, with no allegiance to party or principle, would switch from the GOP and go over and join the Dems. I say good riddance to these . . .

What? You say they switched from the Democrat party to the GOP? Oh, well, as I was saying, these courageous heroes, willing to stand up for what they believe in and buck the old Democrat party bosses, are to be congratulated for their principled move!

Tom Murphy has been appointed House janitor. Georgians will appreciate this.

This was sent to me by my sister in Griffin the night Chambliss won. I posted it yesterday. LINK

We had a pretty big Republican sweep in South Carolina too.
I think Southern Democrats are gonna need to put be on the "endangered species" list. So don't disturb them while they're in their natural habitat.

[RWG]

Cordele said in an interview he would leave the Democratic Party and join the Republicans because it would be the best thing for his South Georgia constituents...beware, beware, beware. Sounds like an opportunist. Why not switch before the vote if it would be the best thing for contituents?

""This struggle is not over," said Taylor, who is striving to keep waffling Democrats in the fold. "I reached out to [Perdue] on election night, promised his agenda would be treated fairly in the Senate. At the same time, he's cutting all these backroom deals. This is a continuing process and I can assure you this process will continue right up until the Senate organizes."

I have one reply to that whine I put in bold that should shut them up:

Tom Murphy

[ChadGore]

Thank You Georgia W. Bush

This is a continuing process and I can assure you this process will continue right up until the Senate organizes."

I don't remember Taylor complaining about "backroom deals" when it was Roy Barnes cutting them...and Roy was King of the backroom deal.

Guess it just depends on whose ox is being gored, huh Marky?

Democrats hold 106 of the 180 state House seats, but the GOP is targeting about 10 rural Democrats in the House to switch, Republican officials said.

Anybody got any idea what the final lineup in the state House is going to be? If the Republicans end up with at least working majorities in the two houses, can they redistrict?

[AFPhys]

I strongly suspect that there will be more switchers in GA, probably 2.

We have not heard from the rest of the country yet, but it is likely we'll have some more in the mid-States before Jan.

[WyCoKsRepublican]

From the great state of Kansas to our friends in Georgia. A new day has broken in your wonderful state! God Bless you in your endeavor to reshape the political landscape and way of doing business in GA.
