Woo-hoo! Ralph Reed was beaten handily yesterday in the Georgia Lt. Gov. Republican primary! The slimy jerk actually ran a pretty good campaign, but was brought down because of his ties with Jack Abramoff, Indians, and gambling. He might or might not have broken any laws, but he certainly was sleazily unbelieveable when he claimed to be shocked, shocked that he was inexplicably paid hundreds of thousands in Indian gambling lobby money, while portraying himself as anti-gambling.
AND Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is in a run-off--a sitting incumbent, in a primary run-off! If that idiot can just be ousted, then I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the implosion of Catherine Harris' train-wreck of a campaign for the Senate.

The phone did not stop ringing on Monday with recorded messages from the various candidates. I generally hang up as soon as I recognize what it is. Ralph Reed launched so quickly into the "shocked, shocked!" routine that I caught part of it even before I hung up.
Buh-bye, Ralphie! And McKinney's stunt a few months back was, well . . . Posts: 3149 | Registered: Jul 2005

Yeah, but my very favorite part of the article is this:
quote:In Alabama, George Wallace Jr. — son of the legendary Alabama governor and presidential candidate — lost his bid for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor to Luther Strange, a first-time candidate.
Luther Strange? What a great name for a candidate! I can envision him standing proudly at the podium, his army of warbots rising behind him as he cackles into the microphone...

Chris, I remember one campign (about '72 or so) when the Dad, good old George, was running aganst Shorty Price. Shorty ran on a platform of "Budwiser Beer and Tampa Nugget Cigars". His campign slogan was "Anyone who can't steal enough in four years to live the rest of their live in comfort, ain't smart enough to be the Govenor of Alabama" Where did all the good times go?
