Comments: Majette for Senate?
Because ya'll would constantly school me on state politics (I tend to only pay attention to issues, and when they bite me in the ass). No but that's a good thing I guess. I'm down.
So Chris, who do you think should run? Taylor? Where is he politically? All I really know is he is the "big Guy" and he likes babies. I don't think Majette is a stellar candidate, but out of the names I've heard so far (Including her and people who haven't DECLINED it, like Young) she seems to be the best, and her house seat is safe. Not that I have a problem with any of the others...

I think Majette is a good candidate. I also think Mac Collins is the strongest Republican candidate, but a lot of the media establishment doesn't agree with me. I think Thurbert Baker is the strongest Democratic candidate, but I agree with him that he should stay on as AG for now, especially considering that Perdue would appoint a temporary successor who would most likely acquiesce on all the progress Baker's made in the office in the past year.
As much as I loathe Zell, I think with a candidate like Majette running, whom he wholeheartedly endorsed last year for Congress, the media would finally stop giving him a pass and show how hypocritical he's become -- if she's good enough for US Congress, isn't she good enough to be your successor?
What do I know though?

Careful what you wish for... Zell would probably come up with some bullshit about how Majette "sold out to the Washington liberals" so he could support the Republican. But hey I wish for the same thing you do. I'm running for Majette's seat if she goes for senate.

I've gotta warn you, running for office is harder than it seems:

But don't take my word for it...

Hold the phone, there's a Republican from Dekalb? You must have run a horrible campaign. Did you say yopu were against the death penalty or something?

Yeah yeah. Roy Barnes got about 42% of the district, as did Cleland. Sen. David Adelman got about 35% of that district.
Let's see, I spent maybe $5,000 on the race (about half of it raised). Roy Barnes spent $20 million on his race. Yet he did not do 4,000 times better than me, in fact, he did not even get 4,000 more votes than me :)
It is a very liberal Republican, if that matters. The stories I can tell from that campaign.

I was mostly joking.
