Among the flood of Stacey-Abrams-Veepstakes articles, two this week caught my attention. First was Marc Thiessen’s column in The Washington Post comparing Abrams to Sarah Palin. No one doubts that Georgia House Minority Leader to VP is a big jump. But it’s hard to compare a ticketmate who’s greatest was the sheerest of veneers hiding
The Vice President, Governor, Georgia’s junior Senator and Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia are getting lunch at Waffle House HQ in Norcross today. A statement from Sen. Kelly Loeffler said the group will have a roundtable discussing how to safely reopen Georgia’s economy. Loeffler added: “The vice president is no stranger to Georgia, and this visit
I have to say: she’s enthusiastic. And Sarah Riggs Amico might want to dial back some of the enthusiasm. The 60-second ad is below and as her campaign said in a press release: “The spot reminds voters that, unlike [Sen. David] Perdue, Amico has been a jobs creator who spent her career putting working families
Stacey Abrams’ group Fair Fight Action released a new ad on Wednesday urging Georgians to vote by mail. The ad, “Be a Peach”, is below. This election, you should vote by mail.You should vote by mail because some voters can only vote in person.There are voters with disabilities, others who are homeless or displaced… and
Former POTUS hopeful Pete Buttigieg announced the first slate of endorsements from his new PAC, Win the Era. Congresswoman Lucy McBath was the only candidate from Georgia to earn Buttigieg’s endorsement. Buttigieg said in a press release announcing the 22-person slate: “In a time of national crisis, there is more need than ever for leaders
Yesterday Georgians thought the Vernon Jones cancer might finally be exorcised from our body politic. Well guess what: we were fools think Rep. Jones (D-Slimeball) would go out gracefully. He should just switch parties at this point. He fits in believing he’s a victim and with his thought-free flipflopping.
Less than 24 hours after supporting Governor Kemp’s decision to reopen Georgia, President Trump now “totally disagrees” with Kemp. Speaking at his daily supplication fest Covid-19 briefing, President Trump said: “I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities.” Meanwhile Trump’s AG says he’s willing
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m willing to grant tremendous latitude to any executive handling their respective Covid-19 response. However, it seems increasingly clear that Governor Kemp is lurching from one decision to the next without a clear strategy. Or if he has one, it’s not a good strategy. Let’s start
This is your last chance to get on the Stacey Abrams for VP bandwagon before you become a bandwagoner (“I was with her before she sold out”). In a wide-ranging feature in Elle magazine, Abrams explicitly makes her case: I would be an excellent running mate. I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating
Yes, it’s a good thing to raise more money than your opponent. Especially when your opponent is an incumbent U.S. Senator. Reverend Warnock did just that in Q1: his $1.5 million to $1.1 million each for Sen. Loeffler and Rep. Collins. It’s not hard to imagine that if Sen. Loeffler could avoid a spirited primary
