Brian Kemp’s television ad attacking Stacey Abrams for “walking out” of an important vote is the biggest waste of money this campaign has seen. To the untrained eye, accusing a member of taking a walk on a vote sounds menacing. In reality, this claim is just a poor shot from a candidate struggling to find
Does anyone still doubt November’s election will be a nailbiter? If so the latest AJC/WSB poll should put that to bed. From the AJC writeup: The poll showed Kemp ahead of Abrams 47.7 percent to 46.3 percent, a statistically insignificant difference within the poll’s 2.8 percentage point margin of error. Libertarian Ted Metz had 2.3 percent
The latest poll from Landmark Communications finds Brian Kemp leading Stacey Abrams 48%-46.3%. What I find more interesting is that the same numbers hold true for the Lite Governor race as well. Were I a Republican I’d be very concerned heading into the election. That seems to lend some credence to Abrams’ internal poll released
Dear Governor Deal: I don’t believe there’s an elected official in Georgia that has a more direct impact on my life than you. In fact, I probably wouldn’t be sitting in Braselton, GA right now writing this had you not become Georgia’s governor. That statement isn’t a political fan boy moment…it’s fact. Both your candidacy

(Donald Trump and Mike Pence for Brian Kemp and Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama for Stacey Abrams who also was endorsed by Hillary Clinton). Which got me to thinking: has there
This week’s Courier Herald column: As Georgia begins the final stretch to find a new occupant of the Governor’s Mansion, a look back at the accomplishments of its current occupant is in order. Perhaps none have been as transformational if not also a bit surprising as Governor Deal’s commitment to Criminal Justice Reform. For decades
Progressives … Stacey Abrams does not owe you jack $#*!… I had a recent conversation with a friend and active politico. My friend said “If you talk to Stacey Abrams she needs to come to a church in this community. She can’t forget her base. She has to encourage people to come to the polls
I find it very interesting that Georgia’s elected leaders are so up in arms about Jason Spencer displaying his bare behind on Showtime. This sudden shock at his rhetoric on television is in complete contravention with the Georgia legislature’s tacit refusal to get rid of an antiquated Georgia law protecting the monuments to the traitorous
Stacey Abrams made a trip to Manhattan on Monday to discuss her book: “Minority Leader.” Abrams said she hopes people stop fixating on her being the first black nominee for governor of Georgia calling that “Crayola politics.” “Fundamentally it doesn’t really matter what race you are; we want a good governor who can lead.” You
Former President Barack Obama made his “first wave” of endorsements nationwide in the 2018 race. While four Georgia Democrats received his good news, John Barrow, a national co-chair of Obama’s “Vote for Change” initiative during the 2008 presidential race, did not. Ouch. A message was left for the Barrow campaign and I’ll update when I
