Is this the best Georgia can do? Redneck Hillbilly Georgia?

Mark Taylor, Jin Martin its enough to make one a republican. Sure its selling your "soul" but it is winning. Hell Clinton did it, Kennedy did it, Carter did it. You don't have to be a Zell Miller to win. I left New Mexico in the clutches of two republican senators and a republican governor for Georgia which had two democratic senators and a democratic governor.

You don't sell your chances of winning by being principled or not playing the game. Republican will always call any Democrat a "liberal" out of touch with Georgia values so make it hard for them to do so.

Be a politician appeal to all areas at the risk of upsetting those whose stands doom any candidacy from the start. I know! I was for Edward Kennedy in 1980. I was against Nuclear Waste . I was a veritable "liberal". The same people who are accusing Obama of selling out, sell Georgia short. He is governing!

Dont get a dyed in the wool true beleiver and have him or her take conservitive positions. It won't be beleivable so it won't work. This is redneck Georgia! Get a dyed in the wool conservative and run him and as he campaigns have him take progressive stances. Sure it won't be beleivable either but this is Redneck Georgia! The hillbillies will not beleive his liberalism and elect him.

I know this is pure bull but I am feeling very much a loser and felt good when Obama actually won yet Georgia seems to take pride in bucking National trends. Hey maybe thats it. I should move again! Massachusetts or Oregon or Alaska anything except Redneck Georgia!
