Not usually a fan, but this was really good. The case for Barack Obama, in broad strokes: He has within him the possibility to change the direction and tone of American foreign policy, which need changing; his rise will serve as a practical rebuke to the past five years, which need rebuking; his victory would [...]
Did your Absentee Ballot get counted? You can check!
This includes people who did Early Voting! I voted this past Tuesday, and yep, my ballot was counted… I didn’t have any doubts voting in person, but this is handy for folks that mailed them in…
Congrats to Flack and Tondees
Jon had a front page post on DKos yesterday as part of their Listening to the Locals series. It’s a great recap of where we’ve been, and a snapshot of where we are now, politically speaking, in Georgia. We will however expect at least one round of drinks from the ad revenue of the Kos [...]
Conspiracy theories, anyone?

Handel had appealed a Fulton County Superior Court ruling that sided [...]
Georgia’s Katherine Harris
Insider Advantage (yes, THAT Insider Advantage) smacks Karen Handel for not extending Advance Voting Hours But…she is quickly digging herself a Katherine Harris-style hole from which she may never emerge. First, her decision not to seek clearance from the DOJ for extended hours for early voting in Georgia just kills the GOP in the state. [...]

Shameless Saxby!
“The other folks are voting.” Yes, he really said that. Politico reports on Senator Chambliss’ tour of North Georgia: The Republican is outwardly confident, but there’s urgency in his voice as he tours North Georgia, trying to boost turnout in his predominately white base:”The other folks are voting,” he bluntly tells supporters. Tell us, Senator, [...]
Blame it on the Palin
Oh, I’m sorry, is my schadenfreude showing? John McCain’s campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday. And it has decided on Sarah Palin. More at Politico
