Thurbert Baker, you might recall, is scheduled to have a press conference today to 2 PM.
It turns out, Roy Barnes will as well.
Someone isn’t happy about that.
To members of the media:
I was just informed that the Barnes campaign has this morning called a press conference for 2:00 pm today. As you may recall, I sent out the first notice of our event (which is also today at 2:00 pm) on Monday afternoon so that you would have time to plan to attend (that email is forwarded below).
We have obviously made arrangements with our site days ago, so we will be going forward. While I will not ascribe a motive or intent to our colleagues in Marietta, I would hope that to accommodate our media members and in the interest of ensuring that the voters of Georgia have the opportunity to hear the ideas of their various choices for Governor, they will move their press conference to some other time.
I’d like to give the Georgia press corps a little credit and say, they can adequately cover two candidates’ press conferences in one day.
