In the digital era, putting good journalism behind a firewall is about as useful as a closet full of hoop skirts, so I’m just going to copy and paste Dick Pettys’ of InsiderAdvantage’s piece from yesterday about the Saxby Chambliss campaign, or lack thereof, here in full. It deserves to be set free. Sniff the [...]

Early Voting In Georgia
Posted in Events, Presidential '08, tagged Early Voting In Georgia on October 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I did it. Cast my early voter ballot. And I’m a white soccer mom! Took exactly 2 hours and 21 minutes of line-standing, which turned-out to be a hoot. This goofy bag lady was on one side of me and a local filmmaker on the other. Before we all got to know one another, and [...]

More Evidence Karen Handel Is Channeling Her Inner Katherine Harris
Posted in Georgia politics, Presidential '08, tagged Georgia, hours wait, Karen Handel, Katherine Harris, long lines, voting lines on October 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
From today’s AJC:
Monday’s wait times (to vote) of six to eight hours led state Democratic Party chairwoman Jane Kidd to call on Secretary of State Karen Handel to extend advance voting to this weekend and Monday. Kidd said it appeared Handel’s office was “unprepared” for the large turnout.
Handel said Georgia law includes no such mechanism [...]

Dude who’s done these posters, including that most iconic image of this election year of Obama in the above style, is from Charleston, South Carolina. Who’d have thought?!
Obama (Not) In Georgia = FAIL
Posted in Presidential '08, tagged ads, Georgia, InsiderAdvantage, Obama, politics, poll, polls, Presidential race, TV, vote on October 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Towery thinks Obama could have reached down in the gutter that is Atlanta local TV and easily fished-up the red-dirt crown of Georgia and placed it in his electoral basket of goodies.
Like great great-aunt Betty Wesley’s rather ugly pieces of tarnished bauble that somehow end-up in your possession, I’d not want to actually place the [...]

Very latest IA/PP poll says Georgia is a “toss-up” state. For the presidential and Senate races. Whatever happened to being a “swing” state? Or “battleground” state? Guess that was soooo last week.
10/24/08 – A new InsiderAdvantage / Poll Position survey shows Georgia is a toss-up state in both the U.S. Senate and presidential campaigns.

McCain Supporters Say No To Intolerance
Posted in Events, Journalism, Presidential '08, tagged American News Project, APN, CNN, consercatives, McCain, Republicans, Virginia rally on October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is the most hopeful thing I’ve seen in months – conservatives refusing to drink the Rovian-esque Kool-Aid! Amazing video of McCain supporters as they (some Muslim some Christian) shut down anti-Obama protesters at a recent Virginia McCain rally. It’s all here from the equally amazing ANP, American News Project. ANP has been doing the [...]
Managing The Media

In the Now Herding Cats Department… while I find it amusing that there are people out there who feel media+The Internets are somehow, someway at all “manageable,” I like, and thus will evangelize, about two new tools that help control spin and lies and gross fabrications in media. Both tools are seeking crowd-sourced, computated journalism [...]
Georgia Gang and Georgia Political Misc.
Posted in Atlanta Media, tagged Georgia Gang, Georgia politics, Martin, Saxby on October 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Jeff Dickerson finally got a working pulse on Sunday’s Georgia Gang. Kicking ass with a righteous fury. All Dick Williams can do is parrot-loop something, anything, he heard on Fox News about Joe The Plumber, which is what currently passes for enlightened political discourse. Or babble about the Fair Tax, which no one seems to [...]
