1. Not if I can help it...

He plans to part the sea and feed the masses on a single fish, doesn't he?

2. I more than likely will. IMO he's got the best chance in the general election.

Even if he's not perfect he's a dam sight better than any of the GOPers running.

4. Barnes is the only one

who can win the general election. I like Poythress but he can't beat the republicans, I don't think. Hold your nose and do it!

9. I like Poythress too. He has more government experience than anyone running.

Headed up Georgia's first Medicaid Agency, Secretary of State, Labor Commissioner, Georgia National Guard, Department of Revenue, etc. He accomplished a lot in all those positions and gives a damn about people.

That said, I'll support Barnes if he's the Democratic candidate. I am somewhat concerned with Barnes' recent support of an Arizona type law targeting people who have come here for a better life. Of course, the Republicans are out running on a platform of hate, similar to the Klan candidates of the 1950s - 1970s. But, I shouldn't blame the candidates as much as the folks who still vote for that crud.

5. If I were planning to vote in the primary I'd vote for Baker but Barnes is a good choice too

Barners would win the general.

6. I will vote for Roy

I want to put our best candidate forward and I believe Roy gives the party the best chance in the fall election. Hopefully, Roy has learned some lessons from the past 8 years since he left office and can put those to work for the state.

8. The GOPers are tearing each other apart right now

They're getting very ugle with the name calling etc. (really, how much lower can you go than calling someone a "liberal" ?!?!?!)

Meanwhile Roy Barnes' ads are straight to the point, at least giving people an indication of what he thinks is important for the state. I gotta' believe that at least a few independant voters will notice that.
