Anti-Green campaign button in Gwinnett?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Another political junkie last week gave us what appears to be an anti-Lorraine Green campaign button.
We’re not entirely sure that’s what it is. The lapel pin doesn’t provide much information about where it came from.
It contains nothing more than the word “GREEN” in green letters with an orange international “Do Not” symbol slashed in front of it.
The words “made in Mexico” are stamped in tiny print on the side.
Green said Friday she hadn’t seen one.
Her 2008 primary election opponent, Charles Bannister, said it’s not one of his.
We’re not sure what impact the anti-Green button might have. Would it enrage Mexico detractors or tip Gwinnett’s Irish vote (if there is one)?
Maybe it has nothing to do with next year’s race for chairman of the Gwinnett County commissioners. Perhaps it was made by somebody who simply doesn’t like the color, or the political party that goes by the same name.
Whatever reason, we wouldn’t advise wearing one on St. Patrick’s Day.
