DEL.ICIO.USAnother battle for DeKalb
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When he qualified for the lieutenant governor’s race Tuesday, Democrat Jim Martin released a list of 22 legislators who are endorsing him. It’s of course intended to show broad support for the former Atlanta legislator and Human Services commissioner, but in particular the DeKalb/Atlanta names look like a blowback to Sen. Steen Miles, the latest entrant in the race (see below).
The senators endorsing Martin are: David Adelman (DeKalb), Gloria Butler (DeKalb/Gwinnett), Vincent Fort (Fulton) and Sam Zamarripa (Fulton).
The House members are: Kathy Ashe (Fulton) Tom Bordeaux (Chatham) Tyrone Brooks (Douglas/Fulton), Roger Bruce (Douglas/Fulton), Robert Bryant (Chatham), Douglas Dean (DeKalb/Fulton), Karla Drenner (DeKalb), Pat Gardner (DeKalb/Fulton), Gerald Greene (Calhoun/Clay/Early/Miller/Randolph/Seminole), Michele Henson (DeKalb), Lester Jackson (Chatham), Mary Margaret Oliver (DeKalb), Nan Orrock (DeKalb/Fulton),Bobby Parham (Baldwin/Putnam), Robert Ray (Bibb/Crawford/Houston/Lamar/Monroe/Peach/Upson), Georganna Sinkfield (Clayton/DeKalb/Fulton), LaNett Stanley-Turner (Fulton), and Rep. Rob Teilhet (Cobb).

Some of these endorsements make sense - like all the old hags from atlanta, but i don’t understand adelman abd teilhet at all.
