Cathy Cox makes her first appearance….with Sonny Perdue?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The press release just rolled out. Secretary of State Cathy Cox will make her first highlighted appearance tomorrow since her July defeat in the Democratic primary for governor.
It won’t be at the side of Mark Taylor, the fellow who beat her. Here’s the headline on the release, issued by her office:
“Secretary Cox, Governor Perdue to Cut Ribbon on New Capitol Museum Exhibit Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.” The small event is on the fourth floor of the Capitol.
Expect many TV cameras, and a very gracious governor. Perhaps even a thankful one.
Disabled kids, an accusation from one ex-governor, and a ‘no comment’ from a sitting one
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tip of the hat to Peach Pundit for this one: A video clip by CBS-46 reporter Wendy Saltzman, taking a look at Medicaid cuts to disabled children, is making Democratic rounds as a campaign talking point.
Expect Mark Taylor, the Democratic nominee for governor, to make use of it at Thursday’s fairground debate near Perry.
Former Gov. Roy Barnes and state Sen. David Adelman of Decatur, both Democrats, are featured in the Saltzman piece. Perdue refused to be interviewed. (See our Sept. 16 blog, “Signs that you have a 20-point lead in the polls).
