McKinney makes Top 10 (Dumbest)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
She may be a short-timer, but Rep. Cynthia McKinney has placed 7th in a just-released list of America’s 10 dumbest members of Congress.
The survey of the top 10 “fools on the Hill” by radaronline.com, puts Florida’s embattled Rep. Katherine Harris – “the product of a demented government experiment gone horribly wrong” — tops on the list, which includes six Republicans and four Democrats.
McKinney is noted for her “famously bad hair,� her run-in with a Capitol cop and a tendency to threaten newspapers (this one, actually) with lawsuits.
Perdue drops 6 points on Taylor’s TV ads
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Insider Advantage is out with its latest poll, which shows Republican incumbent Sonny Perdue dropping below the 50 percent mark in the race for governor since early October.
The dip coincides with TV attacks by Democratic rival Mark Taylor on the governor’s Florida land deal, and an accompanying $100,000 tax deferral passed by the Legislature.
The poll shows Perdue at 48 percent, down from 54 percent early this month. Taylor’s numbers have dropped, too, to 28 percent. And the ranks of undecided voters have increased.
