DEL.ICIO.USThis is no election. It’s a coronation.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Long-time GOP activist Sue Everhart of Cobb County has picked up yet another endorsement for chairmanship of the state Republican party — this one from Jim Beck, president of the Georgia Christian Coalition.
Beck, who once worked for Pierre Howard, the Democratic lieutenant governor, wanted to be sure no one thought him partisan. I would have considering to an endorsement in the Democratic chair race — but I was not asked,” he said late last week.
Everhart has already received a personal endorsement from Sadie Fields, chairman of the Georgia Christian Alliance. State Sen. David Shafer of Gwinnett County, who lost a GOP chairmanship race to Ralph Reed in 2001, also endorsed Everhart last week.
The only other announced candidate in the race is Anthony-Scott Hobbs, the current chairman of the Cobb County GOP. The next Georgia chairman will be selected by delegates to the statewide convention in mid-May. The delegate selection process began over the weekend.
