DEL.ICIO.USLooks like the race for state GOP chairman is over, one month early
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Next month’s state Republican convention in Gwinnett County may have just been robbed of its last shred of drama.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports today that Anthony-Scott Hobbs, radio talk show host and former Cobb County party chairman, has bowed out of the race for state party chairman.
That leaves longtime GOP activist Sue Everhart of Cobb County, a close ally of U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, the only announced candidate. She’s already wrapped up every endorsement in sight, from Gov. Sonny Perdue to — gosh! — Isakson.
Hobbs just wrapped up his four years as chairman of the Cobb GOP, said a pending marriage and financial pressures led him to drop out. “I understand it’s a full-time volunteer job and at this junction in my life - these are my earning years,” Hobbs told the MDJ.
