DEL.ICIO.USBreak out the binoculars, Aunt Minney — presidential candidates rolling through
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Within a few hours, Republican Mitt Romney should be touching down in Atlanta for the first of a pair of fund-raisers. This evening’s event is at a private home.
On Wednesday, Romney will be at a fund-raising luncheon at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead — a minor step up from an appearance earlier this month at the Varsity.
The Buckhead event is headed up by House Speaker pro tem Mark Burkhalter, Fred Cooper, U.S. Reps. Tom Price and Phil Gingrey — among many others.
Both fund-raisers are $1,000 per, at minimum.
Also Wednesday, John Edwards will be at an event in Americus, Ga., at Georgia Southwestern State University. Former President Jimmy Carter will be in attendance, it’s said.
Carter hasn’t made any endorsement in the Democratic presidential contest, and it’ll be a surprise if he does so here. However, Carter’s oldest son on Monday endorsed U.S. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.
Jack Carter noted that Biden was the first senator to support his father in 1975. Moreover, “he was helpful in my own campaign last year,” noted Carter, who was the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Nevada last year. He did not win.

Speaking of Romney, isn’t it ironic that the Mormon is the only major GOP candidate who has only had one wife? And yet they are the party of family values … just ask Senator Larry Craig.

Something, besides his dodging Vietnam, ain’t right with Romney. Being tight with Sen. Craig…getting dog do on the roof of his car…supporting the Closet-Queen-in-Chief…not right.

I wonder if the “Georgian’s [sic] for Mitt” people have bought a new vinyl sign without the typo. (Find it on the ol’ YouTube)
