The race is on: Giuliani, Biden on top in Georgia — alphabetically

The ballot for Georgia’s Feb. 5 presidential primary has been formally set.

Both the state chairmen of both Republican and Democratic parties were required to submit lists of their bona fide candidates to Secretary of State Karen Handel by Thursday, Nov. 1.

The pair completed the work a few days early. Here’s a PDF with the formal communication, just to prove that neither side named Stephen Colbert.

Republican chairman Sue Everhart named, in alphabetical order: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Alan Keyes, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson.

Democratic chairman Jane Kidd named: Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis J. Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson.

The Republicans ought to list the candidates by the fewest letters, and the Democrats should list by the most.

Maybe the list should be compiled with the most qualified being first. Even in that case, Biden would come out on top.
