DEL.ICIO.USWhen it comes to luring candidates, it turns out rubber chicken beats rubber worms
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Three well-timed events in Georgia have become likely bait for presidential candidates of both stripes.
You’ve got next Tuesday’s anti-abortion ceremonies, of course, which will headline Republican Mike Huckabee.
Georgia Democrats have shifted their annual Jefferson-Jackson Day fund-raiser to Jan. 30, four days after their South Carolina primary. Last we heard, commitments from the three top candidates were in pencil, not ink.
And Sadie Fields, chairman of the Georgia Christian Alliance, has just dropped her announcement that she’ll have her annual winter gathering on Ground Hog Day — three days before Georgia’s Feb. 5 primary.
She, too, is fishing — and expects at least one GOP presidential candidate. She’s rented the Riverwood High School auditorium in anticipation.
This is generally a must-attend event for state Republican leaders. The author David Horowitz, who has discovered that many of the nation’s universities employ liberal professors, will be speaking.

That’s just amazing that Horowitz has discovered that a great many college professors are of the liberal political persuasion!!! He deserves a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative journalism. It’s about time somebody brought this to the attention of the people who pay to send their children to be educated (indoctrinated) and to the general electorate whose taxes pay the salaries of these clowns.
