DEL.ICIO.USDeadline? What deadline?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia’s two remaining uncommitted superdelegates say they’ll ignore the Friday deadline set by national Democratic party chairman Howard Dean, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — who are urging ranking party members to quickly pick either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and remove any doubt about the outcome of the Democratic primary contest.
My colleague Julia Malone in Washington just finished talking with Doug Moore, spokesman for U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Macon).
“No change. He’s not going to make a determination at Howard Dean’s request,” Moore said.
How about Pelosi’s request?
“He’s not going to be on anybody else’s timetable,” Moore said.
Richard Ray, president of the Georgia AFL-CIO, was more polite, but his message was the same. “I’ll take it under advisement,” Ray said. The union leader said he was likely to make a choice soon, but doubted it would come by Friday.

Jim Marshall re-election has been greatly enhanced by the appearance of Dick Cheney coming in to raise money for Rick Goddard. What in the world is Goddard thinking being seen with this man? The most unpopular VP in the country’s history from the worst administration posibly ever. Goddard has just lost the general election.

Jim Marshall waiting for others to make the decision… shocker. just like his votes in Congress, meaningless. Marshall has no spine.
