DEL.ICIO.USWhere now for Jones, Martin?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In the morning’s light, the Democratic race for the U.S. Senate nomination to oppose incumbent Saxby Chambliss shows two candidates in need of money.
DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones needs money to consolidate and turn out his base in rural and urban areas with sizeable percentages of black voters. Those include Clayton County (Jonesboro), Bibb County (Macon), Burke County (Waynesboro), Chatham County (Savannah), DeKalb County (Decatur), Dougherty County (Albany), Douglas County (Douglasville), Henry County (McDonough), Liberty County (Hinesville), Muscogee County (Columbus), Newton County (Covington), Richmond County (Augusta), and Rockdale County (Conyers).
This is not intended as the slight it sounds like, but Jones runs really well in areas outside Metro Atlanta where he is slightly less well known. It was a blow-out win for him in Albany, Augusta, Macon, Savannah and Columbus, as well as in Metro Atlanta areas that are trending Democratic: Rockdale, Douglas, Henry and Newton. In pockets of Cobb and Gwinnett he ran well, too. He owns Clayton.
The key for Jones, then, is to find or buy some of that youthful energy and excitement that drove Barack Obama’s successful campaign. Tap in to “hope” and “change,” motivate the young, organize turnout in the areas cited and he’s in. It’s a tall order, but possible.
Jim Martin needs money, too, for a different kind of campaign. He draws more broadly across the state, with no real concentrations of voter support sufficient to pull him through. He needs a major media campaign, which is costly.
Martin needs money for media. Jones needs money to put feet on the ground.
Dale Cardwell, the number three finisher with 16.1 percent of the vote, tapped into something with his “no PAC-money” pledge. He ran a strong race for a newcomer, even outside the Atlanta media market where television viewers and potential voters got to know him as an investigative reporter.
He’s actually the better gauge of anti-Washington sentiment than is either Jones or Martin. Two counties are particularly interesting. One is Chattooga County (Summerville) at the top of the state and the other is Ware County (Waycross) at the bottom. Both are independent “let me be” counties where people like their government small, affordable and unintrusive. In Chattooga, Cardwell appears to have beaten both Jones and Martin, though one precinct remains out, with 1,226 for Cardwell, 457 for Jones and 1, 208 for Martin. Cardwell was strong thorughout northwest Georgia, which tends to be more conservative than the rest of the state. In Ware, Cardwell beat Martin, 206-192, though Jones carried the county with 385.
So where to Cardwell’s voters go? Hard to say. A guess would be that half stay home unless there’s a local runoff. Martin and Jones split the rest, especially if Jones is able to make the case that he’s the more conservative.
Martin is probably slightly advantaged for the runoff. Supporters of Josh Lanier and Rand Knight will go to him and Jones will have a tough time generating the excitement he needs to pull his voters back to the polls. Low turnout in any of his key counties would be deadly to his chances of winning the nomination.
Jones needs to concentrate on about 15 counties. Martin needs to work on the other 144.

Good morning all. I voted in the Republican primary. I did not vote in the unopposed Senate or District Attorney races because neither candidate deserves my endorsement. If I had any discretion I would refrain from counseling my leftist friends on their run-off election, but I don’t so I won’t so-refrain. Vernon Jones is by far the more personable candidate of the two democrats still standing and – kiss of death – probably the more conservative also. If Vernon had been running as a Republican yesterday against Saxbe, I would have voted for Vernon.
Yes, I was a Kimmer listener, and I enjoyed all of the sometimes-harsh “Vermin Jones” jokes, but that is mere political humor. Note the sharp contrast between Vernon Jones and the other pigment-embellished candidate of the day, Barack Obama. Jones is not above parody and does not pretend to be so. Barack, like most leftists - other than our dear PoFo - has no sense of humor; his reaction to the New Yorker cover told me all I need to know about him. Imagine how differently and positively we could all view Obama had he merely offered a statement like, “A very clever cover, depicting the battles we all still fight. I salute the artist.” I do not require my candidates to be able to tell a joke. My definition of good mental health is one who takes his work seriously but not himself. While I had similar qualms about Captain Queeg, his limitations pale in comparison to those of Obama. Can Saxbe take a joke? I have no idea, and that distresses me.
Follow up on yesterday’s issue, I admit I did not vote my personal beliefs – I voted for the nonbinding sales tax to bring MARTA to Gwinnett. Perhaps temporary insanity; if it had been a real question perhaps I would have voted differently. I never vote for tax increases, and voted against the other proposal to allow the overlords additional discretion in expenditures. As there is an element of volition in sales taxes and gasoline taxes, I think those offend me less than property or sales taxes.

I have been discriminated against. Yesterday mom took me with her to vote, we got there & this nice black lady gave mom 12 vellow cards & $100.00 to vote for Victor Hill & Vernon Jones. Mom asked if I could vote, the nice lady said yes but I would only get $50.00 to vote for Hill & Jones, this is not fair. I want my other $50.00, where do I go to get my money?

That’s totally unfair, Bjf, any campaign would be neglegent not to react to all missiles from the other side.
Obama had to react. Even though, as John Stewart points out, it’s the muslim extremist who are the ones who are supposed to react to cartoons.
I admit my first reaction was, “Why did Obama swing at that?” I have a feeling his people made him. You have to respond to all criticisms no matter how ridiculous.
That bring us all to why? Because we elect a candidate based on who got i the latest “good one”, even if that good one was as stupid as the sound of “flip flop”, or the preamble to “….or the terrorists win”, or “shove it” or “GFY”.
We dont even care what the issues are, unless you can frame that issue’s bullet points in a cartoon. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. In this country, that makes a crayon a nookyoolar weapon. In fact, Crayola crayons just introduced a new color: Yellow Cake, it’s for McCain face around the gills, on election night when he turns pale around midnight during his concession speech.

Dear PoFo @ 8:34, I respect your views, especially on any question involving humor, but I still disagree. Not every “attack” requires response, and not every response has to be a “counterattack.” As I suggest in my note, I think the appropriate response for Obama would have been to disarm the “criticism” by turning it to his side. Indeed, Obama’s graceless whine makes him vulnerable to even more and harsher attack, as shown in Taranto’s riff yesterday:
“Speaking of humor, Barack Obama’s supporters are showing a distinct lack of it in response to The New Yorker’s cover, featuring a cartoon that depicts a turban-clad Obama fist-bumping his wife, Michelle, who wears an afro, cammies and a machine gun, making her look like a 1960s black-power radical. The pair appear to be in the Oval Office, where an American flag burns in the fireplace and a portrait of Osama bin Laden hangs on the wall. It’s a wicked satire of Obama’s Islamophobia.
“The response from both Democrats and Republicans was explosive,” reports the New York Times. Professional humorists have either had difficulty coming up with Obama jokes or found that they were poorly received:
“There has been little humor about Mr. Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique. And within a late-night landscape dominated by white hosts, white writers, and overwhelmingly white audiences, there has been almost none about his race.
“We’re doing jokes about people in his orbit, not really about him,” said Mike Sweeney, the head writer for [Conan] O’Brien on “Late Night.” …
“When [Jon] Stewart on “The Daily Show” recently tried to joke about Mr. Obama changing his position on campaign financing, for instance, he met with such obvious resistance from the audience, he said, “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him.” Mr. Stewart said in a telephone interview on Monday, “People have a tendency to react as far as their ideology allows them.” “Salon’s Gary Kamiya blames George W. Bush: ‘Vast swaths of the left have apparently been so traumatized by the Big Lie techniques employed by the Bush administration, its media lickspittles like Fox News, and the right-wing attack machine that they have come to regard all images or texts that contain negative stereotypes as too politically dangerous to run. If you satirically depict Obama as an Islamist terrorist, in this view, you are only reinforcing and giving broader currency to right-wing smears.’
“The Los Angeles Times reports on Obama backers upset about the cartoon:
‘Chicago Tribune columnist/blogger Eric Zorn gave notice that he is waiting for the magazine to launch an equal-ink takedown depicting John McCain as “about 150 years old and spouting demented non-sequiturs in the middle of a violent temper tantrum while, in the corner, his wife is passed out next to a bottle of pills.’
“Actually, someone who has maintained a little more perspective already obliged. David Horsey, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, riffed on the Blitt illustration with a McCain portrait of his own. Horsey’s image shows a drooling, wheelchair-bound McCain, singing “Bomb bomb bomb—bomb bomb Iran,” as wife Cindy pours dozens of pills from a vial and implores her husband, “Take some of my meds to get through the inaugural parade!”
“The Horsey cartoon appears here. As far as we know, it has upset no one.
“So: A cartoon of Obama inspires fury and outrage. A cartoon of McCain leads everyone to shrug. Obama is being treated like Muhammad, McCain like Jesus.”

The AJC should be looking into all the money that’s gone missing in DeKalb County due to ‘phantom contractors’ charging for work they never completed! This chicanery was all done on Vernon Jone’s watch. There were several audits - but it seems the whole matter has been forgotten lately. If you can’t trust a candidate in a county office, then why should they be elected to a higher one?

Dear PoFo @ 9:06, I think you confuse earmarks and conservatism, which are polar opposites. There are earmark republicans, like Saxbe, and there are conservative republicans, like Jon Kyl. The former greatly outnumber the latter. And there are even more earmark democrats, and almost no conservative democrats. Nevertheless I agree with the substance of your latter argument. To add a necessary dimension to your formula, the “middlemen” are almost all Congressmen. You will never find a conservative endorsing corporate welfare; that is what distinguishes the “pragmatists” from conservatives, and why you so-often seem me condemning moderates more harshly than I condemn leftists.

Well, I went and filled up the Ford F-450 last night and I know people thought I was a idiot the way I was acting all happy and such while the numbers kept rolling on the pump. I was smiling alot and thinking of the suppers I could buy me and the missus at Ryans with that much money. But like this Gramm says, the economy is in good shape and people that think it ain’t are touched in the head. And I didn’t want someone to think I was crazy. Or worse, a librul whining about everything.
Anyhow, I sure was glad I voted in the Republican primary and didn’t have to pick between one of Those People and a White librul. I don’t know which one is worst. It was good to put a X by old Saxbys name. He don’t do nothing up there, but leastwise he don’t spend his time coming up with ways to part me from my money. Far as I’m concerned, he can have another round of golf on me. Within reason, of course.
Have a good day everybody.

Cardwell’s voters in Ware County (from whence I came) will throw their votes to Martin. Bickley and Manor precincts will put him over the top. And that ought to nail it down right there.

G’mornin Jim, et al,
If Vermin Jones can’t out-dance milk-toast Jim Martin (somebody, please put me to sleep), then he doesn’t deserve to be the demokrat candidate for US Senator.
I’m still waiting for someone to tell me what Vermin Jones has accomplished other than playing “bump” with one of the county commissioners, and staying up REALLY late with several ladies of the evening? ( I have heard Jones has “earned” the votes of many, many single Dekalb (and now statewide) women.
Raising taxes seems to be a track record of Vermin, along with unending run-ins with Dekalb police leadership that seems to be in a recurring flux.
Jim Martin? First thing that comes to my mind is Barney Fife. Now THATS what I call a leader (ZZZZZZZZZZ!).

And if anyone believes that he will be unseated this November, they need an entire team of doctors.
Remember, we live in a state that FAR surpasses the national average of 25% or so who believe the Bushco administration is doing a heckuva job. And in a state that is consistently at the very bottom of educational rankings.

Analchord is right about the need to stay on top of all attacks, but he also alludes to a candidate’s imperative to choose wisely what to swing at. Not really a contradiction; sometime’s a bunt is a winner.
BFKaJ, who by the way is fully papered by AKC, resented by the AJC and sought after by the FDIC — is also right to point out that in every presidential race there’s are times when the best response to an attack is a gentle put-down, as he says, or even outright punchline-humor. Many a stand-up comedian has been retained by a presidential campaign or the campaign’s chief communications firm for this very purpose. And over the years some pretty funny and politically deft moves have resulted.

Kucinich’s impeachment resolution charging George Bush with war crimes was read into the official record. The House voted to refer it to the Judiciary Committee, which will now begin hearings. There will also likely be an investigation, but the investigation has already taken place. Congress knows what Bush is accused of doing. The Republicans and lame Democrats who have refused to support impeachment are in denial, but they know what the accusations are.
But the important thing that came out of today’s events is that these hearings will be televised. Just like Watergate. Those of you old enough to remember Watergate, how can you forget those televised hearings with day after day after day of damning evidence? And remember how the American people reacted? Even the Republicans were screaming for Nixon’s impeachment.

In a spectacular act of complicity with the religious right, the Department of Health and Human Services Monday released a proposal that allows any federal grant recipient to obstruct a woman’s access to contraception. In order to do this, the Department is attempting to redefine many forms of contraception, the birth control 40% of Americans use, as abortion.

Actually, Le Petomaine, it’s Barack who will “pick a Dan Quayle”: Evan Bayh. Reason: because GHWB’s choice of Dan Quayle evaporated, overnight, the senior Bush’s 17-point gap from women voters. After 24-hours of what then passed for blanket coverage of this story (only shoe Bush had left to drop), the gap disappeared. Gone. The hair, you see; the youthful features; the white smile and everything else.
Alas, Evan’s an airhead. His inherited liberalism is a splendid compendium of the past.
Evan Bayh is going to be the Dan Quayle of the Democrats. Maybe even another Thomas Eagleton.
Only this time voters won’t stay away because of all the things they don’t know; ok bloody well stay away because of what they do know.

President George W.

In fact, just two months ago, Bush said, in a speech before the Israeli parliament, that those who favor rigorous diplomacy with Iran (including his own Defense Secretary) are supporting a policy of appeasement toward terrorists

McCain’s ‘New Reforms’ To Education: Cut Head Start, Cut College Aid, Dodge Fully Funding No Child Left Behind
The McCain campaign seems anxious to pretend they don’t know Phil Gramm anymore, but as of this morning, he’s still listed as a National Campaign General Co-Chair for McCain’s “National Leadership Team.”
Here’s a story you can say you read first at The Jed Report: according to FEC reports filed on July 15, through June 30, John McCain had raised at $62.5 million in private funds that can be used for his general election campaign — even though he’s already committed to accepting public funding for the general. Moreover, based on my own analysis, of that $62.5 million, three-quarters — $46.3 million — comes from a total of 1,803 wealthy individuals who made five figure contributions averaging $25,664 each. So not only is John McCain blatantly violating his public financing pledge, but he’s doing it in grand style, raising money in increments of up to $70,000 per donor — more than thirty times the amount a donor can give to Barack Obama’s general election campaign.
“Inflation in June rose at the fastest rate in 17 years”
For a fourth time, John McCain this week referenced Czechoslavakia, a country that hasn’t existed in 15 or so years

A subject near and dear to my heart. From Thomas Sowell no less.
If a child is not autistic to begin with, almost anything will “cure” him with the passage of time.
What Camarata has also encountered is something that I encountered in my smaller group— parents who have been told to allow their child to be diagnosed as autistic, in order to become eligible for government money that is available, and can be used for speech therapy or whatever other treatment the child might need.
How much this may have contributed to the soaring statistics on the number of children diagnosed as autistic is something that nobody knows— and apparently not many people are talking about it.
We’ve had children brought to our school diagnosed as autistic only to find ourselves asking the question “What the heck is this kid doing here?”
Why have they received “a tag” that will follow them throughout their educational experience?
This ain’t right!

I GUESS MCCAIN WOULD RATHER SIDE WITH STUPID TOO
Republican presidential candidate John McCain has denounced a satirical cartoon on the cover of the New Yorker magazine depicting Barack Obama in Islamic dress beside a burning US flag in the Oval Office though the weekly defended the ”satire” and ”spirit” behind the caricature. As the cartoon sparked a political and journalistic debate, McCain’ campaign quickly condemned it. McCain himself commented at a press conference, ”I think it’s totally inappropriate, and frankly I understand if Senator Obama and his supporters would find it offensive.”

So if a slaughter of Iraq’s sunnis ensues, we’re to turn a blind eye so that it can be blamed on Bush & Cheney. As some lib on here often says Oh the humanity! Kinda reminds me of the leftists’ hero Arianna Huffington when she said “Who cares if Iraqis are killed.”
However, Obama has announced his intention to commit himself to another disaster in the making. As president, he would dispatch reinforcements “to fight al-Qaida in Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
