You did it! You’re signed up to receive all the latest from columnist Patricia Murphy. Y'all-itics is as much about today’s political outsiders as political insiders — the Georgians who will never be on a ballot but are just as much a part of the process as the people getting elected. This column is all about the players, leaders, politicos and power seekers who give politics here an unmistakable Georgia accent and influence so much of what happens in the South and the nation. It is about y’all, the voters, who put those leaders in power, toss them out and have to live with the consequences of the decisions they make every day. Reach out at Patricia.Murphy@ajc.com if you have something to share. And welcome to Y’all-itics.
