Governor’s Race, Senate Edition: Williams V Cagle
The Georgia General Assembly has begun with 39 business days left before candidates can start sending fundraising emails again. The trade off is that candidates who remain in their elective office have a platform and megaphone to generate “earned media” – essentially letting news media distribute their messages for them.
Senator Michael Williams started this morning:
Awkward! Michael @williamsforga takes the Senate floor to announce it’s “time for political shenanigans in Georgia to come to an end” as @CaseyCagle watches. Both are running for Georgia gov. #gapol pic.twitter.com/rNt15xf9Fe

Casey Cagle’s Campaign Manager decided to throw slightly more than a brush back pitch.
As Georgians across the state rally for UGA, let’s reflect on the fact that @williamsforga is a total phony! #gapol #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/1fK2GRCukA

It’s one thing to be a BAMA fan, it’s another to be a BAMA fan pretending to be a Dawg fan for political gain! #gapol pic.twitter.com/rm0EmOqlIR

It’s one thing to call someone a low down no good member of “Teh Establishment”. It’s quite another to call someone a traitor to Bulldog Nation hours before the biggest game in a generation.
Today’s round goes to Cagle. At least 39 more to come.

Can we make it stop now please….
Oh honey. It hasn’t even really started…
Let me live in my bubble way down here at the end of I-16 for a little while longer….
In actuality it’s more like the ultimate Redneck Superbowl as most of both states’ populations get to celebrate their perception of the primary reason their university system exists. Using it as a foil in the Governor’s race just adds to the joke.
Put a “shot jar” on the podium. Every time one politician takes a “shot” at another politician he/she must put a $100 bill in the jar. Donate the proceeds to a worthy charity of Charlie’s choice!!!
