Morning Reads for Primary Day, Tuesday, May 22

Good morning! Y’all are in luck, because I have special double-secret probation access to a preview of the likely GOP runoff.

• Did you vote? Here are down-ballot races to watch, as well as how several top-ticket candidates are making their final pitches to voters. Here’s a look at what’s likely to influence voter this go-round.
• Is a Clinton endorsement (either Clinton) a “liability?”
• Decatur, which is not a sanctuary city because there are no sanctuary cities in Georgia, held a press conference yesterday to reiterate this point, and also to invite Casey Cagle to have coffee with the police chief. (He should totally do it, too – they have some fantastic coffee spots in Decatur.)
• It’s a sneak peek at the new Clermont Hotel! (Confidential to one Buckhead-based GOP gubernatorial candidate: the Hotel is entirely separate from the Lounge; while I know that the Holy Spirit was present at the Lounge back in the summer 2000, I cannot speak to its presence at the Hotel during those years.)
• You want to see Mommy Wars? Walk into a room of new mothers and say ask them how they feel about co-sleeping versus crib-sleeping. NPR reports that pediatricians are rethinking their previous recommendations against co-sleeping. Then ask that same cohort about cloth or disposable, and if you’re feeling bold, toddler leashes. (I am #teamtoddlerleash.)
• “Nighttime is the best time” for a cross-country road trip. (I have spent many an overnight during a hurricane listening to WWL broadcast the latest from New Orleans.)
• Luci Baines Johnson finally received her nursing degree from Georgetown University.
• I’ve driven over five of America’s iconic bridges.
• In the Georgia House, we joke that the Senate is the enemy, but not, like, literally. Apparently things are different in Louisiana (that’s the understatement of the year…)
• Savannah’s hidden castle.
