It’s a relatively active campaign year for Georgia’s Republican Senate caucus.  If my quick scan of the Secretary of State’s website is correct, there are 29 Senate races with an uncontested GOP candidate, three open competitive races, and NINE! with incumbents facing a primary challenge.  That’s not quite a quarter of the caucus facing primary

5 PM Vote Update: Each of the monitored precincts have fewer votes than they did at 2 PM in 2014. The two precincts without the open House race are the furthest behind 2014 results. While I was driving around, I heard Sandra Parrish of WSB Radio saying that fewer than 50,000 votes had been cast

I’m out of the “pundit” business. I don’t do predictions. If most pundits were honest, they would admit that the prediction/punditry game is mostly a parlor game for entertainment purposes to fill time while we wait on election results.

Robert McDonald, former CEO of Procter & Gamble and current Secretary of Veterans Affairs, made an unfortunate comment at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor this morning. After many concerns had been raised about the amount of time some veterans have to wait in order to get a doctor’s appointment, McDonald said, “When

It’s that time of year when literally unbelievable nonsense shows up in your mailbox, such as this accusation from embattled DeKalb District Attorney Robert James accusing his opponent Sherry Boston of handcuffing a victim of domestic violence with two broken arms and leaving her that way for 17 days. No really. The same guy who

This morning, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed announced that the City of Atlanta would not renew its contract with PARKatlanta, the oft-maligned – for good reason – organization that has controlled parking enforcement in Atlanta for the past seven years. Reed also announced that the contract for Atlanta’s parking enforcement will be put out to bid
