Anyone else got their eyes on Georgia tonight?

[osmo]

I'm sure Dave's watching.

It looks like Mr. (<-- used very loosely) Baker is going to squeak by giving himself another term to advance his career/agenda at the expense of the innocent Georgian taxpayers. :disgust:

However it appears that his accomplice Mr. Barnes is not as fortunate.

Georgia Election Results Here


Dave- Just thought you'd like to know that we haven't forgotten about you, not even here in MI.
Mrs Osmo and I wish you and Donna well!

Osmo.

Both my wife and I remembered Dave when we voted today in GA! It is a shame that Ms. Goessling didn't campaign cause she basically gave it to Baker.

Yes, Dave was at the edge of the chair all night long...poor Donna everytime she nodded off I prodded her back up with more and more good news as the numbers rolled in after midnight.

Thank you everyone for thinking of Donna and I , <------------- (These are again Happy Tears)

I already wrote and thanked Dan C for what he wrote and told him I am confident in that what he wrote and I have on mcowen.com did in fact have an impact on the elections here in Georgia. The web counter showed hundreds of hits the last two weeks coming from Political and News Media sites searching for Governor Barnes and Senator Cleland. I am happy to report they have indeed both been ousted from Office by wide margins.

While it is a shame that Thurbert Baker won in his bid to remain Attorney General he will not have the power that he had before with his buddies in Office. I give credit to the Lady that tried to run against him, she was completely unknown and had no war chest to campaign with. I know for a fact that she tried sacrificing by borrowing on personal credit card. I regret that Donna and I were not able to help more with her bid.

Fobot, as for the Governor, it was more than just the Teachers across the State he ticked off that "got" him. The air of arrogance was so rampant as that "club" had control of the State for 132 years. The State speaker was in political power for over 40 years and as speaker for 28 years as he was ousted handily as well.

Everyone thanks Senator Max Cleland for his Patiotism and service however it was clear his voting record siding with political interests first and no longer the people first was enough.

Georgia and the Country is changed this morning, no one knows what exactly that will mean but we do know things will not be as they were.

maybe Barnes should start practicing a new line, might I suggest-

"Do you want fries with that?"

Voting people out is fun.

I wouldn't be too concerned about 'ol Roy. He's a multi-millionaire. Add to that whatever personal gain may have been made by years of pork-barrel... I don't think he'll be flipping burgers.

Gotta be a little blow to the 'ol ego though. Feeling a little down this morning Roy?
well... BUAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! :Q

Thurbie will turn into a conservative so fast it'll make your head swim. He'll be lock-step in a heartbeat with the new Governor, because he's always been a sell-out in order to hold office. He'll also claim he was ALWAYS conservative. Very two-dimensional, and very predictable.

We'll nail him on the next round.

I was very happy when I heard this on NPR's Morning Edition. I'm sure the dog thought I fell down in the shower because I let out a little yell.

I'll keep my personal political views to myself.

Viztech is right, no place for them here!

Tom,

I cetainly have not said it enough, many thanks to what you wrote and your efforts and support too during that trying time. You also made it into the Discovery and evidence pile of writings sent by the State. I recently got to meet and told LastKnight at the AMD event this week that his writings to the Former (YES!!!) Governor were also in the stack of Messages sent to the Governor's and Attorney General's office as well.
