Collins Send out RoboCalls Against Zoller on Social Issues (audio)
Just got this on my voice mail from the Collins camp. To go this negative in this way makes me think that the poll numbers are bad for Doug and its now “no holds barred.” Georgian’s don’t like this kind of negative attack ad, however. And this is all the audio that I received, so...
Davidson Complaint Just A Political Stunt
I was disappointed to read in The Gainesville Times today a hack story about a bar complaint filed against Hall County Probate Court candidate Book Davidson by some disinherited relatives of a will Brook drafted.

South Hall Republican Club Candidate Forum
About 150 spectators, candidates, reporters, and staff attended the South Hall Republican Club Form on August 14, 2012.

Better late then never, here is the video from the Probate Judge / Tax Commissioner Debate put on by the Hall GOP on 7-27-12 in Gainesville, Georgia. Part 2 was corrupted in the camera, and Part 3 would not complete the upload to YouTube until last night for some reason. Although the primary election is...
Next!
Congratulations to the winners. Condolences to the losers. It was a hard fought political battle, with no violence, and we are a better Country for process. We all learn from such elections. Some learn before, some during, and some after. We all learned that Hall County is not as conservative, nor as Republican, as it...
(R)eal (R)epublican Voter Guide – Primary 2012
Unlike other pundits, I make no apologies for my opinion. The difference between me and the mainstream media is that here you can tell what is opinion. All that follows is my personal opinion about political figures engaged in contested elections for office. Everything I discuss is about relevant attributes of the candidates or their...
