1. I thought that he's running for Lt. Governor?
Also, could you imaging what the Repukes or the so-called MSM would say if we had someone as vitriolic and extreme as Reed??

6. They got his middle initial wrong, but the rest looks unassailable
It's Ralph E. Reed, not Ralph X. Reed, and, as others have noted, he's going for Lieutenant Governor. Just about everything else in the flier is opinion and couldn't be considered either accurate or inaccurate.

9. Have you heard of James Sugg? He writes for Creative Loafing
well, he has a blog and writes for them as well.

I love reading his stuff, and he HATES Ralph Reed.

To wit:

Oh, Ralph, Say It Ain't So (God Might Smite You)

When Ralph Reed (a.k.a. Dorian Gray, Baby Jesus) Ralph_reed sermonizes, you're supposed to believe that God is standing to the right of the Christian Coalition founder and St. Peter is to the left, with a host of cherubim and seraphim chanting hallelujahs in the background.

But do I smell some sulfur?

Let's see. Reed was paid $4 million to lobby for closing an Indian-owned casino in Sante Fe. He says -- and who would More_bundles_of_cash ever doubt God's mouthpiece -- he didn't know the bundles of cash came from rival Indian tribes.

And, then he was hired to help torpedo a state lottery in Alabama. He delivered $1.15 million in donations -- moolah he claims he didn't know came from an Indian casino in Biloxi.

But now, a Republican newsletter -- that's right, hard-core GOPers -- is making a devilish disclosure about Reed, who Devilgop operates through his Century Strategies in the Atlanta suburban county of Gwinnett. Reed is the divinely chosen candidate of the religious loonies for Georgia lite guv in the 2006 elections.

The Political Vine -- sometimes over the top but always entertaining -- reports that a subcontractor to Century Strategies noticed Reed was sending out mass mailings in the anti-lottery campaign using expensive first-class postage. The subcontractor asked where the money was coming from, and a Reed acolyte responded: "That's the big joke around here! Biloxi casinos!"

Oh, woe.
