Guiliani Traffic Jam

[dccrossman]

Why in my town?

Guess it's my punishment for living in North Georgia. I live in the Woodstock area. Downtown, where the two main roads cross and there's a railroad track, is the "Right Wing Cafe". Yes, that's really the name.

They're hosting a lunch today with Rudy, 9-11, Rudy, from 11:00 - 12:30 and tying up any traffic trying to pass through downtown.

I'm sure it's some sort of GOTV for Chambliss. *sigh*

1. Sorry to hear that. Over here in Athens, Jim Martin dropped by to hang out with R.E.M.

at a fund raiser held by longtime REM lawyer, Bertis Downs.

In bad news, Newt Gingrich is going to lecture at the UGA law school next year.

Michael Stipe and Bill Berry were actually the only band members in attendance, but about 300 people gathered at the Downs’ Cobb Street home. Not bad for a man who drew a dozen people to an Athens fundraiser during the primary and didn’t even bring any special guests like Al Gore, who stumped for Martin in Atlanta Sunday night. In fact, Martin had to leave early to drive back to Atlanta in his newly tricked-out airport shuttle/church van of a campaign bus.

Bertis Downs, who helps bankroll the campaigns of just about every progressive candidate around, said he initially thought Chambliss would sneak through without a runoff. He was in Chile with R.E.M. on Election Night and, when they came back to the states, were surprised at the level of interest in the race and decided to put together the fundraiser.

Like newlyweds, politicians don’t know how much cash they hauled in until they open the envelopes at the end of the night. Six figures, though, would not be outside the realm of possibility.

Democrats still seem a little dazed by all the attention given to a race that supposed to be such a blowout that the highest-profile candidate they could recruit was a former state representative who lost a statewide race for lieutenant governor by double digits just two years ago.

Martin “has put Georgia in play in national politics,” Mayor Heidi Davison said. “Who would’ve thought?”

2. What a great plan. Giuliani was so popular during the primaries.

4. I've searched and searched

and I'm convinced the photos of that guy and his clown wife on the Florida fan boat whipping around a swamp have all but been scrubbed from the tubes


and that makes me sad. It was as ludicrous as the Queen Mum ride shotgun in a Monster Truck

3. Is the Klan coming to join in from Cobb County?

I empathize-- used to live in your "neck of the woods"... I moved to Colorado on the very day Newt returned in disgrace from losing his House Majority Leader Position--ran into him (literally) at Atlanta Hartsfeld Airport, which seemed very poetic to me. Keep up the good fight.
