The meeting with Michelle Nunn here made the NY Times!

Wow! We are the smallest county in the state....I would never think the NYT would notice anything we did. But she did draw a good and very enthusiastic crowd.

hatred that has hurt this country the past 14 years.

I suspect there will be a run-off, and I fear in the end that the right wing haters will rally for one of their own.

which is probably why the NYT picked up on this. Whether she can overcome the rural haters remains to be seen. I was certainly impressed at the crowd in our area.

in hopes that racist fears will get out the vote from the usual suspects.

I agree, she has done very well and has a real chance to pull this off.

Even ole Zell Miller endorsed her.

I suspect Zell had some issues with Jimmy Carter. Nathan Deal is a slimy piece of crud. Would love to see him upset.
