Ponderings on the first five Democrats running in the 10th.

The five announced Democratic candidates for the 10th District US Congress special election in Georgia for Dr. Charlie Norwood's seat appeared before a packed house in the fourth floor of the Athens - Clarke County courthouse Thursday evening. People came from Oconee, Habersham, Madison and other counties as well. Denise Freeman found a new friend in me. This lady is incredibly impressive. She needs to visit white churches as much as possible between now and June 19th. She might surprise more than a few people. She has the most votes against Norwood in a previous election 2000. She lives in Lincolnton and knows the district well. She is a Baptist minister. She could be our Heath Shuler but more likely our Barack Obama. She resonates positive energy although she might be a little fuzzy on the wonky details of how she might tweak Charlie Norwood's now languishing patient bill of rights, at least according to Tim Bryant's talk show this morning on Newstalk 1340 WGAU AM Jim Ma

Four Dems at CC meeting tonight

I know it is late notice, but the four announced Democratic candidates have been invited to tonight's Clarke County Democratic meeting at 6 pm at the Courthouse in Athens if you are interested in attending and listening to Denise Freeman, James Marlow, Terry Holley and a gentleman from Rabun Gap named Jeff Reynolds. Marlow has hired Charlie Bailey as his campaign manager and this former Yahoo marketing exec will have a campaign HQ at the Butler building in Athens on Milledge.

Four Democrats in the 10th?

Karen Solheim sent me an email announcing that the four announced Democratic candidates for the 10th district Congressional Special Election Thursday. I thought there was only two, Terry Holley and Evita Paschall, but now former Yahoo executive Jim Marlow of Lincoln County and a guy from Rabun Gap named Jeff Reynolds. So here is her reply to me. I have the four Dem candidates as Terry Holley and Denise Freeman: 706-359-2232 e-mail: freemanforcongress@hotmail.com James Marlow: 404-841-7181 e-mail: james.marlow@yahoo.com Jeff Reynolds: 706-982-1253 e-mail: jreynolds@rabungap.com Karen
