Athens Banner-Herald Endorses Bobby Saxon for Congress 
 
Athens, GA - Today, the Athens Banner-Herald officially endorsed conservative Democrat Bobby Saxon as the congressional candidate best able to help the 10th District through these tough economic times. 
 
The paper has traditionally endorsed Republican candidates for major office, including an endorsement of Congressman Paul Broun just 15 months ago.  In this case, however, they justified their decision by citing Saxon's Iraq war experience, as well as his ability to communicate to a "powerful effect." 
 
In the endorsement, the paper stated, "This is no time for the sloganeering and assorted other partisan cheap shots that have come to define the civic discourse in this country; it's a time for people who can lift the political process out of those sorry depths".
 
In the only debate Congressman Broun agreed to appear in, the paper stated that Broun "came off sounding like a monologue from a fringe candidate".  They added, "In the one chance he gave voters to see, head-to-head with his challenger, whether he was up to meeting the challenges of this sobering hour in American history, Broun failed, and failed miserably."
 
In the closing for their endorsement of Saxon, the paper stated, "The best choice in the 10th Congressional District race could hardly be clearer. It's Bobby Saxon." 

Bobby Saxon is an Iraq War combat veteran and the owner of an ACT! software training and consulting company that focuses on the technology needs of small businesses.  Bobby grew up in Oconee County and now lives in Nicholson, GA. He is a Major in the Georgia Army National Guard and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pentagon. Bobby attends Bethany United Methodist Church, is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2872 in Athens, GA, the American Legion, Post 56 in Jefferson, GA, and a life member of AMVETS post 10 in Athens, GA.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
