Heed Joe Biden's advice and vote today Halloween Friday, because you cannot vote Monday or Wednesday next week.

You need more than a high school education to learn the law, Karen Handel. Vote Jim Powell for Public Service Commission. Saw him today at the Varsity. Woven brightly, Daniel J.

Powell's right to run in Tuesday's election for a seat on the Public Service Commission. Secretary of State Karen Handel had appealed a Fulton County Superior Court ruling that sided with Powell and overturned her decision finding Powell ineligible to run based on where he lived. In June 2008, Handel first challenged Powell's qualifications a month after he filed his intent to run as a Democrat against Republican Lauren McDonald for the PSC District 4 post. She argued that a homestead

Winning the Senate race in Georgia is essential to any 60-seat scenario, so Democrats must be aware of this possibility.   If No Candidate Gets at Least 50%, a Runoff Occurs   Election rules in Georgia stipulate th
