From the candidate who I think would do the best for Georgia in replacing Sonny Perdue: From: DuBose Porter <dubose@porterforgeorgia.com> To: danjmatt@bellsouth.net Sent: Fri, February 26, 2010 6:43:57 AM Subject: DuBose's Blog: My wife's announcement. My wife, Carol Porter, announces her candidacy for Lt. Governor. (AP Photo/Erik S. Lesser) "My wife, Carol, announced she is running for Lt. Governor of the state of Georgia today. Over the last several weeks, there has been a viral movement to draft Carol for Lt. Governor that has taken on a life of its own. There truly is no one more qualified or who knows the issues better. Carol is an awesome person and would make an awesome Lt. Governor. She announced this morning at 11 a.m. and as of 6:00 p.m. today, google shows there have been 123 stories posted on her announcement, including The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post . It seems Georgia is finding...

The AJC's excellent writer Jim Galloway's take on the Carol Porter and DuBose Porter political ticket for Georgia. Good quotes and links giving the Michael Thurmond and Casey Cagle positions as well. Pete McCommons of Flagpole seems to like that Mike has announced to him (and seemingly no one else) for Lt. Governor.

The Georgia Governor's race appears to be more and more a Roy Barnes versus John Oxendine match if the money and tainted poll results are any indication. Georgians have been known to revolt from the conventional wisdom.  I would rather have a Team Porter ticket vs. a Handel-Cagle on the G.O.P. side. In governor's race, Barnes formidable to Democratic opponents  | ajc.com Posted using ShareThis

OK, so we might not have as many people there as there were teabaggers on a flatbed Thursday. We might have some rain. We might have some problems finding the tennis pavilion to the rear left of the new park. But persevere and promise to try to remember to come out Sunday to see General David Poythress and Representative DuBose Porter on the long haul toward the Governor's mansion. Face it, Oconee is as red a county in Georgia, so best we start getting our candidate appearances on now since they will be getting less and less frequent as we head toward 2010. So come have some fun, rain or shine, in the back of the Oconee Veterans Park at 3500 Hog Mountain Road on State Route 53 between the high schools. Together we can reclaim Georgia. State chair Jane Kidd is expected to attend and we have invited Roy Barnes and Thurbert Baker, so we shall see.

The Gubernatorial guest list grew by one for the Oconee County, Georgia Democratic Committee's inaugural Gubernatorial Ice Cream Social at Oconee Veterans Park Tennis Pavilion in the rear left of the park at 3500 Hog Mountain Road (State Route 53). State Representative DuBose Porter (above) of Fitzgerald confirmed his appearance at the event Sunday from 3 to 5 pm in the event across the street from Herman C. Michael Park in what has been referred to as the Eastville area of Oconee County kind of between the public High Schools (North Oconee and Oconee County). Porter joins David Poythress (below) at the event. The Irish music playing band Repent at Leisure featuing Joe Willey and Dan Everett will be performing at the event, and there will be ice cream served. All are welcome regardless of affiliation, geographic residency or any other factors.

I have always thought fondly of Lt. Governor Casey Cagle since he rescued the state of Georgia with the specter of Ralph Reed as second in command. I thought he was the odds-on favorite for Governor post-Sonny Perdue. Now the race is truly wide open. Roy Barnes has yet to announce, and technically I do not think General Poythress has announced either (but I could be wrong on that). It will be interesting to see how this shift shakes the Georgia Gubernatorial race 2010 and this weekend when Poythress and perhaps Attorney General Thurbert Baker and Representative DuBose Porter make an appearance in Oconee County at the Veterans Memorial Park's Tennis Pavilion to the back left in the massive new complex at 3500 Hog Mountain Road from 3-5 pm. Somebody should have extended an invitation to Roy Barnes to come to Oconee County as well.
