Matthews, Jr. From: youngdemsofuga@GMAIL.COM Subject: Attorney General Thurbert Baker Tonight To: YDEM-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker will be speaking at tonight's meeting of UGA Young Democrats, in room 250 of the Miller Learning center at 6:15 pm.

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.
