Stephen Simpson Announces Candidacy During Event at Oconee Veterans Park

I want to thank everyone who came to the Watkinsville's Ashford on Main last night for the Multi-County gathering, but especially vice chair Pat Adams for going above and beyond the call of duty with cleaning up and setting up the event. Oconee County Democratic Committee member Nancy DeRemo stuck around late with the clean up, as did retired Law School Professor Sarajane Love. Peggy Law and Robert Wyatt worked long and hard setting up and bringing food, as did Wendy Wade and Carolyn Crawford. Right now I am so tired from the event that I cannot even think straight so please forgive me if I am forgetting anyone.  Thanks to the announced US Senate candidate Dr. Branko Radulovacki from Atlanta for coming up and speaking passionately and concisely about his campaign and background. "Dr. Rad" spoke about his background from Chicago and the former Yugoslavia and made a few fans at this event. Marvin Nunnally spoke extemporaneously and without much warning about his Whit...

Oconee Restaurant Inspections: Unclean Equipment, Improper Cooling Times and Other Violations

The demographic timebomb continues to tick for the Republican Party, and if you believe Democratic analysts at the national level, the ticking is loudest right here in Georgia, which they’re eying as the next state to follow Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico in the transition from red to blue. Ruy Teixeira, a well-known liberal political analyst and author who has focused on the electoral impact of demography, puts the tipping point for Georgia around the 2020 election cycle. “The geographical locus of that change will likely be in the burgeoning Atlanta metropolitan area, whose share of the statewide vote continues to grow (up to 54 percent in the 2012 election),” Teixeira wrote this week. “It is here that the new Georgia is taking shape most clearly.” “Reflecting these changes, Obama carried the Atlanta metro in both 2008 and 2012, by 4 points and 1 point, respectively,” he wrote. “That’s a 21-point Democratic swing from the 1988 presidential election. The changes — and the i...
