Your morning jolt: Republicans put distance between themselves and the state Capitol | Political Insider

This is some great reporting right on the heels of a Primary Tuesday in Georgia.
I recommend voting for the Democratic Porters for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, although I think Roy will win without a run-off.
I now wish I had voted for Jeff Chapman as a protest vote in the G.O.P. governor's race, but instead I marked Handel. I would like to see an Oxendine - Deal run-off for the sheer idiocy and cannibalism it would produce, but would bet instead on Oxendine - Handel. I may switch in the run off as a tactical move and not to keep supporting anyone endorsed by Sarah Palin, even for strategic reasons.
Anyone but Hudgens in the insurance commissioners race, but he may win because he spent wisely on TV ads. There will surely be an August run-off on this.
The two G.O.P. races I am most interested in are MacGinnitie - Kemp for G.O.P. nomination for Secretary of State and the local Margaret Hale - Tammy Gilland locally. Also the Democratic race featuring Keith Heard and Dr. Holly Ward in Athens 113th and the Kirk Shook - Hank Huckaby - Tommy Malcom contest in the 113th Republican race to replace Bob Smith. Shook's radio ads shook up one local voice that she requested and received a replacement from Miami on the spot for the Cox radio spot. I wonder how many real votes showed up at the Cracker Barrel Saturday?

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
