Well at least Olens was smart enough to realize that no metro-Atlantan will ever be elected Governor.

Westmoreland will surely be a disaster — but I’m not sure he will be any worse than the current disaster.

Enjoy your car — because none of the GOP governor-hopefuls will do a thing to fix the transportation mess in this state.

kindergarten math (3:29 p.m.): Good grief, you are absolutely correct. I fixed it. That was my mistake, not his. I appreciate your calling it to my attention!

Westmoreland running for gov is DOA! At least developers would be happy. What a retard!

Olens is bought and paid for by developers. I have watched him county commission meetings and was thought very little of him He has accomplished nothing other than to give more to developers. He stepped into the water wars, only to open the county to scrutiny when we were keeping too much water out of Allatoona. The guy is a disgrace to the county.

It’s funny, I can’t vote for Ox at all. I’m not likely to vote for Handel (depending on how the race shackes out), but I can, at this point, see myself voting for Westmoreland. He seems to be a fiscal conservative which I can deal with, enough of these social conserves that spend like dems…

As a Ga Dem, I realize there is little chance a Dem will win the Governorship. So the best I can hope for is certain GOPers to NOT win. Westmoreland would be a disaster, he would be an embarrasment for our state. He has said some really dumb things, including calling our president “uppity”. We don’t need that at the statehouse. I also fear Karen Handel, she was also an embarassment to our state during the election last year. I guess of the GOPers Oxendine would be the least damaging.

Ten million dollars would be 8 figures; not 7 figures.
