Game-changer: Sarah Palin endorses Karen Handel in GOP race for governor
We have a game-changer in the Republican contest for governor.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin today endorsed former secretary of state Karen Handel and her “underdog” bid for the GOP nomination.
The Handel endorsement appeared on Palin’s Facebook page – the same manner in which she endorsed GOP candidate for governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma last month.
Palin’s endorsement of Nikki Haley in the Republican race for governor of South Carolina was deemed crucial to Haley’s surge last month.
While Bill Clinton’s endorsement of Thurbert Baker in the Democratic race for governor today was a sure thing — the attorney general had stuck with Hillary Clinton in the ‘08 presidential campaign — the Palin endorsement has been touch-and-go.
Karen Handel
The popular former Alaskan governor was in town two weeks ago at a charity event. Handel’s rivals – former congressman Nathan Deal, state Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine and former state senator Eric Johnson of Savannah – all are presumed to have made entreaties to forestall or intercept an endorsement of Handel.
Palin specifically cited Handel’s focus on ethics and her persona as a “reformer” – both topics of her first TV ad last week, slamming all three major rivals.
You know that the GOP establishment has been lined up against Oxendine – seen as a more vulnerable candidate in a race against Democrat Roy Barnes. The Ox himself has talked about it.
If it’s seen as a Republican signal to consolidate their anti-Ox efforts, Palin’s endorsement could change the rhythm of the GOP race for governor. A reaction posted on the Facebook page of one Oxendine staffer:
To paraphrase Herman Cain, “They think we are stupid.” That is why women from outside of Georgia are coming in trying to tell us who to vote for. Surprise, they are all telling us to vote for the woman!
Certainly it will make last-minute fund-raising for Handel easier. According to finance disclosures released last week, as of June 30 she had only $667,840 on hand for media buys – one, perhaps two rounds of TV ads.
Karen Handel will be going for a photo with Sarah Palin -- something like this. Associated Press.
The Facebook endorsement directs supporters nationwide to the contribution page on Handel’s web site.
But the key will be whether Palin will make the trip to Georgia for a side-by-side appearance with Handel within the next seven days. Certainly, that’s what Handel will be shooting for. Think about the impact of a joint appearance by both Palin and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who endorsed Handel earlier this month.
Following is the full endorsement posted by Palin:
I’m proud to lend my support to a great commonsense conservative woman running for Governor this year in the Peach State. My recent visit back to this beautiful area allowed me to meet more of the patriotic Americans who call Georgia home and who are ready for a reformer to help strengthen their families, businesses, state and, ultimately, our United States.
“Karen Handel is that reformer. Throughout her career in public office – from serving as Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to Georgia’s Secretary of State – Karen has brought the common sense fiscal discipline and positive change in government that is needed now more than ever.
“Though considered an underdog candidate (more power to her!), this pro-life, pro-Constitutionalist with a can-do attitude and a record of fighting for ethics in government is ready to serve in the Governor’s Office. She’ll balance budgets and help spur Georgia’s economy. Her plan will contribute to America’s roadmap which can benefit all of us.”

Voting Rights Watchdogs Cite Ethics Issues, Call on Handel to Withdraw
ATLANTA, GA – Leaders from two of Georgia’s largest voting rights watchdog groups personally appealed today for former Secretary of State (SOS) Karen Handel to withdraw her gubernatorial bid on grounds of unethical conduct during her tenure as Secretary of State. The leaders, John Fortuin, co-founder of Defenders of Democracy and Garland Favorito, founder of VoterGA, presented evidence that Mrs. Handel:
• took $25,000 in campaign contributions from individuals directly connected to the voting machine vendor lobbying firm, Massey and Bowers;
• reversed her position and supported Georgia’s unverifiable voting machines while accepting the contributions;
• Appointed a former lobbyist partner, Rob Simms, as her deputy, thus allowing the lobbying firm to have undue influence and control over the SOS office;
• conducted politically motivated investigations as cited in many of 63 impeachment articles filed at the General Assembly against her Inspector General, Shawn LaGrua;
Citizens also challenged state and local news media to investigate ethics questions evenly for all candidates. Mr. Fortuin elaborated: “These are some of the most serious ethics charges that have been raised against any public official. They illustrate in part, how the Secretary of State office has been an epicenter of political corruption for 8 years. Former secretaries have historically gotten a free pass from state and local media on ethics questions even when unethical conduct shows them to be unfit for public office.”
The leaders contend that impeachment articles and supporting documents cited in a Lowndes County State Election Board (SEB) case clearly indicate how a voting machine technician was framed to cover-up violations committed by an elections supervisor who was an acquaintance of Karen Handel. They also cited a December 2009 SEB petitioning case where as chairwoman, Handel referred a former county commissioner for a felony forgery investigation even when there was no probable cause and no evidence that he ever forged any petition signature. The commissioner was petitioning for another commissioner to run against a personal acquaintance of Karen Handel. Both victims in these cases have offered to be available to the press.

For Handle, this endorsement pretty much sews up the brain-dead vote. I mean, when you get the sanctified embrace from a wo-man who took 7 years and 8 colleges to graduate from puhtater U, well, there it is. Palin is so dumb she thinks Alien v. Predator is a Supreme Court decision. She thinks The Flintstones is a documentary. And that TOP GUN is a biopic of “maverick” John McCain.

Seems to me like mostly the only people on here “blogging” are campaign staffers. What the real voters of this state should do is cut and paste blogs like this and every other one for the past two months as a lesson in — “how many lies politicians will tell and then act like they weren’t aware they were lies” or deny saying them.
Let’s give the run down:
Handel says she’s not a career politician and runs against the good ole boys: but other than a quick job at KPMG has never done anything that didn’t involve politics or governmental relations; oh, and she’s the hand-picked puppet of the folks who backed Sonny Perdue….and she has her own “ethics issues” — just ask the DOJ
Oxendine claims to be an “outsider” — who is he kidding — his whole career was made based upon ties to the GA Democratic party from his father (former Workers Comp Board Chairman and huge ally of Zell Miller) and Oxendine has been dogged by ethics, corruption, marital issues and insider politics issues from day one;
But, since Atlanta media spend 99% of their time focusing on these two candidates they lead the race….
Neither of them are qualified to be governor. Period — but one will likely end up in the position. Sad.

Although I am a conservative Republican, I would have a hard time voting for Handel because of the failure of her office to properly investigate the absentee voter problem in Fannin County, GA, a few of years back. It made headlines in the papers up here many times(The Fannin Sentinel) I believe it was an alleged cover up and mis-treatment of absentee voters by her investigator. She made some snotty comments that also appeared in that paper trying to sweep it under the rug. Although the case involved mostly Democrat voters I believe it is indefensible to intentionally deprive anyone of the right to cast their ballot and have it counted. A little research on some of the back issues of The Fannin Sentinel would be pretty revealing to some of her opponents. Also some of the past AJC stories on Handel’s other antics are quite interesting. I am surprised that none of her opponents has looked into this and commented on it. Pretty sloppy opposition research in my opinion!

I’m a fairly intelligent ol’ guy who just cannot understand why Sarah Palin is considered such a big deal in the Republican/Tea Party.
Sarah Palin has shown herself to be a “drive-by pundit” who only exposes herself to friendly media and those who will throw her beach ball questions and be thrilled to hear her home spun sound bites.
Would to God she would run for President in 2012, but that will never happen. She’s not up to the tough questions. And, her “cuteness” wears thin after a while.

Metro Coach, Bush got into Yale for way different reasons than Obama got into Columbia and Harvard. There is a difference in having your dad (Yale alumni) talk to people do you can get into school and then graduating with a C average as compared to growing up in a middle class family and making a name for yourself by going to Columbia then Harvard to become the editor of the Harvard Law Review.
All of the spending that Obama has done since he has been in office has been simply economic recovery spending. As an economics/political science student at Emory, I see his stimulus package and other expenditures as simple Keynesian economics. It always takes longer and faces more opposition when trying to recover. Don’t believe everything you hear on Fox news.
And as far as any of the big candidates on the GOP side goes: Oxendine is corrupt as hell and wants to scrap the state income tax (how the hell will we pay for anything?); Handel wants to scrap the state income tax (again, how the hell will we pay for anything?) and cut thousands of state employees jobs’; and Deal resigned from Congress to avoid an ethics probe and he could care less about the HOPE scholarship program. And the scary thing is that all of these candidates (including some Democratic ones) say that their religion influences their policy decisions and want to integrate religion more into government. WTF?! Talk about scariest thinking ever…

A school teacher? Someone’s ignorance is showing – the school teacher is Cox. Handel has more executive experience than the other guys combined. From the private sector to Fulton Commission Chair and SoS, she has private and public sector experience especially at the executive level. I’m not saying I will vote for her but I will credit her for a very stable background – better than career elected officials who had their chance in office but suddenly come up with “wonderful” ideas when running for something larger.

Red –”Handel has more executive experience than the other guys combined. From the private sector to Fulton Commission Chair and SoS, she has private and public sector experience”
What the heck have you been smoking? Even though I think Oxendine is a terrible choice as Governor he did run a law practice for many years. Eric Johnson has been a succesful architect for decades, and Deal was in the army and practiced law before being elected.
Handel worked a bit job for Hallmark and did a marketing job for the atlanta office at KPMG — exactly when was she an executive? Without a college degree and CPA NOBODY is an executive at KPMG — usually not unless they also have an MBA or JD.

If Karen Handels references and experience are based on the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, the Fulton County Commission and her stint as Sec of State then she should be considering retirement. She was ineffective and merely a front woman for other people. She is completely incompetent. Remember how well she ran the elections in 2008?
I do and I live in Fulton County. This woman accomplished zero. Perhaps she could use her free time and pursue an education. As for “she deserves to be Governor, she had a tough home life as a child”, that doesn’t work for me. Life is fair you just keep moving forward. I need a Governor with experience and discipline who knows how to set goals and accomplish them. I think I will vote for Poythress now that I think about it.

MCF – a law practice? Seriously? Is that it? Architect? One job in a small town? Is that all you have in the credibility realm? CoS to the VP’s wife. Executive for KPMG and Ciba Vision – if you had any clue you’d know these are not small firms by any means. She was president and CEO of the Fulton Chamber – again no small town job in itself. Fulton Co Commission Chair and Secretary of State are again no small feats.
But I guess being an architect somehow supercedes running a county government or the chamber of that county. Same with a lawyer. Again, I’m not her ‘champion’ but I’m saying you are an idiot for discounting her background. Somehow an architect gives one the background needed to run the state? A lawyer? I’ll give you another crack to tell me how these other guys have somehow done so much to elevate themselves to running a state – especially in the light you portray them in….

The country is already laughing at us. Bubba running the state over the past 8 years is plenty of comedy in itself. Criminals and shady characters on the slate stacked with special interests running their campaigns make a no degree woman look appealing.
I find it ironic that the disguised staffers of the other campaigns are on here mocking someone with no degree running for office. Looking at the “quality” of the others running who happen to hold degrees – a few even higher than a BA – it seems the higher the degrees the more incompetent and unethical you get. The American dream lives on – so does this snobbish elitist attitude reminiscent of the Democrats.

This Palin endorsement really complicates the election, especially for Democrats like myself. It is a shame that the Dems are in full retreat nationally because all the guys opposing multi-millionaire Barnes in Georgia are decent candidates who would, in my opinion, do a much better job. The guys on the GOP side all have ethical problems that should prevent them from winning. Since I assume multi-millionaire Barnes will win the Dem primary, I was prepared to vote for Handel in the fall. But now, voting for anyone associated with Palin makes me sick. If this Palin endorsement becomes what I think it will become, that means that slimeball Barnes might make it back to the governor’s mansion. That concept — Palin makes it happen for Barnes –leaves me speechless.
Finally, for you Palin admirers, just remember: If Sarah Palin looked like Golda Meir, no one would be talking about her today. Yes, she is a hot lady but she is really a total airhead.

Mr. Deal had indeed violated House ethics rules by using congressional resources to influence Georgia state officials for his personal financial benefit. Most damningly, however, the OCE found that Mr. Deal provided incorrect information on his personal financial disclosure forms. Importantly, OCE issued the damning report after Deal resigned.
The House Ethics Committee, however, never pursued the case after Deal left the House.
But, Deal isn’t out of the woods. He’s facing a state ethics probe now:
The state Ethics Commission is investigating a complaint filed against former congressman and current gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal over his use of campaign funds to pay legal fees to defend himself in a federal ethics probe.
The Associated Press reported in April that Deal, a Republican, had used more than $19,000 in contributions from his state campaign account to pay legal fees related to a congressional ethics investigation.

She offers no solutions to the problems she points out except to say that a momma grizzly takes care of her cubs… or something to that effect. If we are going to win races this fall AND effect change, then we need candidates with substance. And complaining with no ideas how to fix this broken country does not equal substance.

Her flyer indicated she was Chief of Staff for Marilyn Quayle – anyone else think this is an important job, let alone something you would brag about? Also, who thinks being Governor of Alaska, population far less than metro atlanta, is a big job? Also, if you quit 2 years into a 4 year term (which NO ONE in the armed forces could do), would that give you more or less credibility? As stated, Palin’s gender bias is very, very pronounced. 1 week to go -we shall see if she has overshot her ability (Palin).

Red — none of my posts suggest who anyone here should vote for — while you seem to only push Handel. Hate to inform you but running a law practice, architectural firm, or any business enterprise ARE in fact being executives in the private sector. As opposed to others on here — I don’t care about how she graduated high school. I believe her when she says she got a diploma — somebody can verify that is my guess. But the way she ambiguously pads her “resume” would get her fired from most any employer. But then again it seems to be the way she “handels” everything…. ambiguous, non-descript, never actually says anything. As long as people hear “not a career politician, and not a good ole boy” that should be enough in your opinion?
Since you know so much about Handel’s resume — enlighten us. Exactly what was her “executive level” position at CIBA? Funny — it doesn’t actually mention what title she had anywhere in any bio I’ve ever seen her publish. Just her usual non-descript ambiguous language that she can always say meant something different when questioned. Enlighten us? Please — and explain why doing marketing at KPMG answering to a partner in the firm somehow qualifies her as an executive? I really want to know — maybe she should be considered qualified based upon that.
Everything else she has done has been either in politics and/or government related services. Sorry but even North Fulton Chamber is government related. And the reviews on her time there aren’t exactly glowing with praise.
And her battles with the DOJ over diltuing minority voting power and ethics issues with her limited powers as SOS don’t bode well for GA either.

If we’re going to compare resume’s I’d like someone to offer a credible defense of their candidate and tell me based on the same standard they applied for Handel, their candidate is a better choice.

Are you applying the same scrutiny to the other candidates as well? Because if you were, there are enough issues on the other candidates to disqualify them as well.
