John Barrow, NRCC hit the ground with ads in the 12th
Who’ll win the Republican nomination in the race for the 12th Congressional District in Georgia tonight — Rick Allen or Lee Anderson?
U.S. Rep. John Barrow, D-Augusta, doesn’t care. And neither does the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Both released ads Tuesday in advance of tonight’s results. Barrow, anticipating that the GOP will characterize him as a full partner of President Barack Obama, has this TV spot:
Here’s the radio spot from the NRCC, now airing in east and south Georgia, using audio from Barrow’s 2010 contest:

If you are a Dixiecrat female and get pregnant as a result of a rape, then you consented. Keep Akin alive!

As has been said, “Birds of a feather . . .”
I’ll be sending a donation to the GOP candidate and I don’t even live in that district.

No longer a problem after tonight.
Barrow wins easily.
And in Gainsville, the curse of a Debby Dooley endorsement strikes again!

cc,
Send them at least $100,000.00 under any bogus super-pac you might want to invent.
Then see how much good it does.

Paul Ryan with a black ex-girlfriend? What’s the big deal – so he and queen Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter have something in common.

Barrow supported Obama 85% of the time? I think I’ll go work in his campaign now.

Barrow has finally run out of districts that don’t know him. This time his liberal arse is gone. Go back to Athens and join the occupy protesters on Broad Street.

Is it really true Victor Hill won the sheriff’s position in Clayton county? Or am I still asleep and dreaming? We got what we asked…remember be careful what you wish for..you may actually get it ! But, the man won
Let him serve.
