Jim Powell back on the ballot

Posted by Thomas Wheatley on Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 8:10 PM

Just as soon as I spoke with Jim Powell about the eleventh-hour disqualification he believed was a game of political chess orchestrated by Secretary of State Karen Handel, this comes in via e-mail:

I am still a candidate. A Fulton County Superior court Judge just issued a Stay.

We'll continue to watch. Waiting on a call from Handel's office to see if his votes will indeed be counted. We'll update when we know.

You're beating my pants off today, Thomas. I had already written Powell off as a non-story. I love primary season!

Is it just me or is Karen Handel just acting like a Katherine Harris wannabe? Come on, this kind of thing may have worked in 2000, but we're all a lot smarter and more jaded.

Great news indeed! This definitely sounded fishy when I first heard he was off the ballot. God forbid we have someone qualified serve as a public servant.
