— The polls show we may actually have a race on our hands for Georgia's Senate seat. There was a debate last night down in Perry and DriftGrift was on the scene. His account is more poetic than reportage, but the headline — Clouds and Clods — gives you a hint.
— Some conservatives get it, argues ATLmalcontent. But others do little more than mouth the agenda offered by the Sean Hannity's of the world. And why is Johnny Mac following the lead of pundits who, just a few months ago, were leading the charge against his nomination? Has J-Mac sold his soul?
— And the conservatives who do get it? Jason Pye contends they are turning away from the dynamic duo. Federal bail-outs equate to socialism and, Pye says, that puts Johnny Mac to the left of his opponent.
— At Politits, Dcup talks back to the mainstream media after she heard a CNBC anchor say that people aren't shopping these days because they're scared of the economy. Well, not quite, Dcup answers. They're not shopping as much because they don't have money. She's also worried about the anger that Johnny Mac and Caribou Barbie are whipping up on the campaign trail.
— And Amy at Georgia Women Vote smells a Republican conspiracy. Why else would Karen Handel send 2 million names to the social security adminstration to check their identity? Funny how the states who also sent in huge lists of names happen to be ... wow, what a coincidence ... swing states. Ah for the good ol' days when the voter rolls allowed you to vote from the grave.
— And, finally, on the personal political front — men and women, that is — Amber Rhea has some tips for the male species on showing a little respect.
