News Handel whacked by InsiderAdvantage
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Are we dreaming? The political newsletter/polling firm InsiderAdvantage has posted an editorial that suggests … well, I'll let you guess that from the headline: "Is Karen Handel Georgia's Version of Katherine Harris?"
The post begins by hinting that the GOP secretary of state – and presumed 2010 gubernatorial candidate – is damaging her reputation with decisions that seem based on partisan politics. But then it takes a detour, arguing that Handel's recent decision not to expand early voting hours will hurt Republicans:
Note to Karen: GOP voters vote before work – impossible given the current lines - or after work - sorry, parking lot full; skip the vote. As it stands, her unwillingness to extend voting hours will guarantee big problems for McCain and Chambliss.
The message seems a bit muddled, but this much is clear: We're not the only ones who seem concerned that Handel has improperly politicized her office, an issue I wrote about last week.
I called over to see who wrote the editorial – it was unsigned – but haven't found out yet.
