24 Hours

We need a clock ticking in the corner of the blog (3 days, 48 hours, 24 hours...just six more minutes to vote!)

Anyway, I only make predictions at Oscar and Election time, so here are my predictions, fwiw, (and mainly echoing my fellow authors regarding runoffs):

Mayor: Heidi and Chuck in a runoff (one more month of campaigning, folks).

Commission 9: Girtz and Sheats in a runoff (too bad, because I liked Ed Vaughn).

House District 115: Culpepper and McKillip in a runoff (the "endorsement scandal" is a non-starter).

Board of Education: John Knight. Why? Because he named his son "Noble". Seriously.

Upset predictions:

GA Senate Seat 46
: Jane Kidd.

Lite Guv: Jim Martin.

Guv: One more month of the big guys. Perdue and Taylor in a runoff. I think Hayes siphons off enough votes to throw the gubers into a runoff.

That's it...to echo Publius, go vote, bitchez.

Hope your prediction in 115 is wrong! McKillip doesn't deserve to go any further than Oconee County where he moved his business to, owns property, lived until qualifying, and where he sends his children to private school. The endorsement issue may be a non-starter. The rest, however, I think would interest most voters if they were aware of it.

I wish I felt sorrier for Taylor.

I just got back from voting at Barnett Shoals Elementary School, in the 47th Senate District. The driveway of the school was lined with Cowsert signs...

That's ~two~ strikes against Cowsert supporters.

I voted. There was only one campaign worker out there - I was disappointed! (It was a Girtz person)

I don't think so. Some form of ID is still required to vote. We're just haggling over what type of ID is appropriate.

Mmm... they kind of imply that the specific IDs required by the Voter ID law are the ones in question. They don't lie exactly. They just point you in the wrong direction.

I voted with a utility bill for ID, just because I could. The poll workers were entertained...

Who, dear, is "they" in your world of conspiracy? I'm just curious because those signs are correct. Gimme a break folks. You know the rules. Don't spread untruths and propoganda because you can.

"They" isn't a who. It refers to the signs. Parse before commenting.

Actually, no form of identification is required; you just have to sign an affidavit swearing that you are you. And Todd-- my son's middle name is "Jedi." (Jedediah really, but it does shorten to Jedi. Yes, I'm saving up for psychiatrists.)
