I agree that a recount should be avoided and if Handel truly lost, well that’s the breaks. However, without all the votes having been counted, I say “it ain’t over until it’s over”. ( well, alot of people have said that regarding alot of different situations, but I digress…)

On the other hand, I don’t know what the “number” possibility is for Handel regarding the overseas/military ballots. I will say this though; I feel very strongly that each and every vote should be counted before the race is called. If for no other reason than that, there are alot of us political newcomers who just can’t conceive that all votes wouldn’t be counted.

I could be wrong(gee imagine that) but it is my understanding that not all absentee ballots have been counted. This miffs me because my Mother voted absentee and I hate to think her vote didn’t count. I’m sure there are a lot of other absentee voters/absentee voter relatives, who feel the same.

With the vote being an approximate 2400 vote difference between the candidates, I’m really disheartened that a poster, whom I have been reading and agreeing with for quite sometime(Just because I have only been signed up on Redstate for a shor t time doesn’t mean I haven’t been watching) would suggest that Handel needs to concede.

I really didn’t think i would have to “pinch my nose” for my vote for the next Govenor for GA, and I realize that a lot of the blame can be laid at Handel’s own feet, but at the same time “It ain’t over till it’s over” and I guess that, under certain situations I am willing to believe in rainbows and Unicorns until it’s really over.

With all due respect Gamecock. You are breaking my heart.

I’ll say it again- “Gamecock, your breaking my heart”

Again, I don’t know the numbers and statistics and yaddah yadday yaddah that allow the experts to know who is going to win even before all votes have been counted.

I can assume you have an insite/inside connection to tell you this, or are you just trying to get the word out that if Handel loses we need to get the word out that we need Deal over Barnes because redisricting is coming up>

Again, Not trying to slam you Gamecock. I really do think I love you.
WYHMB(will you have my baby),

As far as Handel is concered, I didn’t see any negative ads that weren’t true and not half truths like some of the slams I saw from Deals’ campaigne et. al. back at Handel.

that said, I would have liked her to tell us more about how she is going to accomplish her goals and just fend off negative attacks rather than attack .

How could Handel overcome the negative ads against her if she in turn was slamming the otherside. Now, more than likely, we are going to have to vote for a candidate who is less than squeaky clean record than a canditate who, at this point, has no dirty record, but is a mudslinger.

Can it be as easy as that?

Monday evening, my brother literally came running into the house and told me that Handel couldn’t be the Republican Canditate for Govenor because…..(I don’t even know what he was trying to tell me what Karen had done, something about cocaine) . The point being, in my opinion, if I knew more about Handel’s plan, I could have more persuasively addressed my brother’s concerns at the last minute-the night before the election.

He doesn’t read redstate(trying to finish the Bible the 1st time through, which is more ambitious than myself because I haven,t tried to read it through, But, he has some buzz words/names that appeal to him such as Huckabee(the guy is a christian) and Gingrich(the guy is a has been) . It’s hard to fight that.

Moving on from there, In Georgia, it looks like the good ol’ boy system is alive and well in the NOT metro area. I can only imagine what type of ads Deal was playing outside of Metro Atlanta area, but I;m sure they weren’t pretty.

Also, I have no idea what type of ads Karen was playing in those same outlying areas, but even though I thought Karen should have taken higher ground from what I saw, I know Deals attacks were more vicious and I can only imagine what they were further on our from Atlanta.

Can anybody tell me?

Word Up.

I believe,(because I like rainbows and unicorns) that Handel listened to those that would tell her how to fight as opposed to those who would tell her how to “WIN”.

Most campaign people apparently don’t understand the signals coming from the bible reading gun clinging fly over folks.( for anyone that’s interested, I don’t recognize myself in there but I think I have been categorized as such.by the same intelligensje-fine by me)

I feel that very few of these “professional” have a grip on what is happening in America, therefore they are leading their candidates in the wrong direction.

I feel Karen Handel was an honest well meaning candidate who listened to the wrong advice when it came to running a campaign. She did negative campaigning, but it wasn’t beyond the truth so I think some of her integrity stood up but, negative is negative.

If she had to de3fend herself, so be it. Otherwie she should have stayed with the issues and how she was going to do it.

I really feel,(unicorns and rainbows) if the era of telling it like it is ever going to ocurr, it is occurring right now. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS- AND STICK WITH THEM!!!

IMHO

I have been following the race from afar since stupak schtuped. I really hope Dr Dan Pulls Through.

This is one of the recent happenings that have “almost” put me over the edge to do more than just vote or open my mouth about a local candidate.

If Benisheck wins this, I am going to make calls and send money to him

I voted for Handel, sent her a few bucks(couldn’t afford) talked a couple of people into voting for her, but nothing else. I meant to put a yard sign out-too busy;(. But Like everthing in America-New Beginning. Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life(which commercial did that phrase come from?) Now, I’m going to have to have a Deal sign in my yard. That’ll teach me.

On the other Hand(le) A Deal is better than no Deal
