Update: It’s official. Little Mike done switched parties.
Remember when switching parties was cool? Mike Jacobs does, and he might be throwing a “look at me, I want to run for higher office” party, according to Political Insider. Hey, Mike, can you say “targeted seat”? I have my yard sign ready, complete with his old nick name.

buffy,
sad thing is, we YDs have known 80 very well for some time. several state officers have lived there for several years, and YD’s are who got mike ‘jerk off’ jacobs in that office in the first place.
as a constituent of the 80th, the one staffer that stuff with mike through the primary and general of that first election, and as political director for ydg… “this chick is TOAST!”
As much as love the idea of running Tim against the munchkin YDG has Tim! District 80 can’t have him just yet! Although I hope Jane is already scouting out someone for that district. I guess it looks like the YD’s are going to get to know 80 just as well as 48.
awwww the liddle baby doesnt want comments…what the hell are you afriad of you scum, voters?
what spineless scum. i scraped some gum off my shoe today, jacobs is around that level (probably lower).
Seems to me that a argument could be made to ignore him and his theatrics for a while and not telegraph any strategy to him or his puppet master Jill.
We should be making plans to run candidates in races because they are good candidates and will serve the population well, not out of revenge.
Not that I’m not about that at times, but I fear that someone with this much desperation for attention (MJ) is only enjoying this.
I would go so far as to say it’s feeding his need to seek approval and whatever other boarderline personality traits he’s dealing with.
If I might make a suggestion for a General Election opponent in 2008; how about Tim Cairl.
Well, it is official, the little troll is switching.

Love this line: “When you ask me a question, even in the most public setting, you get an unvarnished answer. When you send me an e-mail, you receive a direct response from me personally.”
The only problem Mike is that the answer you gave was rarely the truth.
Good riddance.
It’s over. He switched.
Well, this oughta make for some particularly interesting YD campaign efforts to remove the tumor.
Arg. I wish that BfD still had their archives from early ’05 and I wish I had saved an email from Mike Jacobs two years ago.
Turns out I was right – he is a traitor.
That’s what she said.
Why did I laugh at that?
I’m having a confidential press conference.
In my pants.
No matter what the little munchkin decides to do – Dems are screwed.
Here are some of his options:
a. Dan Weber doesn’t run for his Senate seat mainly because he screwed up royally on the Dunwoody cityhood. Lack of leaderhip and no spine.
b. Munchkin man decides to run as a Republican – well he first has to check with his pimp, Jill Chambers, cause there are rumors that Queen MARTA hater wants to move up rank.
c. If his pimp, Jill Chambers, decides to run for Senate, then munchkin man might stay place in his fairy kingdom. Or because his ego is larger than the Georgia Dome he might run as a Democrat for the Senate seat.
Either way, Dems are screwed if Munchkin man stays as a Dem or switches. If he runs for Senate then he will run the race on Dunwoody’s cityhood, which makes it an us versus them. But, in this case the race baiting will far exceed the political partisan attacks.
I wonder if he’ll be distributing blogger press passes at the oh not so secretive press conference.
ive said it before about party switchers and ill say it again.
fuck ’em. they’re trash and deserve to be treated like it.
fuckheads like jacobs who toy around with the ideas are even bigger shits.
all my donations in 08 will go to defeating jacobs if he switches/has a primary opponent.
I think the whole Jacobs experience over the last four years will help to make the progressive community stronger. Don’t just trust or distrust someone because they have a couple of good votes on issues (or a couple of bad ones).
The real character test is their overall theme and guiding principle and with Jacobs it has been an intense desire to do what is best for Mike Jacobs and never for his party.
I have a hard time believing that the Republicans even want him, but I guess they’ll take whatever they can get and Jacobs is probably looking forward to beinging one of the smartest guys in their caucus, which is not a compliment to Mike.
I sure do wish that jac1975 wouldn’t hold back. I so like to hear what he really thinks…
The fact that Peach Pundit had the news and was asked to keep it quiet until tomorrow seems to indicate the he is switching, maybe to run for that Dunwoody senate seat as a Republican. If he does switch though, he becomes my personal #1 target for 2008. I will make it my mission to see that YDs help gut him like a fish if he turns Republican.
Does anyone else think Jacobs has accidentally tipped his hand…Peach Pundit says they were sent the press release but asked not to announce it until tomorrow, meanwhile the Insider, BFD and Tondee’s somehow got their hands on it but it wasn’t from Jacobs.
Just another one of them things that make you go “hmmmm”.
“each of you will approve” You think he sent it to everyone on his mailing list that he identified as a republican?
Isn’t he going to run for Weber’s Senate seat as a (R)?
Peach Pundit also got it, so it went to both Dems and Repubs and everyone should be happy with it? Weirder and weirder. CEO is an interesting guess.
At one point wasn’t he trying to get rid of the DeKalb County CEO position?
The part that seems dumbest to me is that he wanted them to keep it confidential for over a week, since the press conference isn’t until June 27th. Is that the kind of request you make while hoping everyone will break it and give you a big wave of publicity heading into the announcement?
Wait..how does one have a confidential press conference? I guess it will be just him and nobody else!!
Well, someone at Tondee’s got it and their presuming he’ll stay a Dem. Not sure why you’d need a Press Conference for that. Maybe he’s running for Senate or Dekalb CEO?
Yes it is. And I just can’t resist weird.
First prize goes to whoever gets a hold of the BCC list first.
Confidential press press conference announcement? Now, that’s just downright weird.
…b’gawk?
I’m positively giddy with anticipation.
