Baby Face Reed is planning a comeback

ralphreed.jpgCan we say “YEEAAAAHHH”?? Teh freaking awesome Georgia Republican Party – your leader is returning to save ya’ll – woot!woot!!

According to The Hill:

Ralph Reed (R) is “seriously” contemplating a run for the House seat being vacated by Rep. John Linder (R-Ga.), according to CBN’s David Brody. Reed has made his interest known to key grassroots leaders and local elected officials around the district, but has not yet made a decision.

Reed was the first executive director of Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition and later ran for lieutenant governor of Georgia. His political downfall came from his close ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Yeah baby, Ralph Reed might make a comeback. Ralph Reed, Nathan Deal, and The Ox – the royale battle of political egos. As the other GOP political ego maniac says “Bring It On”!!

    As of just now, reports are he’s NOT running… slim proof of a higher power- I dunno but this Georgian is grateful at any rate.

    The good news is, a lot of Dems would look forward to claiming this normally Republican seat.

    The bad news is a LOT of Dems would try to claim the normally Republican seat.

    It’s not presents!

    Remember these guys recover very quickly.

    The Ralph Reed / Cagle matchup was over and done and won while the Dems were still making Unity buttons….sigh….

    The political gods just keep giving us presents. First Glenn Richardson, and then the OX as the Republican nominee for Gov. Now, Ralph Reed on the ballot!!! Let’s watch the money fall from the skies. Thank you Political Gods, thank you.

    so we’re back to 2006 with the chamber of commerce against the georgia right to life crew… so special.

    I thought it was bad when the anti woman homophobe Smoltz was thinking of running.

    Glad I’m leaving.

    I wish I could be as sanguine Bernita. But never fear, the crazy always gets crazier in Ga. Now is this a good thing for the GaGop? Only if they spend & waste all their money on it. It’s very hard to game actually. So that’s almost a smile, even if it looks more like a grimace. It’s my Ga. face.
