O hai guise! Things will never be the same around here.
Spoke with a top Democratic elected official the other day about the races that currently have gaping holes where Democrats need to be…
Let’s go to the big one… Michael Thurmond is “looking at the Senate last I heard” my source said. So who would replace Thurmond at LC? Darryl Hicks apparently. That would set up the first race between two African Americans for a statewide office in Georgia. Did we have someone running to replace Melvin Everson? A quick Google search finds only Republicans running.
Terry Coleman needs to make up his damn mind. Not a direct quote but the sentiment was there. Lots of Democrats are getting antsy over Coleman’s indecision. Most notably J.B. Powell who will run if Coleman doesn’t. I had heard rumors about Coleman switching parties but apparently that was the first my source had heard of that. Not sure if Powell has a replacement in mind for his seat.
No news about any of the PSC seats but somehow I doubt we’ll contest any of those and if we do, I have more doubts that we’ll have strong challengers.
I know nothing about any candidates for either of our special elections.
The venerable John Lewis also has two challengers, one is an independent, the other a Republican.
We’ve only got three weeks now for moves to be made.
What do YOU know?
EDIT: One thing I forgot to add is I know Tim Golden wanted to run for Lite Gov (although this was back when it was an open seat). Anyone know if he’s changed his mind?
