The Rural Democrat

Alright, I have been gone for a while. It won't be long before fall arrives & I want to talk about other races that are still up in the air. For Secretary of State we have a new comer Michael Mills, who worked for Lt. Governor Mark Taylor, Gary Horlacher, who was Roy Barnes press secretary, Gail Buckner, who ran for SOS back in 2006, & possibly Darryl Hicks as well.   

No one has steeped up to run for Lt. Governor. Forget about Michael Thurnond running for that post. He has his eyes on the governor's seat in 2014, or the U.S. Senate. This guy Carl Camon in my opinion should be persuaded to run for Lt. Governor. He has trave;ed all over the state, mainly in rural georgia.  If not him, then Former State Senator Michael Meyer von Bremen should be considered, or my guy Floyd Griffin, Jr of Milledgeville, who  ran for Lt. Governor back in 1998 & was a former state senator. No one has yet steeped up to run for the U.S. Senate against Johnny Isakson, who people say is popular hiere in Georgia. Still he needs to be challenged for following in lock step with the party of "NO". Thurbert Baker should look at this spot. He maybe the next U.S. Attorney for the North Georgia district. Bit someone will come forward to challenge Isakson, you can bet on that. Still waiting on Terry Coleman to make his announcement that he will seek the Agriculture Commissioner post vacated by Tommy Irvin, who is retiring. He is the only democrat mentioned for the post.  I keep hearing about Rand Knight as a possible candidate. Stay Tuned for that one. My question is: how will this all look by the end of the year? Will anymore democrats step forward to run statewide?
