Turns out that the National Rifle Association didn’t just endorse U.S. Rep. John Barrow. The gun group is also backing that other embattled white Democrat, Jim Marshall of Macon. Marshall’s office just shipped us the letter. John Stone, who’s running...

BIPAC buys a stake in the Democratic Party Last July when Blue America was trying to help Georgia state Senator Regina Thomas challenge right-wing Democrat John Barrow in the primary, we found ourselves being undercut from the left. The main culprit, who did the most damage to Regina's chances was Obama, who, for his own electoral strategies, endorsed a congressman who will vote against Obama's agenda...

Our first endorsed candidate of 2008, State Senator Regina Thomas (GA-12), gave incumbent Bush Democrat John Barrow a very good scare in July's primary. Despite being outspent 40:1, Thomas won 24% of the vote . Better yet, Thomas promised to primary Barrow next time, which might scare him into voting with Democrats instead of Republicans. You contributed over $25,000 to Thomas , and that money was...

Republican challengers Rick Goddard and John Stone are giving John Barrow and Jim Marshall heck over offshore drilling. Barrow and Marshall claim they support drilling, but with “strict environmental controls.” Isn’t it “strict environmental controls” that have kept us from drilling thusfar?

In researching Andre’s last post I noticed that neither John Barrow nor John Lewis had the guts to stand up to the President and vote to override his veto of the Medicare Bill. Sure you might argue that they have contested primaries that day. But that just proves that they value their kushy jobs as [...]

John Stone has picked up the GOP nomination in District 12 from Georgia. As noted earlier Stone was the most viable candidate. I still doubt he can unseat incumbent John Barrow. Time will tell. State and National GOP support is soft at best. Also of note Senator Chambliss will have to wait a little while longer [...]

All of the primaried GA incumbents came out of their races unscathed tonight, despite the fact that some of the races had a few twists and turns. The White House race has played a big role in two primaries involving Dem Reps. John Lewis (D-05) and John Barrow (D-12). Lewis faced minister Markel Hutchins (D) and state Rep. Mable Thomas (D), and defeated them handily. Hutchins and Thomas’ bids were...
