Our first endorsed candidate of 2008 , State Senator ReginaThomas (GA-12), gave incumbent Bush Democrat John Barrow a very good scare in Tuesday's primary. Despite being outspent 40:1 , Thomas won 24% of the vote . Here's the Examiner : The eastern Georgia district leans Democratic with its heavily black portions of Savannah and Augusta, but it also has a large number of conservative...
Apparently the endorsement worked. The real difference, though, was most likely the extremely low voter turnout, much lighter than any one expected, especially in the city (Savannah). That had to help Barrow and hurt Thomas. It was a bad night....
I know. What do you care what happens in Georgia? Well, you should if only because you ought to know just who Barack Obama is trying to sabotage politically in order to pay off a campaign debt. ReginaThomas is...
Our first endorsed candidate of 2008, State Senator ReginaThomas (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...
ReginaThomas didn't win her long-shot race against Congress' most Bush-supporting Democrat. Nor was it close. As I write this, the Georgia Secretary of State's site shows Regina with 24% and Barrow with 76%-- exactly what Blue America's pollster predicted last month. (I'm awed-- even shocked-- by the accuracy of the poll.) So if we knew Regina has virtually no chance to...
John Barrow and Jim Marshall both cruised to victory over their Democratic primary opponent, state Sen. ReginaThomas and Robert Nowak. Thomas and Nowak campaigned on a "real" Democrat platform accusing the two Congressmen of voting too much with the Republicans in Washington. In the end, Marshall and Barrow beat back their liberal opponents with margins of victory averaging in...
ReginaThomas: A voice For The Voiceless Three Democrats who tend to take a great deal of money from corporations and then reward those corporations with their votes, even though those votes often harm the constituents they supposedly work for, are facing more progressive Democratic challengers in the primary. David Scott represents the 13th CD, south and west of Atlanta, from Smyrna...
From today’s Savannah Morning News: A liberal group is buying ads for U.S. Rep. John Barrow’s foe for the Democratic nomination in the 12th Congressional District. The Blue America Political Action Committee says it has bought space to promote state Sen. ReginaThomas of Savannah. The messages were due to begin running today in [...]
Today the first of Blue America's ads rolls out in Georgia's 12th congressional district where the Democrat who votes most frequently with George Bush on substantive matters, slippery Athens Blue Dog John Barrow, faces state Senator ReginaThomas. The two couldn't be more different. Barrow gobbles up special interests money and votes for... special interests. (Example-- he's once of the...
Standing up for principle, standing up for America This morning I spoke to a reporter for the Savannah Morning News , the biggest newspaper in John Barrow's district. He mentioned to me, and he seemed surprised, that ReginaThomas has been making warrantless wiretaps an issue in a race where Regina's own best issues, employment and high gas prices have been front and center. But...
GA-12 : ReginaThomas (D): $42K raised; $25K CoH (est.) Thomas still hasn't filed her pre-primary financial report with the FEC (which was due on the 3rd), so these estimates came straight from the candidate. Considering that Thomas' $42K figure tracks very closely to her current total on Actblue, it's very clear that blogs like Democrats.com and the Blue America crew are...
Our first endorsed candidate of 2008 , State Senator ReginaThomas (GA-12), is just one week away from her primary against BushDemocrat John Barrow, so I called for an update. Thomas was overjoyed to receive a check from Actblue worth $28,387. Most of that money - nearly $25,000 - came from you via our "Replace Bush Democrats" page: http://www.actblue.com/page/bushdemocrats The...
