Roy Barnes To Endorse Kasim Reed

As suggested by Peach Pundit commenter “fishtail” here, Roy Barnes will endorse Kasim Reed for Mayor of Atlanta at a press conference tomorrow at 2:00 pm. I’m sure this has nothing to do with an upcoming Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The gloves are off in GA Gubernatorial race, Oxendine attacks Barnes 2002-style

Norwood, Reed, and Runoffs

... she still has the advantage going in to the runoff election. It is not, however, a done deal. With Roy Barnes and Lisa Borders’ endorsements of Kasim Reed, I think momentum is with him, though I also don’t think endorsements will help a lot. He also does quite well at turning out the vote.
