Hate them folks who have to slow down to check out an accident scene. Morbid fascination with human suffering. Disgusting.
So, in the McKinney-Majette primary battle, the Atlanta Journal Constitution has the following quotes from the locals:
Bill Dillon, 67, of Chamblee, who described himself as a "50-year Republican," voted in the Democratic primary because of the race. "If I could vote a thousand times against [McKinney] I would," he said. "I don't dislike her, she's probably a very nice person, but I hate her politics. I'm willing to do everything in my power to keep her from being elected."Eileen Lichtenfeld, 47, of Dunwoody, said she'd voted for McKinney in the past, but switched this year. "Majette seems very qualified and much more mainstream," she said. "Over the past couple of years, McKinney's taken some extreme positions. I happen to be Jewish, so her endorsement by Louis Farrakhan doesn't help."
Ooo! Ooo! Can I use that logic, too? So any Republican endorsed by Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond, who spoke at Bob Jones University, who has any affiliation with the Council of Conservative Citizens, who. . . sorry, forgot me head for a minute there. Of course I can't use that logic. It would be divisive and race-baiting.
The first guy, there's not much to say, except it's a good thing this ain't a Cook County election. . .
Update: AJC lists/updates Congressional primary results, if you just can't get enough. Currently, Majette leads 53% to 47%, but that's with one of 174 precincts reporting.
