Is Neal Boortz another puppet like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III? The right's message machine does often seem to get their marching orders from on high and like the good authoritarians many are just follow orders. Following the lead of The Wall Street Journal Opinion pages' Kimberley A. Strassel, who in August of 2001 attacked "Ms. Clinton's cock legislation" claiming "rooster fights are perfectly legitimate", alleged libertarian Boortz pounced on Saxby Chambliss for his joining the "Gang of Ten". Boortz whines "the Republicans had a winning issue — that I think y’all just knocked the props out, from right underneath ‘em." Gainesville Georgia's Martha Zoller gets space in Human Events to also pile on Captain Plaid's favorite frat boy. Perhaps Obama's coattails will drag Jim Martin toward success but I'm not so sure Saxby isn't trying to shore up his internals by at least acting like he's reasonable. I can't help but note that while Sugar was partying at UGA Jim Martin was serving in Vietnam. At least Martin, unlike Max Cleland, came back with his legs. John Gunn
UPDATE ~ Evening of August 18, 2008 - Rasmussen reports Georgia Senate: Chambliss Leads Martin by Six which might suggest this race is a whole lot closer than some might have thought. I predict the right wing troops will rally around Big Ag's Boy.
