The returns are in....
.... and its a good day for the Republican Party and the people of Georgia.
First off I want to congratulate all my comrades in the 4th. You've once again tossed off the yoke of insanity and nominated a candidate that might actually represent some of you. Talk show hosts across the land are in mourning.
As for the RLC, two of our three endorsed candidates won last night. Karen Handel beat Bill "that's one hell of a limp" Stephens by 14% of the vote. Karen will make an excellent Secretary of State. RLC endorsee Brian Kemp lost his bid to become Georgia's next Ag. Commissioner. Up in the Canton area, Sean Jerguson beat this opponent by 35 votes.
Nationally, the Republicans did pretty well too. Joe Lieberman's loss to Ted Lamont indicates a shift in the Democrats power structure to the far left. I consider this good news because the farther left the Democrats go, the more incompetent the Republicans can be and still maintain their majority.
Speaking of incompetent Republicans, Joe Schwarz (R-MI) lost his primary re-election bid to Tim Walberg. Walberg was being backed by my favorite 527, the Club for Growth. And in Colarado, another Club for Growth candidate, Doug Lamborn won his primary and will most likely be the next Congressman from the 5th district.

We've exchanged an email or two Chris, and you seem like an alright guy... but this illustrates why I would never leave the Libertarian Party, regardless of the RLC's existence. This sentence makes me want to puke, and represents everything wrong with your party over the past decade.

So there's nothing that makes you want to puke at the Libertarian Party?
Every single thing the LP does is the cat's meow with you?
You are the LP?

Unfortunately the farther left the Dems go the Republicans move closer to the center. The Club for Growth is having a good election cycle.
The LP killed there ligitimate chances with their stance on the war. Kind of reminds me of that perot fella and his party.
