As one election ends, another begins
Are you ready to start thinking about 2010?:
Months before President-elect Barack Obama gave his victory speech Tuesday night, Georgia politicians already were jockeying for their next big electoral thing: governor, 2010.I'll start to gather information on potential 2010 candidates and have it updated over the course of the next 18 months. It sounds like a long time, but it'll go fast.Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine has already raised about $750,000 in hopes of winning the Republican nomination for governor in 2010. Retired Georgia Adjutant General David Poythress, a Democrat, formally announced for the race over the summer. Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, another Republican hopeful, began running TV ads in August promoting his Web site devoted to cutting government waste.

In addition to Oxendine and Cagle, other Republicans mentioned as possible candidates are Secretary of State Karen Handel, House Majority Leader Jerry Keen (R-St. Simons Island), Cobb County Commission Chairman Sam Olens and congressmen Lynn Westmoreland and Jack Kingston.On the Democratic side, Poythress and Thurmond are joined by House Minority Leader DuBose Porter (D-Dublin).
