Wed 1 Nov 2006
Governor: Sonny Perdue. Most certainly the greatest Republican Governor in the past 100 years. Seriously, he hasn’t achieved all I’d like him to have achieved, but he is better than either alternative.
Lt. Governor: Casey Cagle. I met Casey several times working on his primary campaign and he is an knowledgeable and friendly person. He has strong conservative values (which can be both good and bad) and will live by them while in office. Don’t forget it was Casey who stood up to the current Governor in 2003 when he wanted to raise taxes.
Sec of State: Karen Handel. Her experience in running Fulton county means she has the experience to run the SoS office. She is a strong supporter of voter verified paper trails.
Attorney General: Perry McGuire.
State School Superintendent: This one I’m still undecided on. David Chastian has run a really good campaign for a Libertarian. I like his ideas on making this position an appointed vs elected office. However, Kathy Cox has gotten a lot better than she was back in the days of “Biological Changes over Time”.
Commissioner of Insurance: Oxendine for no other reason than to keep Jason in a job.
Commissioner of Agriculture: Gary Black. No one should be in the same office for 40 years. My math might be wrong by Irvin has been AgCom longer than Moses was wandering the desert.
Commissioner of Labor: Brent Brown. Brent’s plans for putting more VoTech classes in government schools is exactly the kind of proactive approach needed in the 21st Century.
Public Service Commissioners: I like Chuck Eaton. Don’t know much about Stan Wise. Will probably vote for both.
Justices, Supreme Court: Mike Wiggins. I’ve been disappointed with the homophobic nature of his campaign, but I want someone on the bench who isn’t in the pocket of the trial lawyers.
U.S. Representative:John Linder. Three words: FairTax and Earmark reform.
Georgia State Senate: David Shafer. As close to a libertarian as you’ll find in the General Assembly.
Georgia House of Representatives: Brooks Coleman, as I believe he is running unopposed.
