Yesterday morning the GOP Ticket kicked off their Moving Georgia Forward tour at the historic court house in Lawrenceville. I was up and out there at 6am and 32deg to help setup. They (wisely I suspect) didn’t mention the event would be outdoors. I’m glad I decided to dress warmly.

The whole ticket was there (excluding Kathy Cox and Stan Wise). Emory Morsberger, the brains behind the Brain Train, bought breakfast for about 500 people so he got to welcome the crowd. Morsberger got to introduce, Congressman John Linder who introduced Senator Johnny Isakson, who introduced Casey Cagle who introduced Governor Perdue. All of that happened in about 15 minutes, as they all had to load up on the bus to head over to Cumming for the event there.

I had need to be in McDonough so I stopped by the rally down there. Got to meet several of my co-contributors on Jason’s blog. ob shout outs to: Larry, Green Death, Sen. Douglas and Rep Davis. The McDonough event was much warmer but with a slightly smaller crowd.

I finally got a chance to see some of the political ads on TV. Four out of ads during the 11 o’clock news were campaign ads. Tommy Irvin’s attack ad on Gary Black looks like it was made by a bored 40 year old secretary using the cheap clip-art that came with MS-Word. The two crooks sitting in the car worried about Wiggins getting elected was pretty cheesy too.

Interestingly, all of Sonny’s ads (that I saw) were positive. Taylor’s were all negative. American Politic described Sonny’s ads as having “the feel of a Levitra commercial with soft lighting in a kitchen, Sonny’s wife gazing out a window and Sonny’s voice reassuring us everything will be ok.” I think the ad with Mary Perdue was probably the strongest.

Next two days are going to be pretty busy. I’ve got a job interview, AUUG meeting, sign Ninja duties tomorrow and I’ll be live blogging at Sonny’s victory party at the Buckhead Westin. Come on down.
