I've giving some money to Haines in the primary against Barrow. I think I'll split the $ and give half in the primary and half in the general to the winner.
Haines was elected to the Georgia Senate and took a stand against the confederate flag. He's more progressive than any successful white southern politician I've run into.
Barrow appears to be straight out of the DLC clubhouse. Yea, he got Max's endorsement, but Max, for all the shit he's gone through, is still conservative. (a Senator from Georgia has to be)
This is a solidly Democratic district. If the last Dem candidate hadn't screwed up, we'd have a DLC man now. This gives us a chance to get a progressive in there and stand up to the DLC.
Also note- Haines got rid of that cartoon, that's worth 5 bucks right there!
