I apologize in advance for a short diary. I very seldom post diaries here at Kos however I do read daily.
In Georgia we are experiencing an run to the right by our two Republican candidates for Governor Karen Handel and Nathan Deal. They seem to be pulling out the usual social issues... gays and immigration mainly. It has become kind of nasty however we entered the realm of BIZARRE today during a rally for Karen Handel where none other than the former half term governor of Alaska Sarah Palin touted candidacy of the former half term Secretary of State and former half term Fulton County Commission chairwoman Karen Handel.
In an AJC photo gallery - see link below: "Mary DuBose from McDonough borrowed a mannequin from her daughter's wig shop to bring a likeness of Sarah Palin to Palin's speech at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead in support of Karen Handel." HUH? Some people seem to idolize Sarah Palin so much they like to carry around a life size likeness of Ms. Palin. I wonder if she was able to use the HOV on her way to Buckhead this morning??
As a side note Karen and Sarah seem to have a lot in common... neither seems to find it necessary to complete a term in an office to which they were elected and Ms. Handel does not have a college degree and based on Ms. Palin’s most recent eye roll (see link below) at a teacher they seem to place the same value on education.
