Yesterday news agencies around Georgia (but not the paper of record, the AJC! Why would they report on it?) reported that the state archives will be closed to the public effective November 1st.

We've all been discussing if Georgia will go blue. I think it will, and I wanted to take Georgia’s voting temperature another way besides the polls we obsess over. I decided to follow the money. And because we’ve already established in countless other postings that to win Georgia it's going to take more than Atlanta proper and Dekalb county, I decided to focus on that bastion of New South, New GOP suburbia- Cobb County. Peter Applebome discussed Cobb County in his interesting book of the New South and the rise of the right, Dixie Rising. It was Cobb County that gifted Newt Gingrich to the world. It was Cobb County where segregationist Governor Lester Maddox lived out his days. Cobb is the belt buckle of the Solid Republican South. So what does the money tell us about Cobb?

Some time ago, I received an email from Jim Martin’s campaign asking for people to attend the first debate between Martin, Saxby “Voldemort” Chambliss, and Libertarian candidate Allen Buckley, which was scheduled to take place in Perry at the Georgia State Fair. I was thrilled to email back my acceptance. Chambliss’s 2002 campaign was disgusting beyond words. I still get angry when I think of the ad that morphed Max Cleland’s (war hero, public servant, THREE TIME AMPUTEE BECAUSE OF INJURIES SUSTAINED IN VIETNAM) face into that of Osama Bin Laden. I would support ANY Democratic challenger against Chambliss. However, Martin is a marvelous candidate, as a previous Dailykos diary has already pointed out. I can’t believe that I get to vote for a senatorial candidate like Martin while still residing in Georgia! And that he has a chance to take down Chambliss.
