State Senator Seth Harp (R-Midland) for State Insurance Commissioner?

This tip from my main man Travis Fain of the Macon Telegraph & the Blog Lucid Idiocy: A while back, in a campaign email blast, David Poythress intimated that state Sen. Seth Harp, R-Ain't scared, would be running for governor.

I ran into Sen. Harp this morning, and he said that he most definitely is not. But he said is considering a run for state insurance commissioner.

UPDATE: I don't get into too much so-and-so is running for such-and-such here beyond the governor's race, but Blake Aued has reported that state Sen. Ralph Hudgens is running for insurance commissioner.

If it;s true that Harp is considering a run for the post, will Vance Smith (R-Pine Mountain) run for the seat or will Carl von Epps (D-LaGrange). With open seat in 2010, there will be more republicans & democrats leaving seat just to reach the mountain top.

Sunday Sales Bill: Not this year.

This is the second year in a row that legislation to allow the sale of alcohol on sundays have died in the general assembly. This is nothing but politics at play here. It's time to get the issue out the way & to get on & bigger & more pressing matters of the state. State Sen. Seth Harp (R-Midland) decided that he didn't have the numbers & decide to pull the bill & bring it back up for another day according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. There are certain areas of the state where the bill doesn't play well in like in ultra-conservative North Ga where the power of the GOP is based.
