DuBose has never been ...You do not know your facts. DuBose has never been a part of the good ole boy network. He ran against Tom Murphy for Speaker of the House and exposed a slush fund Murphy and others used for their special projects. I would hardly call this being a part of the good ole boy network. Porter also never voted for Glenn Richardson as Speaker. Richardson was elected by acclimation of the House after the House Democratic Caucus decided not to run a candidate because they did not have the votes to win. <br /><br />As far as Poythress, he was a no show while DuBose was working hard to rebuid the Democratic Party after it lost the House in 2005. Poythress only got back into politics because it was convenient for him and he can't make it as a banker. <br /><br />DuBose Porter is the only candidate that can unite rural and urban Georgia and get our economy moving again. <br /><br />Demorats can win with DuBose, they can't with Poythress or any other candidate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084429012972393947.post-67525916936058631182009-12-09T16:17:35.454-05:002009-12-09T16:17:35.454-05:00I agree mostly with what you said except for one e...I agree mostly with what you said except for one exception. The only candidate that meets your criteria of "new blood" and "fresh ideas" is David Poythress. Dubose Porter has been part of the legislature and good ole boy network since way back when he had hair. Now we know Speaker Richardson's transgressions were known by EVERYONE under the Dome. Yet, Porter supported and voted for him for speaker. Does that sound like anything would change if he were elected?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
