Nope he said relier in the day he would support the winner. I am glad he was defeated. I am so tired of the US Chamber of Crony Capitalism and their lies and distortions. They backed Kingston and ran scurrilous ads throughout this campaign. The truth is Kingston has been in DC too long. He was part of the ear mark problem that had spending going wild under Bush. He is as slimy as they come and he is nothing more than a career politician. Twenty two years is about twenty too many in my view.
I live in Aiken County, SC which is just across the Savannah River from Augusta, GA, so my view does not count.
However I am glad Perdue won. Now, assuming he wins in Nov which will not be easy, if he will just keep all the promises he made in his radio ads when he gets to DC. And not become another slimy GOPe traitor.
I didn’t realize until this morning that Kingston was endorsed by the Chamber of Cheap Foreign Labor. Kingston is a true conservative and is an amnesty opponent (the CofC endorsed him for other reasons apparently) as is Perdue.
Kingston must not have realized that a Chamber of Commerce endorsement is anathema to knowledgeable constitutional conservatives. Their endorsement (and Perdue’s smart exploitation of that endorsement) likely drove many thousands away from Kingston and to Perdue.
The Chamber’s endorsement is becoming the kiss of death to candidates — something to be avoided at all costs.
