ATLANTA Sarah Palin handed Georgia gubernatorial hopeful Karen Handel her conservative seal of approval on Monday in a tight Republican runoff, saying Handel would "fight like a mama grizzly" and help usher out the state's "good ol' boy network."

Eisenhower was president, but the rats controlled the House and Senate for most of the 50’s. So really, the rats had the run of the place. I would imagine that the more progressive elements still hadn’t taken as much control as now. However, I’m sure Reagan saw the writing on the wall and switched. Did Deal do the same when he jumped ship in 95, or was it for his own benefit?
From what I’ve read elsewhere, Deal is not to the right of Handel on many issues.
Hey, I’m Millie, Too...doubt i’m the one that pissant is referring to, though....
I love the Mama Grizzley
So was Ronald Reagan back in the day.
Yes he was. But then again he was running against rinos, unlike Deal.
I can’t believe you posted this!!!!! I have been on the phone throughout the day with my clients, they are having fits over this run-off! BTW, I don’t work in any politcal capacity however the majority of my clients are outside of the metro area throughout the state.
Sarah Palin OBVIOUSLY did not do her homework on this endorsement which leaves me to wonder if she chose her just because she is a woman.
Pissant changed his/her name to PDSissant.
Says at the link that Handel has never completed a full term in office.
Geesh
Nathan Deal:
Endorsements:
NRA
Georgia Right to Life
National Right to Life
Numbers USA
Voted AGAINST TARP, Auto Bailouts and ObamaCare
“A” Rating National Tax Payers Union
Why don’t you read up on Nathan Deal before you make such an assummption?

Karen Handel:
Lied about giving money to the Log Cabin Conservatives
Voted to give GA money to Planned Parenthood
She has done nothing but run for office but has never completed a term.
In her smear campaign routed Georgians to a site supported by George Soros to insinuate Nathan Deal was corrupt. George Soros?????
She may have the backing of the metro moderate crowd but not outside of 285.
She is a train wreck!!! She backed out of a debate because she didn’t LIKE some of the people in it. She has accused EVERYONE of corruption. She’s got nothing but Sarah Palin.
Mama Grizzly, indeed!
Now I know why some Ga FReepers were so upset.
The debate she DID do, I honestly thought she was going to lose it...
I found out the other day that all this time she has been hollering about everyone else - she herself has an ethics charge against her for mishandling campaign funds.
Looks like the good old boy network is being replaced by the good old girl network.
The grissly mamas
I’m sorry but Sarah Palin didn’t do her due diligence and now we can be screwed because there are so many that follow her blindly.
You are right, my bad. Thank you for setting the record straight :)
I totally agree with you. I was being sarcastic.:)
ROTFL, pissant.
I wrote Gov. Palin at her PAC as well as Facebook and asked her to please go back and look at all of the facts that have come out about Handel and reconsider.
None of it makes sense, Handel is not the most conservative, nor does she have the best chance to beat the democrat. She has the worst chance, IMO. Sheesh, even the liberals are cheering for Handel to win.
This was back when we had 7 conservatives running. I never heard back, but I see she’s still stumping so I guess she just doesn’t care. All I can figure is she think’s she’s guaranteeing a supporter in 2012. That doesn’t make sense either because I believe Johnson and Chapman because they are more grassroots/teaparty types (and maybe even Deal) would have supported Palin.
I don’t understand it AT ALL.
