I don't know that David Scott will win the 13th district. I have not seen any polling yet, and as this is a new district, (mine), it is hard to predict. The GOP candidate's name is Cox. He/She ran unopposed in the primary. I hope it will be a competitive district, but methinks the Dem GA Legislature made sure to make it a guaranteed win for one of their own. Like the '92 redistricting that resulted in a 8-3 GOP House delegation, I hope that they miscalculated this time as well.....

Champ Walker orchestrated a drive by Democrats to support Max Burns over Barbara Dooley (the more electable Republican)-- which is the opposite strategy of the GOP in GA-4 (stupid party anyone???) knowing a primary run-off was a better outcome than a general election defeat at the hands of Dooley.

Also from the article, I learned Georgia almost had two crazy black people in their delegation: McKinney and Julian Bond (who compared Republicans to the Taliban).

Interesting but I wish everyone was color blind.

Since Shaw v. Reno in 1993, the Supreme Court has sharply curtailed the drawing of bizarrely shaped majority-black districts.

Right
