Ask around...just how many Republican-identified lawyers actually live within the Atlanta City area. I doubt if you find more than thirty. Most who work in Atlanta....live beyond the city limits. You find the trend going in most southern metropolis ‘zones’.
There are only about 5 of us in Kansas City.
I lived in Forsyth County, north of Atlanta near Lake Lanier, for many years. It’s actually less crazy now than when Bill Campbell and Cynthia McKinney were local pols there.
