Dannon's Journal: [Elections] - Georgia Primary, Lt. Governors

Now, the candidates to replace Mark Taylor as Lt. Governor:

Casey Cagle , Republican
Flashy web site, other than that, not too much that impresses me.
Ralph Reed , Republican
Ex-chairman of the Christian Coalition, Washington insider, and so on. Controversy follows him around like his shadow.
Greg K. Hecht , Democrat
His basic message seems to be, "I'm qualified, and I can win". He does seem to be big on fighting oil prices by persecuting the oil providers, and that includes anti-price-gouging laws, which are just dumb economics.
Griffin Lotson , Democrat
His web site tells me that he's good at getting his picture taken with other people, and not much else.
Jim Martin , Democrat
His big priority seems to be increasing state spending on medicine. I've said before and I'll say again, what the medical industry needs is to become a more customer-oriented business, with the doctor's customer being the patient, not Medicaid or Medicare or an insurance provider.
Steen "Newslady" Miles , Democrat
Her web site gives the usual list of what she wants to address and why she thinks it's important, but not a glimmer of how. I have yet to find the nitty-gritty.
Rufus O. Terrill , Democrat
Finally, he doesn't seem like a nutcase, and he has actual ideas on his web site. Not all of them are agreeable, but just the fact that he has them is something. I like his ideas on school choice. I don't like his ideas on health care, but then, I don't like anyone's ideas on health care so far.

Not as many entertaining nutcases as the Governor's race.

Update: Apparently Cagle is considered somewhat of an underdog against Ralph Reed, and I do like voting for underdogs. And then there's eglamkowski's analysis of their debate....
