1. I am not quite as sold...

First of all. The only time I ever ran out of gas was outside of Dublin. I had to walk 5 miles in the summer heat to Dublin. :)

To be serious for a moment. From reading it, he sounds like a Joe Liberman democrat. Fiscally conservative?? I don't like that. Frankly, Dubya is supposed to be fiscally conservative, yet he spends at a frightening rate. Also, I don't know what socially responsible means either. He claims to have grown up in a strict enviroment. That combined, what does that tell us??? Also he claims to be pro business. It seems to me we have enough pro-business people in the capital already. He is a corporate attorney does that mean he will support business interests over the interests of the people?? I don't know. I am just giving you my 2 cents after reading his web page. He talks about election reform. Does that mean a paper trail?? I wish he would say so. Sorry, I didn't want to bring you down, but I am just not impressed at this point.

Kevin.

2. well i consider myself a fiscal conservative...

if that means keeping deficits low, and cutting back on spending you can't pay for.

so perhaps my opinion is jaded - election reform in the form of paper trails would get me very excited. especially considering the position he's running for.


but to be honest - i'm jsut thrilled that he's an Indian kid that grew up in the US like me so far - and is a democrat, when most of my people are republicans. I do think he needs to flesh out his site more tho, so we know where he actually stands on things. but hopefully in due time - it's still early yet.

3. "I know what hard work is"

ok, steeerike one...

Seriously, his campaign's something to watch. Prolly just another GA corporate whore, but it wouldn't be the first time I held my nose and voted.

4. I like him.

Yes he is more conservative than I would like, but he has to win statewide. Who is going to convince all those people in Baxley and St. Mary's and Tifton to vote progressive? Are we going to leave it to the candidates to just show up every couple of years for a few months and hope to change peoples minds?

Until the progressive grassroots gets out there and talks to people FULL TIME about our message, we are mostly stuck with these kinds of candidates.

If we want progressive candidates, we have to build a progressive constituency. WE. You and me.
