So, should we all go vote for Nathan Deal in the runoff?

He'd obviously be the weaker candidate in the general election.

1. As I understand it, you can't vote in the runoff

if you didn't vote in the Rethug primary. At least it used to be that way.

2. If you didn't vote in the primary you can still vote in the runoff

As it turns out I couldn't get in to vote before the polls closed for the primary, so I can still go vote in the repuke runoff. Otherwise you can only vote in whichever party primary you voted in.

3. I can't vote for him I'm a registered democrat.

4. Um, Geoegia doesn't have party registration

Our primaries are open primaries.

5. We might want to assume he/she meant "on the voting rolls as having voted Dem"

as equaling "registered Democratic."

If we're charitable.

7. But the run-off isn't open, is it?

I assumed that if you voted Democratic in the primary you could only vote Democratic in the run-off.

At least, I think that's the case.

6. I voted in the Democratic Primary.

As a result, I can't vote for a Republican in the run-off.

I will say, though, that I happily voted for Georganna Sinkfield earlier today. She was endorsed by Jim Martin, Shirley Franklin, and Hank Johnson. That's all I needed to know.

8. Deal us up by a bit over 2000 votes at 7:30 AM

The newspapers are still saying it's too close to call, but Deal is up. I can well imagine they'll have a recount, and hopefully they'll keep slinging mud at each other through that process.

Nw we need to work out a$$e$ off and make sure that we elect a Democratic govorner come November.
