Obama - Coattails in Ga. Primary


It seems that Obama's coattails were working in the Georgia Primary today. Obama endorsed John Barrow who while many felt may be a bit vulnerable is crushing his opponent. Hopefully this will make Barrow work harder for the ticket in the fall as well as represent his district better.

Also, Vernon Jones, a controversial African American Dekalb County CEO, appears headed for a runoff with Jim Martin. Many predicted that Jones may not make the runoff. Apparently his controversial cropped photo with Obama may have helped. Obama's camp was not particularly happy about the photo.

I think tonights results certainly show Obama's strengths.
Not sure what will happen in a runoff between Jones and Martin, but do not count Jones out. Either are a long shot against Saxby Chambless in the fall.
