I am moderate Democrat and understand that Blue Dogs are moderate to conservative on some level. However, the latest campaign ad from Rep. Jim Marshall might have crossed the line. The ad slams Speaker Pelosi more than she could possible deserve. The same Mrs. Pelosi who engineer the Democrat takeover of the House and helped [...]

Election Night: Worst-Case Scenarios
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, austin scott, Blacks, blue dogs, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, Jim Marshall, Michelle Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on September 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I was in a discussion this weekend about the worst-case scenarios for election night in November; the situations and outcomes that should have been debated and considered now. Lately, the GOP in Georgia has been taking heat in my community because African American (AA) candidates Dr. Deborah Honeycutt and Melvin Everson couldn’t make it out [...]
Sacrifice: From Rangel to Chelsea’s Mother in Law

You should take one for the team. That’s what a baseball player (like on the Bad News Bears) does when letting a pitch hit him. In the 90s, Chelsea Clinton’s new mother-in-law did just that to help pass Bill Clinton’s budget plan by one vote. As a congressional freshman, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky knew the plan was good [...]
Obama or Bill Clinton On The Georgia Campaign Trail

In the Fall, Georgia should have a campaign visit from one or more of the Democrat Big Three: President Obama, President Bill Clinton or First Lady Michelle Obama. Where is my ticket or can I get the hook-up. The logical facility for this historic event would be the Macon Coliseum because Georgia is the biggest [...]
Michael Steele: The Battles of “Scottland” and Black Watch
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Georgia, Honeycutt, Jim Marshall, Michael Steele, Obama on June 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When Michael Steele sought the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, he produced a glossy “Blueprint” outline for moving his party forward in a productive and positive manner. As a Black moderate, I was hopeful that the brother would do for their team what Obama would be doing for our team. Then, the anger started [...]
Democrats Flexing Muscles

Some voters are very informed this year and that is a good thing. With the economy, foreign wars and the oil disaster, regular folks and the media are watching the White House and Congress. The GOP has a well-earned reputation for keeping their members in line on key issues but the Democrats are starting to [...]
Ghosts In The Georgia Political Machine

Election season can be awkward because the process doesn’t always allow the flexibility for voters to express themselves. We have primaries, party slates and candidates who make assumptions from their election results. I voted in the Republican primary six years ago because I wanted to support innovative Senate candidate Herman Cain but I skipped most [...]
Blue Dog Democrat Rep. Jim Marshall: A Political version of Teena Marie
Posted in African Americans, Georgia, politics, tagged blue dogs, Georgia, Jim Marshall, Obama, politics, town hall on August 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Georgia Rep. Jim Marshall held a town hall meeting yesterday and solidified his place as as a front-runner for governor next year. Oh yeah, Marshall is not running for governor but his ability to please moderates and conservatives was exceptional. The only folks who might not like Marshall’s message are liberals, national Democrats and Obama [...]
The Libertarian Affect
Posted in Conservative, politics, tagged blue dogs, democrats, Jim Marshall, Libertarian, republicans on June 15, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Incumbents general cruise to victory in Georgia congressional politics but recently Libertarian candidates forced several elections into runoffs where two candidates duke it out without the coattails of their party’s heap in their corners. How many Democrats voted for Rep. Jim Marshall during the Obama wave last November but could not pick him out of [...]
Election Day

Rants, raves, predictions, contradictions, finger pointing, circular firing squad, kudos. Remember the Music Tab at the top of the page…for your little celebration at your desk at lunch and while watching the numbers roll in tonight…of course, the Blues is there if needed.
Rahm Emanuel out coached the RNC
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged Georgia, hillary, Jim Marshall, Obama, Rahm Emanuel on October 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »
It finally came to me that the Dem Team is much smarter than they use to be. Don’t think that Hillary, Barrack and John Edwards did not lock the door at a Blue Dogs meeting and say “if you can’t be with us, we understand, just don’t be against us.” What a pretty [...]
Mayberry v. Marshall in Georgia
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged Georgia, Herman Cain, Jim Marshall, Macon, Obama, politics on October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Prince had a song called “Style” in which he said, “Style is the face you make on a Michael Jordan dunk.” Well, I just made that face when I realized that Obama/Biden have the support of Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Andy Griffith—Opie, the Fonz and Sheriff Taylor. What optimizes Americana in the 50s [...]
Putting Kountry First
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged Georgia, Jim Marshall, Macon, mccain, Obama, politics, sanford bishop on October 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The African American community has a long history of putting all of our eggs in one basket and waking up the day after the election to broken eggs. This blog is the net extension of our desire to provide sage political strategies at pivotal times to maximize our clout and capital. Senator Obama keeps saying [...]
GA Congressman Marshall skips Historic Obama Speech
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged Georgia, Goddard, Jim Marshall, Obama, politics on August 27, 2008 | 15 Comments »
Rep. Jim Marshall will not be at the historic Obama acceptance speech in Denver. I want to give Marshall the benefit of the doubt because he just returned from his 15th trip to visit our troops—including middle Georgia soldiers. But, I wondered if he asked to take the trip during this time so he could [...]
