What should those who will likely vote for President Obama do between now and when? I am personally watching the GOP nomination contest and thinking about voting in that primary for the candidate I could see in the White House. Yes, yes, I know that conventional wisdom dictates that Obama supporters should be cheering for [...]

Teachers and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

We have all seen the Geico commercial where Charlie Daniels takes the violin from a strolling player in a fancy restaurant, rips some righteous fiddle licks and gives it back to the guy before saying, “That’s how you do it, son.” I enjoy everyone on the violin from Daniels to the brother in Dave Matthews Band [...]
Congressional Candidates and Howler Monkeys
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged Fox News, Georgia, mccain, Obama, tea party on February 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In his reelection bid, Senator John McCain doesn’t deserve opposition from former Congressman J.D. Hayworth. J.D. is good people and constantly spoke to staff on the Hill; I think he thought I was a former football player like him. But, the Ultra-conservatives’ challenges to anyone who dares dialog is with the other party puzzles me. [...]
Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator John McCain: Republican Political Climate Controllers
Posted in politics, tagged blue dogs, Georgia, GOP, Isakson, Lindsey Graham, mccain on October 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The Blue Dogs are sitting pretty these days despite the heat from the summer protests because certain elements are pulling the Right too far right. The success of the Tea Parties could produce a third party movement rather than new numbers for the GOP. We in the center would be more inclined to stick with [...]
President Obama a One Termer by choice and Art Shell
Posted in politics, tagged Hillary Clinton, mccain, NFL, Obama on August 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Jim Galloway of the Atlanta Journal Constitution has reported that Rep. Leonard Boswell of Iowa said that President Obama is prepared to be a one-term president to pass health care reform and his energy plan. Wait a second…that sounds familiar. I have been saying the same thing on this blog for a year. Because I [...]
Understanding Southern Subcultures: Political Parties
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, hillary, mccain, Obama, republicans on January 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Once and for all: the affection and connections that Republicans have for the GOP is not the same feelings most Democrats have for the DNC. It just isn’t. Other than teachers and union members, people who voted for Democrats in the South (outside of urban areas) are not diehard party faithfuls. The GOP subculture is [...]
Shoe tossing and Tamron Hall
Posted in politics, tagged American flag, George Bush, humor, mccain, msnbc, Obama, shoe, tamron on December 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
That blank blank guy who tried to hit President Bush with his shoes struck a nerve with me for a reason that seems to be escaping everyone else: the second shoe hit the American flag. If I were the American president (use your imagination) and knew our flag was behind me, I would have [...]
Bridge the Divide

We created Project Logic Ga (P.L.Ga) during the 2008 election season as a blog for African Americans to discuss political and policy issues in an effort to foster political diversity for our community. P.L.Ga evolved into a meeting place for anyone (regardless of race) to debate and interact on these matters. In short, the [...]

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.
GOP Leader Don Scoggins backs Obama
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, GOP, mccain, Obama, Scoggins on November 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Anyone familiar with the Black conservative efforts nationally knows Don Scoggins of Maryland. Mr. Scoggins is about as GOP as you can get; but, I received the following today. Hats off to Don for putting country over party by voting for Obama/Biden and I hope that a better GOP mergers from this election process. [...]
Never would have made it
Posted in politics, tagged mccain, Obama on October 28, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I could be out of line for writing this but remember all of the leaders in your prayers. And remember that Senator McCain will still be in the Senate where he has a well-earned reputation for “change” and reform. If he doesn’t win the presidency, a GOP maverick would so significant to improving Washington.
November 5th Etiquette email
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, mccain, Obama, palin on October 27, 2008 | 5 Comments »
You be the judge: is this email cute humor, useful information or somewhat offensive. November 5th Etiquette After watching the final debate, it dawned on me that Obama could actually win this thing. If that happens, there will be a lot of people (some of our co-workers included) who will be afraid that an [...]
Republican Rhetoric Dialers Needed

As we enter the final phase of this political season, we calculate what decisions and strategies would best serve the African American community. Six months from now, will we says “I wish we would have done this or that differently.” I don’t play checkers; I play chess—always thinking three or four moves ahead. When [...]
Don’t Vote for President of the U.S.
Posted in politics, tagged Board of Elections, Congress, mccain, Obama, voting on October 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I thought that headline would get your attention. And I’m sure it did. Of course, I want you to vote for a candidate for the office of President of the United States. But I wonder. I just wonder how many of you know of anyone else’s name and/or seat that is on the ballot this [...]
Family Tradition..Really
Posted in politics, tagged mccain, Obama, palin on October 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
What in the world is up with the McCain-Palin handlers; is anyone giving logical consideration to campaign songs? The senator should have called me to pull a “Zell” for him and watch his back. I see Hank Williams Jr. doing a McCain-Palin song to the tune of “Family Tradition ” (no comment) and I wonder [...]
Putting Kountry First

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 [...]
Thanks Senator McCain
Posted in politics, tagged Georgia, mccain, Obama, palin, politics on October 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My mother is reluctant about voting for Senator Obama because she is concerned that if he is elected something will happen to him. Mrs. Alma Powell talked General Colin Powell out of walking into the presidency from either party out of the same concern. Thank you, Senator John McCain for honorably taking the high [...]
Georgia Debate Drama

There is a big debate in Perry tonight at the Georgia State Fairgrounds. Senator Saxby Chambliss v. Democrat Jim Martin, and Congressman Jim Marshall v. General Rick Goddard. I can’t make it because I will be watching Survivor Africa, Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, ER and CSI Las Vegas. But then again, the event in [...]
Sowing the Seeds

Two wars, Wall Street failing, gas as high as a kite, economy on life support and someone wants to talk about Charles Keating and William Ayers. My birthday was the day after Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner were killed in Mississippi by domestic terrorists in 1964. For most of my southern childhood, the possibility of terrorists [...]
