I have news for every father who dreams of watching his son play football in the S.E.C.  If he is an undersize, slow teen that doesn’t know how to placekick 50 yards, it’s likely not going to happen.  He can enjoy the character-building aspects of High School team sports but Junior as a volunteer will likely be a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity rather than the Tennessee Volunteers.

Along the same lines, political donors with strong party loyalty should know that several 2010 contests in Georgia won’t be contested in the general election—-save your contribution money and consider it an economic stimulus check from me. 

Since President Obama didn’t win Georgia last November, the Isakson Senate race will be a cakewalk—put your checkbook away.  The Democrat candidate for governor won’t have much of a chance either.   As a moderate Democrat, it pains me to say that our community should closely watch the GOP candidates and support the most reasonable one or the one with a sincere relationship with a range of Georgians.  (Did I say that diplomatically enough)?

If we are not careful, we will end up with a far-right GOP governor with a limited rapport with our community.  Then again, that type candidate runs well in their primary.  How dare some southern leaders: talk trash that you know is not true about the current President during the campaign, smash his recovery plans and then line up for a fat slice of the porky pie. 

Bottomline: in politics and life, choose your enemies carefully; be resourceful; and pick your battles.  The philosopher Tupac once said, “Give haters plenty space.”
