The Ghost Vote Project received a nice response from readers of this blog. If the Right and Left can seek clarification from congressional candidates, the Center should do the same. After all, candidates are looking for our votes and support. Obama supporters have no questions about most Georgia’s Blue Dogs and I appreciate their efforts to help this administration craft sound policy.
The position of Rep. Jim Marshall isn’t as clear because he really is an independent in a unique district. Hey, give the gentleman from Macon an opportunity to answer a few questions.
1. Did Rep. Marshall vote for Obama or McCain in 2008?
2. Is Rep. Marshall a supporter of most of the major legislative initiatives from the Obama White House?
3. Is the Democrat agenda out of step with Marshall legislative views?
Of course, the people of the 8th congressional district ultimately will decide who best represents them. But, center has a right to ask straight questions. If people aren’t satisfied with Marshall’s answers, they should consider skipping the automatic vote for him in the primary election as a signal.
