Slow Down And Think
The ‘ick’ in Rick Jackson is evident | Why is no one testing Keisha?
The Rick Jackson v Burt Jones ad wars had been entertaining for those of us outside Burt Jones campaign HQ for a while now, but if we take a moment to study it all further, to note that – according to an email chain obtained by the AJC (I’m guessing Burt Jones’ folks provided it) – Jackson baited Burt into taping a complimentary video using a foster children’s charity to lure him in last fall, does it not give you what the young people call “the ick?”
Meanwhile, stating the obvious, Burt Jones has now publicly said he believes Jackson is the source of all the money being ‘Georgians for Integrity’ attack ads targeting him.
Friend of the show Keith McCants’ latest Peanut Politics blog brings up a good point:
Before the GOP Tests Keisha Lance Bottoms, Democrats Better Do It First
He’s not wrong. As I’ve noted for a week plus now, the race for “second place” is on, as if the Democratic gubernatorial combatants have conceded the former Atlanta mayor will finish in position to be in a potential run-off. Keith’s wondering why none of those candidates are taking shots at Bottoms while the current GOP front-runner – Rick Jackson – is.
