The ‘ick’ in Rick Jackson is evident | Why is no one testing Keisha?

todayMarch 18, 2026

Background

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.
