Jim Powell back on the ballot
July 14, 2008 at 3:10 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsJust as soon as I spoke with Jim Powell about the eleventh-hour disqualification he believed was a game of political chess orchestrated by Secretary of State Karen Handel, this comes in via e-mail:
I am still a candidate. A Fulton County Superior court Judge just issued a Stay.
We’ll continue to watch. Waiting on a call from Handel’s office to see if his votes will indeed be counted. We’ll update when we know.

Great News! I’m excited to hear this!

You’re beating my pants off today, Thomas. I had already written Powell off as a non-story.
I love primary season!

It’s on, James! Attack!

Is it just me or is Karen Handel just acting like a Katherine Harris wannabe? Come on, this kind of thing may have worked in 2000, but we’re all a lot smarter and more jaded.

Great news indeed! This definitely sounded fishy when I first heard he was off the ballot. God forbid we have someone qualified serve as a public servant.

Judge that ruled: John J. Goger
