Saxby’s Buckhead campaign soiree
November 5, 2008 at 6:10 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsBehold, Buckhead! On Election Night, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss hosted his campaign party at the Intercontinental Hotel in the posh enclave in North Atlanta. When not shaking hands or buying more drink tickets for the cash bar, party guests monitored election results on screens placed around the ballroom. Notables included U.S. Reps. Lynn “Uppity” Westmoreland and Phil Gingrey, state lawmakers, and even DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones.

Was Vernon supporting Saxby?
So is it true he ran in the Dem primary to help Saxby win?
And he acted the way he did to incentivize Dunwoody to do its cityhood drive and steal the Perimeter Center Commercial tax base from the rest of us in DeKalb?
So can we get Sonny and Saxby to appoint him Mayor of Dunwoody since he’s really a republican.
Oh that would be sweet!!!
