Saxby Chambliss hosts GOP party in Buckhead
November 5th, 2008 by Web Editor in GalleriesWhile the eyes of the world and nation were affixed on the race between Barack Obama and John McCain, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss was running a tight one himself against Democratic nominee Jim Martin. On Nov. 4, the Republican incumbent — who as things stand now is facing a runoff — hosted his fellow Republicans at the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead. Cash bars, fancy suits and pretty women were a-plenty. As well as open-jawed silence around midnight when McCain conceded to the senator from Illinois.

What was Vernon doing there? Was he supporting Saxby? The man who voted twice for Bush was supporting Saxby? So was that meeting between Saxby and Vernon before Vernon announced his candidacy really about Vernon running as a Dem so that he could make sure Saxby won?
Vernon, though not entirely responsible, is largely responsible for the success of Dunwoody’s city movement and their theft of the Perimeter Center Commercial Tax Base.
Is this guy the stalking horse?
Can I at least tell my Dunwoody republican neighbors to just shut up about how “crooked” and “dsyfunctional” he is because he is really one of them?
Saxby and voting for McCain/Palin how out of step can GA possibly be.
