At the United PeachTree Corners Civic Organization candidate’s forum Liz gave me a few minutes of her time to talk about her candidacy:
It was my previous interview with Liz that prompted this trip. So far it has been very worthwhile.

Latest Examiner Article: A Tea Party Candidate before Tea Parties were cool. (Marty Lamb)

My latest examiner article is about Congressional Candidate Marty Lamb running in the 3rd Massachusetts district. A Tea Party Candidate before Tea Parties were cool a snipit:
Lamb not only attended the April 14th Tax day tea party & CPAC but he attended Last year’s April 15th tea party and made the first announcement of his candidacy there at Boston Harbor.
This was during the early days of the tea party, the media was still trying to define them as a group of fringe people and the idea of unseating a Massachusetts democrat in congress was as far fetched as the idea of a republican taking over the senate seat held by Ted Kennedy.
As always you can find my other Examiner Articles here.
I know you were probably expecting another Georgia post, but I have files still uploading and laundry that has to do so I’ve been kinda slow this morning.
Oh and to the best of my knowledge the media STILL has not reported on this relative of Holocaust survivors being called a Nazi in Worcester. If I’m wrong feel free to correct me.
Blogging will be off and on for the next 30 hours or so

…As I finalize my trip to Atlanta to take a peek at Ga-4 and the Liz Carter Campaign.
My plans for the week are not in stone, as I ‘m staying with friends and a family that I haven’t seen in decades I’ll of course be wanting to do some catching up but that won’t keep me from the purpose of the trip.
I’m hoping to meet pols, bloggers, tea party members and the voters who will decide the primaries and the general election and give you an idea of it as well.
This fight is being repeated all over the country and hopefully my bit will give you a useful glimpse.
Will people take the Tea Parties serious now? Bennett loses!

The Washington Post blog reports that Bob Bennett has been defeated in Utah:
Bennett was defeated there as Lee, a former counsel to popular former Gov. Jon Huntsman, and Bridgewater who had lost two races against Rep. Jim Matheson (D), advanced to the final ballot.
Bennett’s defeat marks the first time a sitting Senator has lost in an intraparty fight since 2006 when Sen. Joe Lieberman was ousted by wealthy businessman Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary. Lieberman went on to run and win as an independent; under state law Bennett cannot pursue that course.
Any republican who thinks that business as usual will be acceptable after a November win had better take a long hard look at that Utah result.
