Taylor to Retire From Politics

Yes, that's what Mark Taylor says. According to the AJC, if he doesn't win tomorrow, it's all over. He has no plans to ever run for another office. This is not a big surprise, but it does explain his slash and burn approach to this campaign. Mark's goal is to be Governor, and if that doesn't happen, he doesn't see a political future for himself.

On his trip around the state today, Taylor rode on his father's plane. What a metaphor for Taylor's political career. His father also provided the trust fund that awaits Mark and helped leverage the loan that allowed him to begin television ads three weeks before Cathy. That kind of privilege is exactly what most Georgians can't relate to. I'll say this, though: this is a family with resources, so it should be one heck of a retirement party!

I also think that this will be a very close contest tomorrow and do appreciate the struggle that many people have had with the decision to vote, or not vote and for whom. Cathy, I think and hope, has the courage to do the things that she has promised- make government more open to the people. That would be a step in the right direction. I'm glad that you're going to vote.

I hope that guy doesn't puke on his keyboard. Sooooo hard to clean between the keys. Oh well, he can probably get a new one online for ten or twelve bucks.
What I wonder is how many of the anti-Cathy contributors to this site have been out working their butts off for their preferred candidates like you and I have? And how many of them have put their money where their mouth is..like you and I have! If our candidate wins, we can give ourselves a pat on the back. You deserve more than one pat! If our candidate loses, we will at least know that we did the very best we could! Whew!
