From the Tip Line: Hecht may be down, but it would be unwise to count him out of this race. Hecht has ground teams in place that are working 24/7 to get his signs and literature out. Did you see the signs appearing over the weekend? And, I heard from friends in metro who received a "push poll" type call over the weekend asking for opinion in the race and then asking whether they would still vote for Jim is they knew...(a list of negatives.)
It may be that as few as 200,000 people vote in the runoff. (Remember that you can early vote beginning today at your local Board of Elections.) Your vote really does count in this type of race. Don't assume that Martin is secure just because of the mass condemnation of Hecht's tactics. Go vote.

Hecht Has Elves

I am sick and tired of folks telling to "let it go" when a candidate engages in the kind of tactics that Greg Hecht has. I will not "let it go": I will vote for Jim Martin and will encourage others to do so. When we "let it go", we give a candidate no consequence for such tactics. No wonder the tactics never change.
Jim Martin has not had to refute Greg's negativity since the AJC did in for him, a large group of attorneys attacked Greg for the same tactic, and the Macon Telegraph all but withdrew its endorsement of Greg over the mailing fiasco. So obvious was Greg's lie that everyone jumped on him. I also think that if Greg will stoop to this low in an attempt to win, no telling what he will do next. Character means something when it comes to campaigns, and I have serious doubts about Greg's. Folks in my neck of the woods are about sick of mudslinging, and if that it to be SOP for Mark and whoever the Lt. Governor candidate is, we are in for a long winter.
