Poor Ralph. He's a victim. Just ask Cecil Staton. Today The Macon Telegraph published the following letter to the editor from Senator Staton. Here, Staton showed a typical yet profound lack of insight. Here's the letter
We are saddened that political discourse seems to reach a new low with every passing election. Just when we ask, "How low can it go?" the ads just get more vicious. This has been especially true in the race for lieutenant governor. For more than a year, Ralph Reed has been the victim of a ruthless campaign to smear his good reputation and long list of accomplishments.
For the liberal media and Ralph's opponents, it would seem that a campaign to stop casino gambling in Alabama is more important than the real issues Georgians face like jobs, health-care costs, education or threats to private property rights.
We have known Ralph and Jo Anne Reed for years. As head of the Christian Coalition and the Georgia Republican Party, Ralph has invested his life in promoting and protecting our values. Ralph has been accused of no wrongdoing. In fact, a two-year inquiry in Washington rejected his opponents' accusations and said Ralph was hired by a respected law firm and did his job well. Casino gambling did not expand in Alabama because of Ralph's work.
Ralph Reed is a proven Republican leader. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland supports Ralph. Zell and Shirley Miller support Ralph. We encourage you to reject negative campaigning by voting for a proven R leader, Ralph Reed, on Tuesday, July 18, to be Georgia's first ever Republican lieutenant governor.
Catherine and Cecil Staton

I guess that settles it. By the way, I wonder if Sen. Staton supported Zell in his bid for Governor or whether he approved of him being Barnes' appointment to fill Coverdale's seat. Sphere: Related Content
