Jason Pye over at PeachPundit is reporting that Vernon Jones has filed is paperwork with the FEC to seek the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Saxby Chambliss. This is no surprise, but, I agree with Pye- there is no chance that Jones can win that election. What scares me is the prospect that he might win a primary.
The question is, are we, Georgia Democrats, going to do this again-nominate a candidate who cannot win? Saxby is beatable folks, but not by Jones. Given the demographics of this state, the candidate will need to be a conservative Democrat who can raise boatloads of money quickly- and who lacks serious personal baggage. We cannot afford a contentious primary, and we must get behind THE candidate who is in the best position to WIN.
The DPG will undoubtedly seek to narrow that candidate field in that race, and any candidate who refuses to participate in that process will be off my list for support. Period. Vote 'em off the island.
