I love it when pols say move to the center for the gen election. So they were lying in the primary? #uppersThat is what is going on right now in Georgia. The pols are saying "move to the middle" as if going after "swing voters" which is also known as the least informed voters of all. Michelle "No Backbone" Nunn is "the only candidate who can win". Or so say a lot of politico's who will reap jobs and appointments from having a Democratic Senator in DC.

But working class families in Georgia don't get to reap the spoils of a party machince. So "swing voters" are a must for politico's but why? Might it be that the voters who show up to the real world a few days before the election to make their choice between the few trivial facts they know about the candidates be the smartest voters? Or couuld it be that the dumbest most ill informed voters are a prop in a Side-show act?
Why are we fighting to win over (over a year before they'll pay attention) the opinions of swing voters?
The fact is, "No backbone" Nunn is a liar--and a neoliberal. Ms. 1% isn't trying to be a "conservative Democrat" so we can win in November. She is trying to convince the base that the interests of the 1% are the same thing as what "conservative" voters want.
This is a card trick for Democratic activists who aren't paying close enough attention to the hands of the politco's and elected officals who are busy saying Michelle Nunn rulz!!!
We need a Democrat with the backbone to stand up to the Tea Party. If we learned anything by the war in Iraq; its that when we have Democrats with no backbone in DC real humans die and suffer needlessly.
This isn't a game. We have no choice but to work like hell to keep the neoliberal wing from winning the Georgia Democratic primary.
