Georgia | Atlanta Gets Started

Greetings Fellow Voters For Freedom…

Georgia was “early voting” last Monday through Friday, and our Secretary of State Cathy Cox thinks we could have a 70-75% voter turn-out.

Sunday morning after Mass, on every car windshield in the parking lot, I saw fliers which described each candidate’s position. It looks like we will see a solid Republican Catholic vote. Also, I conducted an informal poll this morning during rush hour while driving south-bound on I-75 into Atlanta: 24 total bumper stickers on 300 cars. 19 Bush v. 5 Kerry. Obviously not scientific, but I could swear that in the last few weeks I saw mostly Kerry stickers…

Overheard from a 20-something professional female customer to her partner this morning while we waited in line for donuts on Ponce de Leon Avenue (in what I would guess to be the most pro-Kerry section of town), “I can’t imagine Teresa Heinz Kerry as the first lady.” They got into a Camry - with North Carolina plates.

I sense that something pro-Bush happened to the electorate this weekend…

Over here in Decatur, there is a scattering of Bush signage, but this is overwhelmingly Kerry territory. And the constituents are NOT receptive to dissenting opinion!
