[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 128436, member: 2189"] Interesting events in the Georgia Governors race. You have the sitting Governor being accuses of shady money deals and then you have the opposition also being accused of similar money deals. In other words. to an independent observer or in this case, the voter, your choice is between 2 individuals with shadows of corruption hanging over their heads. This was more evident in a recent debate between the 2 but with an added twist. There was a 3rd candidate (3rd party) in the debate mostly ignored because he was only talking about issues and what he felt were solutions to the many problems. Also the media doesn't consider his chances are much anyway and history would seem to show this being correct. You could debate the merits of the problems and solutions which is media boring and the mud and drama of championship wrestling is more inviting for media purposes but while the other 2 were slinging mud this guy (3rd party candidate) was focused and talking ideas and how to get there. The results? Both the standard party candidates including the sitting governor slipped in the polls with the 3rd party candidate going up significantly especially amongst undecided. I'm not foolish enough to think that these undecided voters swinging to the 3rd party are in total agreement with the candidate but it's more a backlash to the status quo of the 2 major parties. Now the numbers aren't enough to put the 3rd candidate over the top by any stretch but it could cause a runoff election and it is creating a local media stir. Not panic but I'm sure concern is out there and it will be interesting to see the other debates that are yet to come to see if the 2 major party candidates redirect or continue the same track. I'm hoping their errogance is their undoing! What IMO is a good sign is people are starting to react against the negativity of elections where mud is in ample supply and solutions and ideas are mainly nowhere to be found. To me, this is a very good sign and also a healthy sign for the American voter as a whole. [/QUOTE]
