I will be voting for Cathy Cox and Jim Martin

In the days of ancient Greece, the Greek city-state Sparta, upon defeating another city-state, would reward those who had supported Sparta, exile those who had opposed it, and execute those who had remained neutral.

Tomorrow I will be voting for Cathy Cox for governor and Jim Martin for lieutenant governor.

Dr. Charles Bullock of the University of Georgia makes the following prediction in today's InsiderAdvantage Georgia:

Tuesday will likely prove frustrating for the impatient. If the polls are anywhere close to accurate, then several of the statewide contests will not be resolved. While Taylor has led Cox for several months now, he has not broken 50% in publicly released polls. The presence of two minor candidates may deny either of the major candidates a majority necessitating a runoff on August 8. Voters turned off by the vitriol of the Cox – Taylor feud and gays unhappy that neither of these candidates offered any comfort when Judge Constance Russell struck down the gay marriage ban may register their protest by voting for one of the minor candidates.

The Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor will likely extend into a runoff along with both parties’ nominations for secretary of state. The primary will likely serve as a semi-final for the four candidates for the GOP nomination to run against Tommy Irvin for Agriculture commissioner with the final being between two north Georgians – Athens’ Brian Kemp and Commerce’s Gary Black.

While major offices will await final decisions in August, the likely turnout for the finals will likely be substantially smaller than in the primary.
