AJC endorses Taylor, noting: It's too bad Georgia's political system has not produced candidates for the state's highest position with more to offer.

The ajc writes:

In his four years as governor, Perdue has proved to be a competent manager, but he has a constrained concept of leadership. He has seemed almost complacent as governor, as if it were somehow inappropriate or unnecessary for Georgia's top leader to use his authority to push the state to improve itself.

Unfortunately, Taylor's inability to communicate [his] beliefs effectively in this campaign raises legitimate questions about how effective he would be as governor, dealing with a Republican Legislature. For whatever reason -- perhaps because of his poor showing so far in the polls, perhaps because of the hard battle he faced in his party's primary -- he has yet to find his footing in the fall campaign.

It's too bad Georgia's political system has not produced candidates for the state's highest position with more to offer. But in choosing between these two candidates, both of whom have little vision, Taylor is the better choice.
