I love it (I hope Barnes does also) -- Handel is making phone calls to GOP activists around the state, assuring them that she is running for governor.
From the AJC's Political Insider:
Secretary of State Karen Handel has been making phone calls to Republican activists around the state, assuring them that she is, indeed, running for governor.
The first-term secretary of state has yet to collect a dime for the 2010 contest — while her two GOP rivals, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and state Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine, have already raised more than $1 million each.
Handel’s entry into the race has two implications that could very well be connected. First, all three suburban candidates must presume that an 18-month slog will result in a run-off between two of them. The prospect will thrill Democrats.
A Handel campaign for governor also guarantees that, in Georgia, the GOP debate over gender and politics won’t end with Sarah Palin.
