Secretary of State Karen Handel talks about her bid and throwing her hat, I mean bonnet, into the ring for Governor.


Fox 5 has interviewed all the the Republican candidates for governor, and this is the interview with Secretary of State Karen Handel. The Fox 5 writeup on the interview is here.

Handel has defended the photo ID election law, and unlike many in my party, I have never had a problem with this. But if the party in power were really concerned with voter fraud, it would address absentee voting.

Handel has gone a step further by calling for Georgians to be required to prove their citizenship to register to vote, and I certainly don't have a problem with this.

"The Democrats are arguing that that's an unfair burden. We've got the photo ID at the ballot box to ensure the highest degree of integrity. We've got to have that same degree of integrity at the registration point," said Handle. Amen I say.

A decent interview, but like Oxendine, Handle needs to stay where she is. She is just not cut out of gubernatorial cloth.

And her main cheerleader, Governor Perdue, was also the cheerleader for DOT Commissioner Gena Evans, make that, former DOT Commissioner Gena Evans.
