Although Gov. Perdue says harsh tone of the GOP contest is not all that bad, we recall the 2006 debacle with Mark T. Cathy C. & that it wasn't pretty.

Shannon McCaffrey writes in the ajc:

Karen Handel said Sunday night she would endorse Nathan Deal — the man she has blasted as "a corrupt relic of Washington" — if he won the Republican nomination for governor.

Deal refused to reciprocate as Georgia's bruising three-week GOP runoff for governor hurtled into the homestretch.

I read this after I read Jim Galloway's post in the ajc's Political Insider entitled "After the vote, it’s up to Sonny Perdue to piece things back together."

I thought when I read his post, and I think even more now after the forum sponsored by the Atlanta Press Club and aired statewide by Georgia Public Broadcasting, "After the vote, it’s up to Sonny Perdue to try to piece things back together."

Although the governor says Republicans shouldn’t be bothered by the harsh tone of the contest, our Party recalls 2006 with Mark Taylor and Cathy Cox, and that after the primary it wasn't a pretty scene just as was the case before the primary vote.
