The wonderful wonderful Mark Taylor will not be the next governor of Georgia. Instead, the citizens of Georgia have elected to keep as governor a man who has passed laws to make himself richer (quintessientially republican) while reducing Hope scholarship. I've said it once, I'll say it again. Don't mess with me and education, particularly paying for it. Without Hope me and a college education might not have happened. It would benefit Georgia to continue to attempt to educate the many young people of this state.

Can we say that this surprises us, from the state with a hunting and fishing amendment (which passed at 90%)? Seems like the little flag to get conservatives out to vote worked. Way to go, politics.
