Ralph Reed's campaign for Georgia's Lieutenant Governor is tanking because of his links to Abramoff. If he weren't so tainted, he'd probably win, seeing this is Georgia and all. The attack adds for both Reed and his opponent are both ludicrous assertions of their "values." "Ralph Reed believes in traditional values." "Casey Cagle won't sell out Georgia's values." For both, that's Republispeak for anti-gay marriage, anti-evolution, anti-choice. Cagle wants to reinstate the 1956 Georgia State Flag, the one that incorporates the Rebel flag of Confederate lore. Yep. Those are Georgia's values all right. I'll make my futile expression of values tomorrow in the voting booth.
