North GA State Fair Showcases Cobb GOP

September 27, 2006 - This week the the Cobb GOP showcased the Republican candidates for the state and county races at the Cobb County Republican Booth at the North GA State Fair.
Several candidates and their volunteers took the opportunity to pass out information and answer questions from the always crowded booth. With the elections less than 40 days away, the voting public is starting to get serious about issue and candidate education, and this was evidenced by the large number of people stopping by the booth and asking questions like who the candidate was from their district and what the major issues were. If you hadn't had an opportunity to stop by yet the Fair runs through this weekend.

One fact that was evident is that dispite raising over $600,000 for race for the 13th Congressional District against incumbent David Scott, Dr. Deborah Honeycutt still suffers from lack of name recognition.

Special Thanks to Bob Koncerak for photo of yours truly at the State Fair.

Bill Byrne to Run for County Commissioners Board (Again)

September 2, 2006 - Give credit where credit is due. Back in May 2005, Conservative Sentinel observed that Bill Byrne was talking like a man who was running for office. He is, only instead of the govenorship, he is seeking a return to the Cobb County Commission in 2008. Byrne the led the commission prior to Sam Olens.

Conservative Sentinel has it rumored that Sam Olens is campaigning heavily behind the scenes for a federal judgeship and may not finish out his turn. Byrne will launch his web site in January and has already begun to file the paperwork.

Byrne has been dissatisfied with all 3 levels of the Republican lead Government (local, state, and federal) for their reckless fiscal spending and disregard for traditional conservative values.

Stay tuned for more!
