May 17, 2007 - Just some thoughts on what the common delegate might see at the State Convention this year.
While the convention itself will be relatively dull in comparison to past conventions due to the lack of a race for State Chairman, here are some things to watch for:
The Americans For Prosperity and others pushing the Fair Tax. With the immigration debate all but lost based on today's news, this will be the new Holy Grail for Republican Grassroots activists. The clueless mainstream media will begin to "discover" the issue sometime this fall as momentum picks up.
Newt continuing his "Stealth" campaign for President at the Victory Dinner Friday night.
Fred Thompson supporters trying to gin up support.
Senators Isakson and Chambliss pushing the new immigration reform as a "good first step". Expect lots of opposition from the grassroots on this measure , only to be silenced by the State Party with a "go along to get along" attitude. We fought the good fight and lost. Tom Tancredo, where are you? Game Over.
Phil Kent promoting his book "Foundations of Betrayal". An apt title given the current immigration legislation.
Sue Everhart being congratulated endlessly as she assumes the State Leadership role. This Cobb County resident will run an effective administration with lots of backing from Republican officeholders. Congratulations Sue! It has been a long time coming.
Look for me to be wandering around aimlessly during various events on the delegate floor trying to find a good story . Share you stories here after the convention by emailing me at

Al asked, where is Tom Tancredo. He is in town! He was at a Fair Tax dinner tonight and I believe he will be at the State Convention tomorrow. We should not be surprised that our very own Cindye Coates is working with him.
