BRACK: Early Democratic euphoria evaporates looking at runoff results

By Elliott Brack | DEC. 11, 2018  |  Georgia Democrats may be encouraged by their 2018 election showing, but they should not be so upbeat about any long term prospect at winning control over the state soon.

All it takes is a look at the results in the two runoff elections.

FOCUS: Report from a Gwinnettian on the GOP convention

By B.J. Van Gundy | Two weeks ago it was my honor to be one of the 76 GOP Delegates to represent Georgia at the Republican National Convention. I have now attended several conventions and the feeling of appreciation for those that put their faith in me to represent them, as well as the excitement, has not diminished since my first national convention in San Diego in 1996.

WOOD: Gwinnettian reflects about United States’ painfully polarized people

By Michael Wood | Police shooting black men. A black man shooting police. Political candidates for President of the United States who have either old, heavy baggage or who are creating their own new, heavy baggage by producing heavily grating comments.

BRACK: Candidates on both sides seem to prosper from outlandish statements

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher| The national political scene leading up to the presidential election has been a wild one so far, primarily thanks to the whirlwind politics of Donald Trump. Though many do not think he will eventually be the Republican nominee, nevertheless Trump has dominated the media, blown most of the other GOP candidates nearly out of the water, and engineered an unusual candidacy.

BRACK: McKoon’s far-out views could benefit the Democrats

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | It’s a natural law: a pendulum, once swinging, will always reverse its course.

Sometimes, it takes forever for that pendulum to move the other way. Look at the State of Georgia, Democratic always until 2002, when the Republicans finally won the governor’s office. Up until then, the statehouse had been slowly moving toward a more conservative, Republican bent, with the GOP finally gaining control of both houses in 2004.
