The Athens Republican Party will be hosting a debate tonight at 7:00PM (EST) in the auditorium at UGA's Grady College of Journalism, to air on local T.V. news outlets across the state:

The line-up so far:

• Georgia State Senator Jeff Chapman of Brunswick
• United States Representative Nathan Deal of Gainesville
• Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel of Atlanta
• Georgia State Senator Eric Johnson of Savannah
• Businessman Ray McBerry of Cumming [my comment: This guy is the GA Republican Party's equivalent to TX's Debra Medina, in striking similarites (other than looks :D)]
• Georgia State Representative Austin Scott of Tifton

[I expect that since there are more candidates participating in this debate than the three that Texas had, it will be even more limited as to how much the candidates can really get their message out, but that's the way of things, I suppose]

Update: www.cbsatlanta.com will be running a live stream of the debates, for all you out-of-towners.

Hows McBerry been doing so far?

Much like Peter Schiff's campaign: Very well-received everywhere he speaks, but limited in his campaign-trail speaking appearances. :(

[Okay, maybe not quite like Peter, if you include all the business pundit interviews Peter has done in the past]

My point is: I suspect that this will be the first time that many Georgians get to hear about his candidacy.

[edit: had to re-word what I was trying to say, lol]

Well, Ray's closing statement was a home run... He literally laid it out for Georgians. Clear, precise, and to the point. His lack of political rhetoric is refreshing...
