This beat down inspired democrat Vernon Jones to run in the Democrat senate primary as a Barry-Clone.<\/p>\n<p>That <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freerepublic.com\/focus\/f-news\/2057412\/posts\">didn\u2019t work out <\/a>so well for Vernon.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Politicians grabbing Barack Obama\u2019s coattails should take note: In the Georgia democratic Senatorial primary runoff held yesterday, Jim Martin defeated Vernon Jones by a 60% to 40%. Martin will now face the Republican senior Senator from Georgia, Saxby Chambliss, in November\u2019s election. This doesn\u2019t seem to bode well for Obama\u2019s presidential quest. Jones\u2019s campaign hoped to emulate Obama\u2019s impressive primary victory in Georgia (he defeated Senator Hillary Clinton in Georgia, 66.4% to 31.1%), but now he\u2019s failed to even make it to November\u2019s ballot. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, Jones distributed campaign paraphernalia consisting of a picture of himself and Obama, with the words \u201cYes We Can!\u201d prominently scrawled underneath the photographs&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reading that reminded of a recent article that I read about Obama running through money like crap through a goose.  What struck me then was that he was spending money in places where he has zero chance of winning, like Texas.<\/p>\n<p>The stories of Obama spending all over creation while McCain seems focused on battle ground states are still out there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.411mania.com\/politics\/columns\/81601\">This one <\/a>got my attention:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Obama is outspending McCain in: Florida, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, New Hampshire, and North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting here is that McCain is outspending Obama in almost all the &#8220;traditional swing states.&#8221; Most of the states Obama is outspending McCain in are states that most figured wouldn&#8217;t even be in play this year &#8212; Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, and North Dakota. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s also interesting to see that McCain has spent NOTHING in Florida while Obama has spent more there than anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>When you are spending millions against zero and get results like this, a person has to wonder.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia:  McCain +11<br \/>\nFlorida McCain +6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barack Obama throttled Hillary Clinton in the Georgia primary by two to one.
