Jim Whitehead wins the Blockhead Award

In the federal run off election for 10th District, Republicans are guaranteed a winner or a whiner. And a recount.

Sonny Perdue hand picked Jim Whitehead for this Congressional seat. Perdue should have also sent Whitehead on a slow boat to China during the campaign season. Maybe, Perdue should have sunk the boat near Gillian's Island.

Just to clarify that, Whitehead and Gillian have a lot in common. Comedy. Only Gillian had a staff of writers and good direction.

Whitehead just had a single routine of sticking his foot in this mouth whenever appearing in public.

The 10th District cast about 60,000 votes for these two "top drawer," hand picked mammoths in the Republican Party. (sarcasm for the GOP readership)

That 60,000 votes might be 10 percent of the district. Just like in Macon, the GOP doesn't vote. So much for leadership, stewardship, and patriotism as GOP values. And for Perdue handpicking winners, whiners, and wieners for public office.

Bob Ellis, the last Democrat to run for the 10th in 2004, got more votes, over 68,000. out of 265,000. Ouch for Bob Ellis but the real hurt is for the 200,000 people that just said No to Perdue and the GOP. Given a choice of NOT voting or voting GOP, at least 200,000 found a better use for their time.

But, Whitehead might win the recount, or the remaining uncounted votes as only 98 percent of precincts are totaled.

Maybe I was being sarcastic when I said voters would get either a winner or a whiner.

Bottom line in the 10th? GOP machine losses steam and creates hot air. Voters and citizens take one in the loss column once again.
