Sandra Deal, wife of the governor, has asked them to play nice. Don’t “destroy” each other, she has begged. But her plea for sandbox rules is unlikely to have any effect.
Next year, four or five prominent Republicans will conduct scorched-earth campaigns for the nomination to replace Saxby Chambliss in the U.S. Senate. Millions of dollars will be spent on a slew of incendiary TV ads – first in a summer GOP primary, then in an all-but-certain runoff.
It doesn’t have to be that way. The 700,000 or so people likely to cast a GOP ballot next year could leave the decision to a small herd of Georgia Republican activists – sparing the rest of us all that noise and the candidates all that money.

I know you like to fly off the handle with your "you racist" chip on your shoulder and challenge people to a beat down in thugville but if you can't see the scarcasm due to x's past I can't help you. I've explained it so how about dropping it now. Do you fly off the handle like that often in public? "With all due respect" Now that's laughable.
