It’s perhaps ironic that while in full spin-mode trying to defend Jason Carter’s alleged commitment to Georgia public education, the fancy consultants for Jason Carter’s gubernatorial campaign illustrated the contempt in which they hold Georgians and our educational institutions.
I’m a product (mostly) of Georgia schools, having more of my primary and secondary education in Gwinnett County Public Schools than anywhere else. I went to college at a little school in Atlanta that had as one of it’s distinguished faculty a former President named Jimmy Carter. Only ever saw him on campus when he sped by in his motorcade though.
Matt McGrath, recently from the cratering Ed FitzGerald gubernatorial campaign in Ohio is undoubtedly smarter than me, though my educational pedigree also includes a few years in the Ohio and Illinois public school systems. Apparently, he’s from California. So not just smarter than I am, but probably better-looking.
His partner in condescension, Bryan Thomas, is also a Californian, having been educated in the fine UC system before graduate school at Georgetown.
At the end of the day, what Georgians think of the dynamic duo from California doesn’t matter, as they and the rest of the Democratic national organization is only interested in Georgia for two things. First, they want Michelle Nunn in the Senate to provide a go-along-to-get-along vote for Harry Reid. Second, they want to experience first-hand the magic of a Carter presidency.
It’s also worth noting the irony in the Jason Carter campaign’s use of the phrase “desperate attempt to deflect” in their own desperate attempt to deflect attention from Carter being MIA while the DeKalb County Schools were in crisis. It’s a banner day on Twitter for the snarky Californians.
