In the all republican election to fill Charlie norwoods seat, Paul Broun has an oh so slim lead over whitehead, Norwood's heir apparent. Broun managed to win 90% of Clark county, the fighting tenth's democratic stronghold. In the first special election held on June 19th (oh discordia!) Broun took a good chunk or Clarke away from democrat Marlow. While Broun was probably able to 90% because of support from democrats as the lesser of two evils and support from moderate republicans, it shows there might be a window. It might be tough if he gets a base in Clarke, but if we can get a stronger candidate in '08, and can make the race a clear republican versus democrat thing, we can take back Clarke county. If Broun turns out to be too liberal for the tenth, then there might be a republican primary. In such an event, with Broun either defeated by a more conservative republican, or forced to the right, we could win.
