Common Sense: 1
Stupidity: 1,000,000

We have a ways to go before it catches up though.

Since I live in Clayton County, as soon as I hear any election results I'll post them.

Neat!  I've been following this story closely since I was born in Clayton County, but have lived in Henry for most of my life.  Way sucky that she lost.

Yeah and 58% to 42% is a pretty decisive loss.  But at least that "witch" of a mayor lost also and she was the one behind all the fuss even if she won't admit it.
