Paul Braun for GOP senate nomination

Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss has announced he will not run for re-election in 2014.   Among others who are signalling a run, Rep. Tom Price is likely to run and would be considered the strongest GOP candidate, and therefore the most dangerous candidate for the liberal cause.   But this week, Rep. Paul Braun has let it be known that he plans to run.

Paul Braun is the infamous Georgia congressman representing the district the include Athens.  Yes, that Paul Braun.   One whom the GOP leadership picked to be a member of the House Science committee and who is now infamous for his belief that the idea of evolution is "straight from the pits of hell."

So let's get behind Braun.   He would be the easiest candidate for a Democrat to beat.  We could retake one senate seat for Georgia and break the deadlock the Republicans have on all state-wide elected office holders.

Besides having views that could only appeal to the wacko-fringe of conservatism, Braun is pretty stupid and easy to lampoon.   For example, in last year's election, he was running unopposed in his Athens district.   Yet he had a big billboard up in Sandersvile.

Now you could say that it's good to keep his image before the voters, even if he had no opposition.   But, folks, Sandersville is not even in Paul Braun's district.  Nobody living in Sandersville could possibly vote for him.  They have a different congressman.

Stupid?  Yep.   So that's why we need to have Paul Braun be the GOP nominee.

PS:  Now the question is?   Can he run for his own seat in the House and also run for Senate?  I would have said no, but Paul Ryan was re-elected to the House in the same race he was on the ticket as Vice President.   Remains to be clarified.
