BRACK: Democrats welcome Bloomberg, slowly move toward nominee

By Elliott Brack  | Five Democratic debate candidates for president “welcomed” Mike Bloomberg to the debate stage Wednesday night, all seeking to take the late-blooming Bloomberg down a notch from his purchased double-digit showing in the polls. So far Mr. Bloomberg has not faced the voters. We’ll see Saturday what the Nevada caucus thinks of him, then follow the South Carolina primary on February 29 to see if Mr. Bloomberg has any real traction with voters.

BRACK: Will election 2020 in Gwinnett be 1984 upset in reverse?

By Elliott Brack  | Many of our readers may not remember what happened politically in Gwinnett in 1984. It was a major year for change in Gwinnett.

There’s reason many Gwinnettians may not remember it. That’s because in 1984 there were 226,100 people in Gwinnett. Today the population is 921,781, so another 701,681 people live here now. A majority were just not here in 1984.

BRACK: Isakson announcement turns Georgia political world topsy-turvy

By Elliott Brack  | The political world in Georgia got thrown topsy-turvy for the coming year’s election, when Sen. Johnny Isakson announced that he would resign from the Senate at the end of the year. The senior senator has served with distinction for 14 years, and has been re-elected rather easily two times. He was not so much the Republican party man, as he was more moderate in his decisions, reflecting many Georgian’s views.

BRACK: Bet on a political race? Would have better chance on a horse race

By Elliott Brack   | Horse races I’ll bet on.  But an election? Never.

After all, in horse races, there are certain probabilities. You know the horse’s record and its ancestry, the jockey, trainer and owner’s record, and even track conditions. You also know lots about the horse’s opponents.
