By Elliott Brack | DEC. 11, 2018  |  Georgia Democrats may be encouraged by their 2018 election showing, but they should not be so upbeat about any long term prospect at winning control over the state soon.

All it takes is a look at the results in the two runoff elections.

FOCUS: Report from a Gwinnettian on the GOP convention

By B.J. Van Gundy | Two weeks ago it was my honor to be one of the 76 GOP Delegates to represent Georgia at the Republican National Convention. I have now attended several conventions and the feeling of appreciation for those that put their faith in me to represent them, as well as the excitement, has not diminished since my first national convention in San Diego in 1996.

BRACK: Candidates on both sides seem to prosper from outlandish statements

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher| The national political scene leading up to the presidential election has been a wild one so far, primarily thanks to the whirlwind politics of Donald Trump. Though many do not think he will eventually be the Republican nominee, nevertheless Trump has dominated the media, blown most of the other GOP candidates nearly out of the water, and engineered an unusual candidacy.
