Handel's campaign partners

Karen Handel sent out a press release bragging on her appearance at Red State's convention in Atlanta. To give you an idea of where Handel is coming from, she's proud to campaigning alongside ...

Rep. Roy Blunt from Missouri - who recently admitted he's sympathetic to the 'birthers';

Pat Toomey from Pennsylvania - who is opposed to Social Security and Medicare;

Gov. Rick Perry of Texas - who called for Texas to secede from the Union;

Safe to say that she's aligning herself with the far right of the party that, as of late, has dabbled its toes in the pool of crazy.

I did enjoy this portion ...

Karen's speech will focus on the success liberal groups have had in subverting elections across the country and the danger they pose to Democracy.

Of course, by 'subverting elections' she means 'winning them handily' so there's that.
