Today's news from GAGOP Presidential Preference Primary Date Set

Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced yesterday that Georgia’s Republican Presidential Preference Primary will be held on Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Also known as “Super Tuesday,” Georgia will join at least 10 other states across the country to hold what will be one of the largest and most vital days of the entire GOP primary process. Also, in accordance with the rules of the RNC, Georgia’s 76 delegates will be allotted proportionately to the candidates based on votes garnered in the primary election. Release: Georgia Republican Party Chairman Everhart Statement on Georgia’s Presidential Preference Primary  Nearly two weeks after President Obama sent his $450 billion jobs bill to Congress with the inspiring message “Pass this Bill,” Mr. Obama has still failed to rally up enough support for the measure – in his own Party. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) conceded this week that the Senate Democrats do not have enough votes to pass the President’s bill, even though they hold the majority in the chamber.
