His nearly four years of incompetence has made that abundantly clear. So why would the Republican kingmakers in the shadows decide to choose Olens? Is it because he is weak and easily influenced? Is it because he is easily intimidated and manipulated? Is it because he is ambitious and realizes his weaknesses and understand unless he keeps the party bosses happy he would be back to obscurity writing contracts?
Who knows…. Who were the puppet masters that had it out for Don Balfour? I sure would love to find out and I suspect Don Balfour probably knows the answer or at least has a few good educated guesses.
Maybe he will decide to get some revenge and we will find out one day if he spills the beans. Someone certainly wanted him removed and even with the acquittal they accomplished their main goal which was likely to get him out of the Senate and public service completely. So perhaps Sam Olens won after all since his goal quite possibly was not to win any of those felony counts but to destroy Dan Balfour politically.
Fait Accompli. Kudos Mr. Olens, you absolutely suck as an Attorney General for the citizens of Georgia, but you sure seem to make a wonderful puppet for the party bosses behind the scenes when they decide someone is no longer useful or needs to be pushed to the side. They can be vicious I hear and new puppets are already queuing up to take your place. Governor or Governor if that is your ambition. A mealymouthed Florida born and New Jersey raised boy is not likely to win over the red meat voters of the party.
You won as Attorney General because few pay attention to that office or know who you are and the party bosses decided they wanted you there. But if you try and run for a higher office, your accent alone will ensure you lose in the primaries.
Your debate performance against Greg Hecht was pathetic. It is not the fact that you are a yank that would stop your ambitions, but you are the exact opposite of someone like Chris Christie who could possibly win here because he has charisma and bravado even if you dislike his politics. You have none of his charm or appeal. You seem to be a nice guy and therein lies the problem. I sincerely hope for the good of Georgia you are defeated and return to the life you are far more suited to handling which is paperwork and contracts.
It is time we returned a prosecutor to the job of Georgia Attorney General and sent the lieutenant back to the trenches. Musings of an unabashed and unapologetic liberal deep in the heart of a Red State.
