With all due respect to you and Mr. King, this is a strong NOPE from me. I cannot read one more piece about this race and blaming progressives for not embracing Bottoms. We CAN'T realistically sit here and say what the Reed administration w/ Bottoms as his right hand, has done...

Hey Stacey. Did you read my piece? I'm not blaming progressives for the Atlanta race, but using the stuff "progressives" said to me directly to highlight an important problem. I hope you will check it out.

Wow, you actually replied. I did and still have a problem with this. The entire piece is presumed upon notion that there was an actual progressive to choose from (there wasn't) and that progressive owe Democrats their votes. They don't and not mutually exclusive to Dems.

I agree with every single word both of you have said. A more progressive candidate was available. He got blown out. No matter how we paint her, Mary Norwood was not/ is not more progressive than Bottoms. @MeritLaw & I both had negative experiences with Norwood.
