Odd primary challenges
Are few things more laughable than Markel Hutchins's challenge against Rep. John Lewis? Not only is he running against one of the most revered and respected men in the state of Georgia, but he's trying to do so by claiming Lewis is part of the 'establishment' who receives tons of special interest money. That makes no sense on a variety of levels.
Yesterday, he criticized Lewis for switching his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama, claiming it was done out of opportunism (though Hutchins had been arguing that Lewis was ignoring the wishes of his constituents in not supporting Obama) which, of course, is a pretty dumb line of attack.
So who is Hutchins?
His Wikipedia entry claims that folks refer to him as the next Martin Luther King Jr., though it offers zero references to back that claim up. Even more amusing is his campaign declaration speech which, aside from the numerous typos, includes a quote from rapper Bonecrusher.

For what it is worth (probably not much) but Blake is reporting that Rep. Barrow has endorsed Obama. Like I said, not worth much - other than leave it to Barrow to jump on the bandwagon as soon as it is safe to do so.
