My name is RuralDem and I am a Conservative Democrat residing in a small county in Middle Georgia.<br /><br />This blog will focus mainly on listing endorsements for Georgia's 2010 statewide races. Other Georgia races may be added later. I will also occasionally blog about other political news.<br /><br />If you'd like to contribute, either by posting an entry, or even providing a valuable rumor or tip, please send me an email at ruraldem@gmail.com.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6025802748688801731-6361379454833079922?l=ruraldem.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RuralDemnoreply@blogger.com0
