  • Needed Precipitation

    When I was in Georgia politics, the Atlanta newspaper supposedly covered the region “…like the dew.” By the time I left, the combined Atlanta newspapers were retracting in both areas of coverage and availability.

    Thanks to this podcast, at least the important subject of Georgia politics is back, and now not just covering area like dew… it’s a nice spring shower of information, all over the world.

    Highly recommended.

  • How Greg

    Greg is very fair. He approaches hard conversations with respect. He doesn’t shy away from topics. He gives his guest space to express their opinion.

    He should be hosting a tv show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Cowan’s comeback and a new era for Georgia Republicans in Congress
Q: Tell me what type of lawmaker you want to be and who you want to model yourself after.
Cowan describes himself as a servant leader focused on listening to constituents, bipartisan collaboration, and delivering tangible results, while valuing constitutional principles and experience from a medical and community background.
Georgia GOP tensions, House control and the politics of data centers
Q: Is Burt Jones endorsing Rick Jackson?
The hosts explain that while polling shows strong Republican base support for Rick Jackson, Burt Jones has not endorsed him, making the race symbolic for moderates and keeping scrutiny on the endorsements dynamic.
Jordan Fuchs on the GOP’s 2026 Challenges and Brad Raffensperger’s Future
Q: How real is the enthusiasm gap among Republicans and what does that mean for the upcoming elections?
There is ongoing debate about enthusiasm, with anecdotes of both strong MAGA rallies and concerns about turnout in key metro areas; the strategist suggests focused messaging toward independents and swing voters while maintaining base energy to avoid a repeat of lower turnout on Election Day.
Jordan Fuchs on the GOP’s 2026 Challenges and Brad Raffensperger’s Future
Q: So Jordan, give us your diagnosis of where Republicans are right now. Is this a 50-50 state or tilting toward Democrats heading into November?
Based on the discussion, the GOP appears to be in a state of anxiety with a potential shift toward Democrats in certain races, driven by pocketbook concerns, independents, and the impact of national politics on local races; however, the party remains dominant in statewide offices with strong fundraising and organizational strength, making the outcome highly contingent on messaging and turnout strategies.
Medicaid Expansion, Kemp and Rick Jackson, and Musk money in Georgia?
Q: Is it possible for Keisha Lance Bottoms to expand Medicaid as governor without legislative action?
No, a newly elected governor cannot unilaterally expand Medicaid by executive order; the expansion requires legislative action or a change in policy within the constitutional framework, though the governor can influence the process and set priorities to push for negotiation.
