Edited to add link about Handel's experience with Susan Komen:

As secretary of state, she purged the voter rolls, blocked Democratic candidates from running, supported voter ID laws, and, most importantly, ignored warnings about the lack of security of their electronic voting machines which have no paper trail. How would we truly know if either candidate really won?

Somebody spent a lot of money to keep her in the lime-light. Who is her sugar daddy? What did they pay for? She is a fully owned subsidiery of someone.

IMHO.

I stopped supporting that organization. They never highlighted this in the GA election. A women is going to vote now in the House of Representatives to cut off funding of planned parenthood that gives wome breast exams. She really is an evil wrench.

of individuals intent upon destroying our country.

She's proven her ability to wreck things, cheat, lie, and if you listen to what she says, she sure has the disdain for those who have less than she does down pat.

Who gives her money? Probably the Kochs, but does it really matter? All those RW billionaires are about the same.
