The Big Guy Is Deflating

Georgia’s Democrat Governor Candidate Mark Taylor (“The Big Guy”) I think is losing his strength. On the other hand, it appears Governor Sonny Perdue is gaining strength.

I think what it boils down to is charisma and the warm big-hearted look… which, in the back ground probably boils down to acting coaching and who has the better advertising agency.

Lately in the ads Mark Taylor has been wearing dark suits, which he might be wearing to conceal his bulky weight, but in a way that is trying to deceive people of his nick name “The Big Guy”. What do they call him for short, “The”?

And, with his suit on he looks a bit too formal, not sleeves rolled up working kind of good old guy. And also in his commercials it appears he has a 5 O’clock shadow, which from cheap old black and white westerns to Richard Nixon we have learned that people with 5 O’clock shadows are not to be trusted.

On the other hand Sonny comes off as warm sincere person with a twinkle in his eyes who “just wants to do the right thing.”

And the fact that Sonny pulled the old Republican hat-trick of lower taxes, or no taxes for the elderly, and more expenses (tracking down and severely punishing sex criminals) so his sweet lovable wife can sleep at nights doesn’t hurt him at the polls either.

Mark Taylor and Sonny Perdue are saying they will be ruthless on criminals – which, of course everybody wants to live in a safer environment and who are going to criticize that? The criminals? Probably just one lawyer at a time.

Mark Taylor does not have a warm sincere smile. He has a greedy smile. He may the warmest and kindest person in Georgia politics but it does no good if he can’t convey that look to the public.

Mark Taylor will probably get my mote but I think he needs a new advertising agency or a public relation team to get enough to win.
