Ex-Lobbyist in Abramoff Case Loses Georgia Race
By SHAILA DEWAN

ATLANTA, Wednesday, July 19 — Ralph Reed, the former director of the Christian Coalition and a former Republican lobbyist involved in the Jack Abramoff scandal, suffered an embarrassing defeat in his effort to win the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor on Tuesday.

Mr. Reed conceded defeat before 10 p.m., with his opponent leading by more than 10 percentage points.

Early Wednesday, with more than 92 percent of precincts reporting, Mr. Reed’s opponent, State Senator Casey Cagle, led with 56 percent of the vote.

Mr. Reed’s candidacy was viewed as a test of the effects of the Washington lobbying scandal on core Republican voters.

Mr. Reed, the former leader of the Georgia Republican Party, was a close associate of Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist who pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, tax evasion and bribery and who arranged for Mr. Reed to be paid by Indian tribes that ran casinos to coordinate anti-gambling campaigns against competing casinos.

“It’s clear that politicians that put money before their morals should be very worried by these results,” said David Donnelly, the director of Campaign Money Watch, which spent $100,000 to campaign against Mr. Reed.

***I am quite surprised at you aps. Ralph Reed is an honorable man of the cloth. I guess this loss opens up the door for Ralph to gear his efforts for the Republicans on the National scale. I could see it as a huge plus if he were picked as the Veep candidate for the 2008 elections.

Pure scum, wrapped up in his intolerant version of the Bible. I'm surprised anyone could call this poor excuse for a human being an "honorable man of the cloth"

***I'm not surprised that the anti Christ/anti Bible among us would consider any version of the Holy Bible to be intolerant. God bless you Heathen.

Ralph Reed is THE poster child for the hypocrisy of the radical right. Religious in name only.
I agree with PTSD, he would make a fine representative for the current Republican party. However, it would be a shame for true Republicans if they can't get control of their own party back.
