Cobb’s party chiefs don’t agree on much, but they do on one point: “Cobb has turned blue like most of the metro area has,” Cobb Republican Party Chairman Jason Shepherd said.
Shepherd uttered these words with much less joy than Cobb Democratic Party Chair Michael Owens, who has long been reticent to say them aloud. “
Cobb turned blue,” he said Wednesday morning. “I think it’s the first time I’m officially actually saying that. Cobb turned blue because we’ve had thousands of people engaged across the county that are for the ideals, values and principles that the Democratic Party is about.”
Or, conversely, it could have been because of that sleazy, lyin' bozo at the top of GOP ticket.
