Got to work a little late, but boss wasn't in yet. Worked on reimbursements. Staff meeting. Picked Ray up at 4, took him to volunteer at Democratic gubenatorial debate. Drove home, let dogs out, ate supper, made cookies, drove back to watch debate. Fun and inspiring. Any of the five candidates would be good.

Thurbert Baker, black attorney general for 12 years, was a little vague about specifics, and said he supports 2nd amendment rights. Maybe you need to say that to get elected in Ga., but I found it terrifying. The question was about licensed gun owners carrying their guns into church, the parks, etc.

Roy Barnes, former governor. Very knowledgeable and has plans. Experience is good. But he stands by his former opinion about teacher accountability.

Carl Coman, mayor of a small town. Black. Rhetoric about being in touch with people. Promise to teach a class in every county. OK, but who's going to be governing? My least favorite candidate.

DuBose Porter. Legislative leader for 28 years. Knowledgeable. Specific plans, good answers. Inspiring in one minute answers.

David Poythress. Head of National Guard. Other good experience. Not quite as specific and clear. Admirable promise not to draw a salary until Georgia's unemployment is below 7%. I wish a lot of public and private leaders would take voluntary temporary cuts to show they get it.

Came home, ate ice cream, watched TV, went to bed.
