The Republican State Convention to be held this weekend in Columbus has very little drama attached to it…save the battle between longtime party activists and attorneys Randy Evans and Frank Strickland. Both have been involved in Georgia GOP politics for decades and both are well liked by most in the party.

Elected officials may not want to admit it, but there are some things that they can't do, no matter how big their majority, how many votes they have or how much cash in their re-election coffers. Georgia's economy, which was "too big to fail" for decades, might prove to be one of those things that's too big to fix.
