Yes LQC, except for the "Mike Sheffield factor." As noted in ajc's Political Insider dated 7-22-04 on the Coalition in the context of Court of Appeals candidate Mike Sheffield. This is why the Coalition is to be feared in judicial races where an "educated electorate" is a rare comomody.
"Sadie Fields, executive director of the Georgia Christian Coalition, sets her organization's value at 204,899 votes -- roughly 16 percent of all ballots cast on Tuesday.
That's the number of votes that Mike Sheffield got in the six-way state Court of Appeals race. Sheffield and Grant Brantley, the unsuccessful candidate for the state Supreme Court, were the only two statewide judicial candidates who cooperated with the Christian Coalition's summer questionnaire. Their glossy photographs appeared on half a million fliers distributed in hundreds of churches across the state.
Brantley had his own problems, but he had his own resources, too, so it's difficult to determine what oomph the Coalition provided.
But Sheffield is a Democrat, who had no money and little other exposure in the campaign, other than the Christian Coalition fliers.
'That's the watermark for me,' Fields said. As of late Wednesday, Sheffield and Howard Mead, a well-funded, former aide to Gov. Roy Barnes, were within dozens of votes of each other, to get into a runoff with first-place finisher Debra Bernes. A recount is anticipated."
