Grayson D. discussed Viral Video and Jon Flack called in and conversed on the Wyc Orr movement.

This episode focuses on the heated final days before the special election in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, where candidates scramble to define themselves through TV, radio, direct mail, and online media. Hosts David, Tim, and Bernita break down each contender’s strategy, effectiveness, and reach, noting how the best-funded candidates—Jim Whitehead and James Marlowe—dominate the airwaves.

Whitehead’s ads receive the most attention, with TV spots emphasizing his connection to the late Congressman Charlie Norwood and endorsements from Norwood’s wife and Larry Munson. While the hosts find the strategy effective, they also note drawbacks, including Whitehead appearing older and overly reliant on Norwood’s legacy. Marlowe’s media is judged less effective: a still-photo TV ad lacking his own voice, a vague radio message, and a well-intentioned but visually cluttered mailer focused on Iraq. The hosts agree that his messaging lacked cohesion across platforms.

Other Republican hopefuls—Bill Green, Paul Broun, Mark Myers, and Libertarian Jim Sendelbach—use viral videos or issue-heavy online content with mixed results. Green’s son produces a surprisingly sharp attack ad on Whitehead, while Myers leans heavily into 1980s-era GOP nostalgia and Reaganism. Sendelbach’s Energizer Bunny comparison and small but active Libertarian following earn both laughs and mild concern.

As the Democratic Party of Georgia ramps up GOTV efforts across Athens and surrounding counties, the hosts close with detailed election predictions, all forecasting a runoff, with Whitehead leading and Marlowe securing second place.

New DPG ED Matt Weyandt was interviewed on the show.
