Say What You Want…But Roy Barnes Has More CLASS Than Nathan Deal

From Jim Galloway’s Political Insider column:
When newly re-elected state GOP chairman Sue Everhart arrived home from an out-of-town trip on Wednesday, she found a sizeable bouquet of flowers on her porch.
There was a card attached, which read: “I couldn’t beat Nathan Deal, but you did.†It was signed, “Your friend, Roy.â€
Democrat Roy Barnes, defeated by Deal last November in an attempt to return to the Governor’s Mansion, confessed to the delivery – which followed Everhart’s defeat of Tricia Pridemore, Deal’s choice, in the race for chairman at Saturday’s state GOP convention.
“I admire Sue’s courage, and she has been a mainstay in our community,†Barnes said of his fellow Cobb County resident.
Everhart confirmed delivery Friday afternoon. “I will not deny it. I tried to call him and thank him,†she said. But if he truly, truly liked her, the former governor would vote Republican, Everhart said.
