Risky Business

--They may or may not have intended this.  But, by scheduling Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's visit for Saxby Chambliss on Monday, Georgia Republicans may have ended the little remaining chance that President-elect Barack Obama would hit town for Democratic challenger Jim Martin.  Suppose for a moment that Obama did make a sudden visit.  If he did, the national media would turn the Chambliss-Martin race into a contest between Obama's voter turnout magic, and Palin's.  If Chambliss were to win, Obama would not only lose political capital--he'd lose an early one-on-one with Palin, who is a possible White House candidate in 2012.  Obama is very unlikely to risk that.  So the Palin visit may have sealed off an Obama foray--and that's good news for Chambliss.

The GA RNC 's mind is probly not as twisted and Machivellian as y'all . They are certainly inviting Palinidiot to charge up their idiot base. The fact that they feel the need to this this shows that they are running scared. Notice that McCain felt that needed that also and look at where it got him.
The best reason for O to not go to GA is to not tempt fate .You GA crackers are dangerous and armed

There is a difference between an internment camp and a POW camp.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Internment camps for Japanese were in the West because the Japanese were in the West. The government owns lots more land in the West than in Georgia, and moving large numbers of ostensibly subversive people across the country would have been dumb and expensive.

Also, the Japanese could have been lynched in GA. That would not have been a good thing, either.


All of the camps were in the Mountain states or California. Only one was outside this area, in Arkansas.'

The evacuation order commenced the round-up of 120,000 Americans of Japanese heritage to one of 10 internment camps—officially called "relocation centers"—in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas.

So either way these were federal projects?

I have never heard of an Oriental person being lynched in Ga. could there have ever been a few of those in Ca.?

========================
All the relocation camps were built by the federal government.

The scarcity of  Orientals being lynched was almost certainly due to the lack of Orientals. I am pretty sure that this was not any major reason.

They did famously lynch a Jew in Atlanta, and probably more out in the sticks.

But in California , during the same period that Lynching was a widespread and serious problem in Ga., in California where Oriental people were plentifull weren't they haveing a hard time?

There was a Chinese Expulsion Act in the late 1900's. Apparently some exceptions were made. Japanese and Filipinos were mostly brought over to work in agricultural. Japanese were permitted to own property, but were forced to sell it when sent to the camps. They attended integrated public schools. So they were less mistreated than Black people in Georgia, where segregation was enforced and restrictive property covenents could prevent them from buying at least some property.

You mean that Californian Racism was a milder kind?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Wasn't it?

By 1941, it surely was less life-threatening to be Oriental in CA than Black in GA.
