GOP Convention Recap

Georgia Republicans united behind likely GOP presidential nominee John McCain at the party’s annual convention this weekend in Columbus. They selected delegates to represent Georgia at the national GOP convention in September.

Elected officials taking the podium said the party needs to return to its conservative roots, focusing on issues like tax, immigration, military might and gun rights.

Perdue urged Republicans to be steadfast, and said recent Democratic wins in the Bible Belt should be a warning around the south and the nation. Then outside to reporters, he said he feels very good about Georgia.
