Sharing two articles here. One written about the Georgia senate race by a former senator. I've had the pleasure and honor of meeting Max Cleland a couple of times. He is a striking character, a very intelligent man, and just generally all around a good guy. He lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam when he tried to throw an enemy grenade from the helicopter he was in. Not someone who would normally have...
