And the mayor of columbus, georgia, and senior writer at "rolling stone" and a senior adviser at moveon.org and a pollster, and thank you all for being here. mayor, start with you first, my friend, because the talking point that has come out of the kemp campaign that i would love for you to address is this idea that the civil rights groups suing on behalf of several organizations representing georgia voters are "outside agitators." a phrase that will be familiar to those who study the civil righ...
