He may have been the last independent candidate I supported over a Democrat, but he lost that election after someone started printing doctored photos of him in Klan robes and claiming that he was a relative of J.B. Stoner (he isn't - I think Doug is actually Jewish), and got elected after the Republican-turned-Democrat got his butt kicked by angry Republican voters and Democrats who'd hated him for years. His first run was basically my introduction to the way the state Democratic Party operated in Georgia. It wasn't two years after that we lost the Governor's Mansion for the first time since Reconstruction.
