RANT OF THE DAY: Make that Madam Congresswoman.

Technically, Marjorie Taylor Greene is two elections and around five months away from being the next person to represent Northwest Georgia in Congress. That's a lot of days, especially in political years. But the only thing that can keep her from going to Washington, D.C., in January is Marjorie Taylor Greene.

She carried county after county in Northwest Georgia even though a year ago she called Alpharetta home. Before 2020, did she know the difference between Armuchee and Subligna? Doesn't matter; voters in those communities and many others knew her when they cast their ballots.

Two men could stop her -- fellow Republican Dr. John Cowan, a thoroughbred neurosurgeon who likewise calls himself a serial entrepreneur, and Democrat Kevin Van Ausdal in the Nov. 3 general election. Cowan stands a better chance but not by much.

For him to win, he'll have to totally flip his campaign. She out Trumped him, out gunned him and even embarrassed him on his home turf of Northwest Georgia. He can try to come across as the tough, new sheriff in town but he's running against the 21st Century reincarnation of Annie Oakley and she's about to whiz right past him.

Sure, a lot could happen before Nov. 3 but for right now, get ready to address Marjorie Taylor Greene as madam congresswoman.
