Our new year 2014 ends in an even number, which in modern-day America means two things: Olympics and elections.First come the Winter Games, beginning Feb. 7 in Sochi, Russia, with the world’s best skaters and skiers sliding and schussing over snow and ice for 14 days. Soon after the torch goes out in that Black Sea town, the real bloodsport will begin here as candidates begin jostling for seats in Congress and state and county offices. Georgians are looking at a busy year at the polls.
