http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/08/07/georgia-republicans-like-paula-deen-more-than-martin-luther-king-jr/ Republicans in Georgia were asked to choose between two public figures from Georgia–TV chef Paula Deen and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr–and Deen overwhelmingly won the popularity contest. According to Public Policy Polling, the celebrity chef has an overall 73% favorability rating with Georgia Republicans; Martin Luther King, Jr. has a 59% favorability among self-identified Republicans in Georgia.

Which one is more popular? Well, that was an easy guess. We could argue contemporary person that put money into the state or something else entirely. But I think the better question to ask everyone is, Who is more important?
It is not surprising knowing the GOP in the South. If they mention that "content of character" quote it certainly means they don't mean it. They are one of the most retrograde folks in Georgia next to the racial hate groups.
