Georgia GOP to Boyd... "No Oath, then no run"

Boyd said he objected to the loyalty oath, which says the signer pledges allegiance to the GOP, because the party is far from perfect and he wouldn't swear to always support the party's actions. He tried for a compromise by producing three variations of the oath, all of which elaborated on the original by declaring his independence from party dogma when appropriate.
As Boyd laid out his documents on a conference room table at the Capitol, party chairwoman Sue Everhart was standing over him. "No," was all Everhart said.
