GA-Sen: Georgia on My Mind

by: Senate Guru

Fri Nov 07, 2008 at 17:52 PM EST


  • With 99% of precincts reporting, Shameless Saxby Chambliss sits at 49.8% of the vote.  Lookin' like a run-off for sure.

  • Democrat Jim Martin needs your support right away for the run-off sprint.  Contribute to him via the Expand the Map! ActBlue page.

  • Shenanigans in the general election vote count?  Possibly - something's fishy.  Don't let those run-off ballots out of your sight, poll watchers!

  • More details here and here on Saxby Chambliss attacking a whistleblower from the sugar industry, a big contributor to Chambliss.

  • Not only was Chambliss concerned about those "other folks" voting for Barack Obama, but Chambliss' supporters liken Obama's election to 9/11.  Classy bunch.  (What would you expect from the camp that attacked Max Cleland's patriotism while Chambliss did everything possible to avoid military service.)

  • After reading all that, surely you want to contribute to Jim Martin via the Expand the Map! ActBlue page, right?
