Please help Jim Martin win a seat in the Senate (Georgia)

We can probably check off Alaska now since Stevens will slide in the polls. Now let's
help get Martin in! PLEASE donate. The race will come down to the 10% of voters who
are undecided. He needs to put more ads on T.V. to convince these voters that he is
the better choice.

3. He's running against Saxby Chambliss (Max Cleland's old seat)
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 07:08 PM by Spider Jerusalem
and he's within 2-4% in the polls.

5. He's only behind by 2 pts.

This is one of the key races we need to win to get to the magic no-filibuster 60 number. Plus Jim
Martin is a great guy and his opponent has been smearing him ruthlessly. He has helped Obama
and vice versa in the polls in Georgia. They can both win this state!

7. It's close, and I am very hopeful for a Martin victory with Obama's coattails.
Here's the pollster.com analysis: http://www.pollster.com/polls/ga/08-ga-sen-ge-cvm.php

I second the OP. Please donate if you can. A little money in this race can go a long way.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

8. He's gone from double digits down to
low single digits down, last I heard. Chambliss has had to participate in a debate he as soon would have rather not and has had to waste money on very ugly and negative ads.

Jim Martin has been added as a topic asked of people that are canvassed by phone. I think he got a big boost by the Obama campaign. I know I made sure I persuaded folks to vote for him.

12. Thanks for the post, I wanted to donate to help Jim Martin. Done !
Saxby Chambliss is his opponent, and he sounds awful. He is from the "vicious campaigning" school. I so hope Jim Martin wins !!! I have family in Atlanta and they say Martin is a good man. Last update I heard, it is now a close race. Any new updates ?

15. don't forget that shameless is a total TOTAL
scumbag...

"Heard on the Hill: Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), in a closed Senate Armed Services Committee meeting: “We need better intelligence. If we had better intelligence in the Civil War we’d be quoting Jefferson Davis, not Lincoln.” (The Senator’s office disputes the word “we.”) … Chris Matthews to George Allen: “Matthews continued, ‘I’m not going to call you Sen. Ma….’ He paused a beat, then continued his joke with, ‘Caucasian.’” "
