Voters in GA, remember Chambliss when you get out and vote and see if this sounds like a man you wanting to run your country. The neocons need to be swept up and sent back to Crawford, all of them. McConnell and Chambliss are two more that need to be not forgotten. A vote for Mitch and Cham is a vote for Rummy, W and Chains. Don't forget the rubber stamper in NC, Lizzy. Her and Mitch 'e Poo hadn't never seen a Bush bill they didn't like. I wonder when they ring ole Rummy up if they don't call him by "Big Daddy". Hey Big Daddy, how did Chains say we needed to vote, yes or no? I have my rubber stamp ready.
The Super-Close Senate Race You've Never Heard Of
In 2002, Republican Rep. Saxby Chambliss was running against Senator Max Cleland (D-Ga.), in one of the most bitter races of that election cycle. With 9/11 still fresh, Chambliss ran an attack ad featuring a photo of Osama bin Laden that accused Cleland, a Vietnam veteran and triple amputee, of not having the "courage to lead" on national security. The ad worked; Chambliss won. But even Republicans thought the attack on Cleland's patriotism was over the top: Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) called it "beyond offensive." This year, Democrats are looking to get their revenge by kicking Chambliss to the curb. And they think Jim Martin, a longtime state legislator and former candidate for lieutenant governor, is just the man to avenge Cleland.
Can Democrats really pick up a seat in deep-red Georgia? Until late September, it didn't look possible. Chambliss led by a 17-point margin in a poll released on September 16. But as the economy worsened, Chambliss suddenly appeared vulnerable. Now most polls have Martin within a few points. Martin has yet to show a lead in a major non-partisan poll, but Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com thinks the polls are "lowballing" Martin and the race is closer than it seems:
