Georgia Senate Runoff Kicks Into High Gear With New Dem Ad Starring Obama
By Eric Kleefeld - November 6, 2008, 3:58PM


Democratic Senate candidate Jim Martin isn't wasting any time in jump-starting his campaign for the widely-expected December runoff against GOP incumbent Saxby Chambliss, whose potential defeat would be a huge get for Dems.

Martin is already on TV with a new ad that clearly reveals both his runoff strategy and the challenge he faces: He's looking to re-mobilize the black vote and other Obama supporters who came out in such huge numbers, and thus helped him keep Chambliss under the 50% threshold in a conservative Southern state.

The big question here is whether Martin can successfully remobilize Obama's voters -- note the ad's central emphasis on Obama -- by capitalizing on the Obama honeymoon. Martin could also benefit if Obama's huge win has left conservatives so demoralized that they don't bother coming out next time, thus changing the partisan makeup of the electorate in a state that went 52%-47% for McCain.
