So what's being done to help Jim Martin in the GA runoff?

[Seen the light]

I read that McCain and Palin are going to Georgia to help one of the shittiest members of Congress, Saxby Chambliss. What is going to be done to help Martin?

1. Talk about being "loved to death"...only thing worse than McPalin would be an Air Force One visit

to Atlanta from George for Saxby (what the hell kind of name is that??)

Obama and everyone else ought to regroup in Atlanta ASAP to slam the door on Saxby while they still can.

If he could turn out 5 million people to volunteer for his campaign, he could probably get 100,000 for Georgia for this runoff and easily raise 20 or 30 million dollars as well to stick it to that jackass.

2. Where did you read that?

Either way, we are waiting for an official decision regarding the runoff, and then we will be out canvassing and trying to get the vote out again.

Tell ya what tho, I have a hard time believing Palin will be coming down here right now.

And MCCain? I just don't know. I have heard that the DNC is supposed to be sending heavy hitters, but, I am looking for confirms on that as well.

WE can win this thing if he gets some more donations, provided the Martin campaign is ready to go get the voters that were not voting for Shameless.. that would be the libertarian vote, and I think he can get them.

4. He won't need help with those two. MCain is too old and infirm to be in

politics and Palin not equipped for high-level politics.

As a Brit, I know I'm at odds with people such as Joe Bageant and his anonymous guest-columnist this week, who have perhaps both grown up in the American boondocks - certainly, Joe - but I think Palin, far from being the future of the Republican Party, has been its ultimate nemesis. Joe hasn't said that explicitly but he's been so aware of the difficulties in getting through to many rural Americans for so long, that he seems to me to have become unduly pessimistic even about their potential for gaining some political nous.

From the wealth of information obtainable on DU via all sorts of links in the financial threads, The economic outlook we know is very grim but in Obama I believe you have a President whose efforts to help the average person will be so clear, that the redoubtable hope, faith and the bizarrely anomalous communal spirit, Dmitry Orlov alludes to with understandable admiration will create all sorts of synergies. He radiates a real competency, which is only enhanced by his quiet and confident demeanour.

Well, them's my views, such as they are.
