GA-Sen: Chambliss Leads by 6 in New Poll

[ccharles000]

The Mellman Group for the DSCC (8/6-10, likely voters):

Jim Martin (D): 36
Saxby Chambliss (R-inc): 42
Allen Buckley (L): 3
(MoE: ±4%)
Very nice numbers for Jim Martin. That's is what some in the biz would like to call "striking distance".

Chambliss' job approval rating is only 37-38 -- soft numbers for an incumbent.

Yeah, Chambliss has raised a ton of money, but this is a race that the DSCC has their eyes on, and we could see the committee getting frisky here.

wow, an election he won't have to steal or rig

1. Time for Saxby Chickenhawk to start smearing Martin's military service

6. He has already indicated that he doesn't have a problem doing that

2. I suggest this is a GREAT TIME to promote the attached video

of an interview of the CEO of Cyberinth, a co. that tests electronic security systems like ATM's, credit card systems, etc. He actually explaines how the 2002 election was stolen!

Here's the DU link to a video of the entire interview. It took about 4 minutes for me to download it, but it was well worth the effort! If we could get this publicized, especially in Ga., Sax would be history!

3. That's a huge number considering he just won a close race in a runoff last week.

Many of those that voted against Martin might still be bitter about their candidate losing.

4. In GA pre-election polls are absolutely meaningless.

In 02, Barnes was up 11% four days before the election and lost by 5%. Cleland was up by 5% and lost by 8%.

It certainly hasn't gotten harder to manipulate the Diebold machines in 6 years.

5. Chambliss is a fucking asshole

and a dink

:puke:
