Jim Martin, the Democratic candidate in the contentious Georgia Senate runoff, is getting a big Democratic name coming into the state for him: Al Gore, who will be going to Georgia on Sunday, a Martin campaign source confirmed to Election Central.
Martin is still the underdog against incumbent GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss, but this race remains on the table. The runoff election is expected to have very low turnout -- it's effectively the same as a special election in many ways -- and as such will be all about ginning up turnout among the party base.
Bill Clinton is visiting the state tomorrow, and Gore's entrance should make it even clearer just how seriously the national party is taking this race.
It pisses me off to root for Chamblis... but 60 Dems would basically be a blank check and that possibility is getting closer.
Oh great, it’s cold enough to almost snow down here, if Al Gore comes it’s sure to bring feet of white stuff. The hottest hoax around just seems to attract snow. Is someone trying to message Al Gore?
Look for Georgia to get its earliest snow blizzard on record.
Lawd, we don’t need any more air pollution down here...
Say what you want but Taxme Shameless needs to apologize to his constituents first, then maybe I will vote for him.
Heard on the radio this AM that early voting was very heavy. There was also a very high number of requests for absentee ballots comming in fot the runoff.
Not sure what this means, but it seems this election is getting a lot of attention.
