Georgia:Sarah Palin in huge boost for Sen. Saxby Chambliss campaign
The Democrats at present hold 58 seats in the Senate. 60 seats would provide a filibuster proof majority and give the Dems absolute power. Victory in the recount in Minnesota and in the run off election in Georgia would provide the necessary two seats and relegate the GOP to relative powerlessness.
A titanic struggle is under way in Georgia. This is a state, which in the normal course of events should go to the GOP. However on this occasion it could slip away.
John McCain , former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney have campaigned for Chambliss. Former president Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore have appeared for Martin.
Between Oct. 16 and Nov.12, FEC filings show that Martin raised $2.4 million to Chambliss' $1.9 million.NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Service Employees International Union, the League Of Conservation Voters Action Fund and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee have sent more than $1.7 million to help Martin.
A new poll conducted for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee by the Mellman Group now shows Chambliss leading Martin 48% to 46%. Thus the election is too close to call.
It is against this background that the entrance of Sarah Palin is highly significant. Palin wowed the conservative base in the presidential campaign and drew massive crowds. The McCain-Palin ticket carried Georgia on Nov. 4 by about 200,000 votes. Her decision to campaign in Georgia for Chambliss will push the GOP machine into overdrive and should help to tilt the balance. Sarah Palin will join Chambliss for four public rallies on Monday, December 1st: 8:30 am in Augusta; 11:00 am in Savannah; 1:30 pm in Perry; and 4:00 pm in north metro Atlanta.

Saxby Chambliss is the better choice for Georgia (Record far superior to that of Jim Martin)
Saxby Chambliss has a strong track record as a Senator and deserves to win the run off. Now that Ted Stevens has lost his Alaskan Senate seat and Al Franken is within two hundred votes of overtaking Norm Coleman with the Minnesota recount yet to even begin, the Chambliss seat is all that stands between the Democrats and 60 votes in the Senate, which would foil Republican filibusters. These filibusters are essential to stymie Crackpot Economics espoused by the Democrats. Lets look at the policies espoused by Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin. Saxby Chambliss is more in tune with mainstream America. Jim Martin is out of touch on the key issues.
Taxes:
Saxby Chambliss is for lower taxes and is the Senate sponsor of the Fair Tax.Jim Martin voted for the largest tax increase in Georgia history - a vote that raised taxes by $687 million and raised the sales tax by 32 percent.
Abortion:
Saxby is pro-life. Jim Martin voted against banning partial birth abortion.Healthcare:
Saxby Chambliss believes Georgians should choose their own doctors. Jim Martin supports national healthcare where the government chooses your doctor for you.
Judiciary:
Saxby Chambliss supports judges who strictly interpret the law. Jim Martin supports liberal, activist judges who legislate from the bench.Energy:
Saxby Chambliss supports increasing America's energy independence by drilling offshore. Jim Martin does not support domestic drilling and will be an ally of Barack Obama to reinstate the ban on offshore drilling.Legislative Priority:
Saxby Chambliss works for Georgia. Jim Martin works for Barack Obama and liberal Democrats.

John McCain campaigns with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Ohio
Here Arnold Schwarzenegger gives a superb introductory speech explaining how John McCain has been tried and tested.
In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger:
"He has spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war. He has been tested under torture,under deprivation, under temptation and isolation.He has served his country longer in a POW camp than his opponent has served in the United States Senate. John has proven what kind of a man he is. We do not have to wonder if he is ready to lead. We do not have to wonder if he is ready to be President of the United States. John McCain is a real action hero."
