Most folks around the country have had a few privileged weeks to recover from the drone of election-year politics. Not in Georgia, where tomorrow’s run-off vote will decide whether one-term GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss can make it two. And the big guns are out — at least on the Republican side.
Sen. John McCain visited the state a few weeks ago to stump for Chambliss, and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the effort today:
In the months and the years ahead in Washington and in every state capital, we must build our case for reform of government with actions and not just words. And thankfully, Saxby has built a record of real achievement in service to his state and to his country. And that’s exactly the kind of man we need in Washington.
Presumedly, Palin was referring to actions other than Chambliss equating a Vietnam War hero with Osama bin Laden, the multiple deferments that kept himself from that war, or his more recent defense of a sugar-company (which also happens to be a large campaign contributor) following a deadly refinery fire.
But of course there’s much more at stake here than just Chambliss’s career.
In the wake of November’s elections, Democrats control 58 Senate seats, including those held by the two independents who caucus with Democrats. If they could pull the Georgia seat from Chambliss, Democrats would be that much closer to a filibuster-proof 60-member majority. (Minnesota, which is in the middle of recounting votes after a tight Senate race, could be no. 60).
Indeed, Chambliss, Palin and other Republicans are framing the Georgia election as a kind-of last stand against a single-party dictatorship.
“We need Saxby because we need checks and balances in Washington,” Palin said. “And we will not have that if Saxby is not reelected, Georgia.”
Chambliss has a lead of 3-5 percent in the polls, according to The L.A. Times. Thirty hours from now we’ll know how accurate they were.

Palin (SarahSixPack.com) still has strong appeal to knuckle-draggers, so she's right at home in the deep South Republican pocket.

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush's Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don't have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn't think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn't that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family's, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don't let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He's not one of you. He is on George Bush's side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss “Let Them Eat Cake” vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don't have to be Saxby Chambliss's victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you
