(CNN) – Add Mitt Romney to the list of big name Republicans who are lending a hand to Sen. Saxby Chambliss, as he fights for his political life.
Chambliss is the freshman Republican senator from Georgia who will face off against his Democratic opponent, former state lawmaker Jim Martin, in a runoff election on Tuesday December 2.
Chambliss won a plurality of the vote two weeks ago on Election Day, but Georgia state law calls for the winner to grab 50 percent plus one vote. Do to the inclusion of a third party candidate, Chambliss fell just shy of that threshold, forcing a runoff contest.
Last week Senator John McCain returned to the trail to campaign with Chambliss, just nine days after losing the presidential election to Barack Obama.
Sunday former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination before dropping out in March and backing McCain, campaigned with Chambliss.
Romney will join Chambliss on the campaign trail in Atlanta and Savannah this Friday, according to an announcement today from a spokesman. The spokesman also announced that Romney is contributing $5,000, through his Free and Strong American PAC, to Chambliss to help with the runoff election. Romney's PAC donated $2,300 to Chambliss earlier this fall.
Like Huckabee, Romney was a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination before dropping out in February and endorsing McCain. Both Romney and Huckabee could have designs on making another run for the White House.

Not sure I'd want a loser campaigning for me...but maybe Chambliss needs all the help he can get. At least THAT WOMAN is not ruining his chances!
OH GOOD GOD nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for the warning. I'm cancelling my trip to Savannah. Can't stand the thoughts of those two in that city.
it's funny that the republicans think that they can hire all these big names to try to get Saxby re-elected. I think in this climate of change that people in Georgia are going to do everything to get the democrat into office. If you have Mitt Romney, and John McCain, and Mike Huckabee campaiging for you... isn't that political suicide??? I am surprised Sara "I'm the hockey mom from Alaska who is dating Joe the Plumber" hasn't offered her two cents. Georgians watch out... next on the list... George W.
Why does not he buy the GM or another company? He is a good businessman and it would be a better use of his time.
Due to the inclusion...
georgia vote JIM MARTIN. chambliss doesn't even know what recession means, in his own words.
LOL.... These Republicans just keep getting better.... More losers. Sore losers. Backstabbers. Whiney little schoolgirls....
Yeah, gee, wonder why they are out of power?
What's the name of that movie? Got it, A pack of losers.
I wouldn't buy a used car from this guy.
This should be very helpful, if Chambliss decides he needs a hair transplant.
So funny... every republican is fighting to keep this senate seat republican.. who's next up?
I think Sarah Palin should go up and parade herself next.
Does he think he's HELPING?
Birds of a feather still flock together!
Romney, Huckabee, the only one missing is Rudy G. All losers!
Please Georgians, don't sit this one out!
Shut them down again! There's not one among them worthy of a vote! Ms P. got what she wanted; recognition and money! She wasn't even a Republican! Ha ha ha ha!
They're all bitter and unpatriotic. They can only be patriotic when one of their own is in control! Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep your eyes on voter fraud. We know that people were voting several times each for obama. Some were even proud they voted over and over.
right, 1 thing you need to consider this year....................GOP=political death. No one is interested in the GOP but the few GOP members willing to admit they are republicans. LOSERS!
Mitt since you are in such a great mood, can you donate to my oraganization called the " HELP ME PAY MY MORTGAGE FOUNDATION" . PLEASE!!!!
YEAH WE SEE HOW YOU REPUBLICANS WORK , JUST KEEP GIVING TO YOUR OWN PARTY AND GIVING EVERYONE ELSE THE FINGER! NOT NO MORE, I THINK AMERICA SEES, AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED YOU AND YOUR PARTY CAN GO! AND WE WILL NOT MISS YOU ONE BIT!
McCain still can't get it right. Now Romney and Huckabee too? The GOP has lost its way since Eisenhower's administration. First there was Nixon who said he was "not a crook," then Ronnie who said "government is the problem, not the solution", and McCain who couldn't tell Country First from President First.
NOW the gloves come off...I mean the mittens.
Ever since the Mormon church started getting heavily involved in politics, Mitt Romney makes me nervous. We need politicians who are not biased by religion.
That's cute.....NOT...LOSERS.
Bring him down here – all the Chambliss voters know that Romney is a scary "Mormon" – which may as well be Muslim here in the south...
Martin's chances look better and better!
As a Georgia resident and Obama Democrat, I find it interesting that this is the first time is years that we have received any recognition from any candidate. Maybe they should learn not to take us so for granted. The up side is that we were at least spared the barage of campaign ads. Thank the Lord for small favors.
All you liberals are scared of Romney!! where do you guys get off thinking obama knows anything about the economy? oh yeah, his experience as a community organizer really prepared him for that. Romney is the only guy in the political scene that has a clue!!
Romney/Jindal '12!!
Well That is going to be another seat for the Democrats.
Once again, another story for liberals to punch at.
Hey guys...the election is over!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Yeah! Just what he needs to seal the deal: A sleazy, fast-talking used car salesman with a wooden affect and no appeal to anyone severely lacking artifice.
Maybe Romney can land a decent job for Saxby after he loses...
Mitt Romney...is he a FOP or a Dapper Dan man?
I will be voting again Saxby Chambliss on Dec. 2nd here in GA. Saxby is so sleazy and Martin will get my vote.
Roof Dog Romney is backing the wrong guy this time. Chambliss is a nasty piece of work who is little use to the GOP and none to the citizens of Georgia. Martin's no dynamic speaker or obvious agent of change, but he seems to want the job as opposed to feeling he deserves it.
And Mittens is supposed to help how? This gutless wonder couldn't even manage a successful campaign even with all his "millions" and "executive experience".
Saxby Chambliss is the Senator who earns the least amount of respect from me.
He won by telling Georgians that his Democratic opponent, a triple amputee war hero, was in league with Osama bin Laden.
Let me reapeat that for clarification:
He said that his opponent, a WAR HERO, TRIPLE AMPUTEE
was in league with Osama bin Laden.
2002 was a frightening time to be an American with an intellect.
I am hoping and praying that Chambliss an evil and vile man, will LOSE. He tore apart a WAR HERO, Max Cleland! Chambliss is scum.
PLEASE GEORGIA GET OUT AND VOTE, AND ELECT A DECENT MAN!
VOTE MARTIN!
Osama Bin Ladin helped get Saxby elected in '02, and now we will see if Mitt can do the same. Fear seems to work wonders in Georgia, and Mitt is scary.
What a joke a bunch of losers backing a loser. Romney a member of the cult responsible for bigotry and discrimination. He is a bigger air head than Palin.
We lived just around the corner from Saxby in Moultrie, Ga.
He supports one of the nastiest churches we have ever been to...that congregations hates everyone...from Mexican-Americans, to gays, to telling women to stay at home. They even got rid of a new moderate-forward thinking priest!
Georgia...it's time to get Chambliss out of office.
MITT ROMNEY CAME OUT TO BE THE GREATEST LOOSER OF THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. I BELIEVE HIS POLITICAN LIFE IS OVER. HE SHOULD GO AND FIND ANOTHER JOB OR BECOME A MORMON PREACHER.
AS IT STANDS NOW ROMNEY IS INDEED A POLITICAL LIABILITY.
HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE AND FIGHT FOR LEADERSHIP AGAINST THE OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN.
IT IS ALL OVER MITT.
This run-off will give the people of Georgia a chance to reflect ... and another look at the would-be GOP presidential candidates in 4 years.
It also points out, again, that every vote IS important!
Mitt Romney looks EVIL!
Conservatism has almost destroyed this nation. Conservative leaders have blocked, stalled, gridlocked, or otherwise sabotaged every meaningful and worthwhile reform ever attempted in this country. Conservatism has opposed and delayed, often for generations, the abolition of slavery, equal rights for women, equal pay for women, voting rights for women, equal rights for minorities, equal pay for minorities, voting rights for minorities, the minimum wage, EVERY increase in the minimum wage, workplace safety regulations, the 40 hour week, the 8 hour day, overtime pay, inspection of impoted products, medicare, medicaid, social security, and even health care for children.
We need to drive a stake through the heart of this political vampire once and for all. I hope the good citizens of Georgia will come to their senses and throw this Conservative rascal out.
Let's see–we have Mitten and McCain–all back on the campaign trail to help Saxby Chambliss. Another group of "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" promoting how to run for re-election and not win.
Come on Georgia, out with Chambliss...please..
And we care about anything with Romney why? He's not even yesterdays news. And as a member of the creepy Republicans who flushed our economy down the toilet, he should hide his oddly well-coiffed head in a bucket.
That would be the only thing I needed to vote for Jim Martin.
A vote for Romney is a vote for tanning beds, corruption and satanic worshipping! Who ever he supports, is obviously nothing but a vote for nothing but big business, lobbyists and right wing freaks that want to control every part of our lives!
Let's be honest here – if John McCain had chosen Mitt Romney as his running mate, would the election have been closer? I think so...instead of McCain pandering to the base with Palin, Romney would have been a much more viable VP candidate, especially with the economic issues in the campaign.
He should be making commercials for brooks brothers and selling used cars.
Mitt, we should have had you as opposed to Obama but the American people have their heads so far up their arses that they didnt realize that we needed business sense as opposed to nonsense.
Well,all these politicians who might have their eye on the bigger prize
got to keep their name in the news somehow.Must be a real slow news day though.Wake me when something important happens.
this gives georgians like myself, who voted for chambliss the first time an opportunity to get it right this time by voting for martin.
Please Dems in Georgia – go vote! Its so important to show these idiots the door after 8 years of failure.
Hey mittster how 'bout sending me a couple of mill?
Interesting that in conservative Georgia they have to get McCain, Romney and Huckabee in to campaign for Chambliss. Without the turn-out for Obama, he will probably win. But, if the state is as conservative as they say, it should be no contest. Personally, I'm loving it.
Wow, Georgia hasn't gotten this much national news coverage since Sherman burned Atlanta...or was it when Rockdale County middle schoolers were running rampid with STD"S...LOL. I think i'll go watch lBill Clinton campaign for Jim Martin here tomorrow.
I heard today that there is early voting for this race – that's how Obama can turn it.
As for Romney, he has a striking resemblance to Lon Chaney in "London After Midnight", where the actor used thin wires to hold his eyes and grin open in an eerie frozen position. Romney has no future, like McCain he sold out to the extreme right wing, who don't trust him in spite of it. He has no core constituency outside of Utah. I so hope he and Palin are the ticket in 2012. That would cement the complete destruction of the Reptilian Party it so richly deserves. If the party wanted to drive the country straight off a cliff would it have done anything differently in the past eight years?
He`s a perfect example of Republican "trickle economics" that has gotten us to the sad state we`re in now.--BROKE.-- Except for the " super rich".
Chambliss is a shoo in. Without Obama on the ticket the dems have no chance. This is a chance for any republican to earn easy points.
Romney should donate all his money and then run for presidency.
He will win then.
Let's guess what he'll say. Cut taxes, claim the war in Iraq was a brilliant idea, completely deregulate, blame the media, shout all government stinks, deny global warming, kneel to Lord Reagan, blah blah blah. Yes Romney, let's get this country back to the 1980's.
Mittens must think he's important. Let him look at himself in a mirror and think that way. He's a loser. I heard he spends 20 minutes a day blow drying his hair.
Roll out the losers to bail out another loser!
Remember folks
“We may not be in a recession. I don’t know what that term means.”
Bye Bye!
Loo.....oooo...sss..sss..eeer......rrrrrs..ssssss!!!!!!
Wouldn't be surprised if we see Joe Lieberman down there next!
Oh I forgot the Dems won the election so I guess that
off the table for now. Time to be an Independent again.
I don't know but I wouldn't want to hang out with bunch of loser,John McCain, Mitt Romney and Huckabee. Take the money and run fast.
Saxby's gotta GO!
Senator Chambliss is part of the ugliness that has come out of the republican party since 2000. He defeated his opponent, a triple amputee, Vietnam veteran by painting him weak on terrorism, using a commercial comparing his opponent to Osama Bin Laden. This is the tired, divisive, ridiculous strategy in which the republican party has come to rely on to win elections. This past November 4th's results was America rejecting this vile way of campaigning. I hope the good people of the peach state reject it one more time by NOT re-electing Saxby Chambliss, should change his name to "Shameless".
An Congress woman Bachmann, you may have gotten re-elected barely in Minnesota, but I will not rest until you are booted out of office. Your similar, divisive rhetoric was uncalled for. Why the people of Minnesota's 6th district voted you back in is beyond me. What sad and little politicians you are.
I think Romney is the Anti-Christ, a wolf in sheeps clothing. Keep him AWAY from the white house, please.
Chances are Chambliss is toast, because if the third party voters wanted him in the first place, they would have voted for him. Martin will benefit because everybody that voted for him the first time, will vote for him again, and the vast majority of the third party voters will vote for him, too!
Good riddance to Chambliss, the campauign he ran against Max Clelland was shameless to say the least!
I am a life long Georgia resident and VN vet. Last election Saxby called
Max Cleland un-American, for anybody that does not know Max Cleland is a triple amputee veteran. Now Saxby is looking out for the people involved in a local Sugar Refinery explosion where many people were killed and badly burned. The only trouble is Mr Chambliss is only looking out for the owners and not the workers.
The naive always stand out from a crowd! Obama's intelligence does not suffice to guarantee that he cannot severely screw up and bring this country down to its knees. Intelligence does not guarantee sound governance or we would have scientists and nobel-laurates ruling the world. Sometimes common sense and experience are a better formula for success. As a matter of fact, if Obama was that intelligent, he would have allowed McCain to win and govern over these disastrous times and then he would have tried in 2012 when things have settled and he can more easily guarantee himself a second term.
All those Republican running to Georgia to help their friend Saxby Chambliss, to hold on to the senate seat.
Maybe Saxby need to send for Sarah Palin. Then for sure we democrats will gain another seat.
GOPS you did it to your selves–I just love it–Keep doing what you doing_______Its good for the country.
Hubie Nelson Barton MS
Rubber stamps like Chambliss gave the power to Bush and never said NO to Bush.
It is time to bring change. Georgian should contribute to this move by sending someone to washington to clean up Bush-Chambliss mess.
JIM MARTIN, a Democrat will be a team player , Chambliss will be just anouther hurdle and road block.
Hey, everybody in Georgia, DO NOT forget to vote and remind all relatives , friends, co-workers to vote on DEC 2nd, for Jim Martin.
Who?
Thanks Mitt, for the reminder that you do not have the judgement to be president. Anyone who would, for mere partisan purposes, jump on a sinking ship is not in control of all their faculties. But even beyond that, Saxby is such a prime example of what is so wrong with the pathetic [R] party - for one, thinking its OK to call a disabled verteran a terrorist for political reasons. Mitt is jumping on a sinking ship who's captain is so ideologically blinded that he's actually celebrating the sinking!!
GA has an opportunity to begin to dig its way out of Dumbf-kistan. I hope they succeed.
Mitt Romney is arrogant and looks evil too me!! I really don't trust him.
Feel the love from the Obamanites?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ – Dude is irrelevant.
You left wing nuts on this thread are bunch of hateful idiots.
Stretch-o (hairstyle like Reed Richards who can stretch all over) is going to help a fellow Republican. What kind of good is this guy going to do for Chambliss? Given how all over the field that Romney was, how can this help Chambliss?
Really sad, isn't it? A party with no leadership, with a losing presidential nominee, Mr. hairdo, and the evangelical who called for the NRA last summer with Cheney to point their rifles at Obama's head. Sad, sad. They don't even have enough self respect to go away and regroup and attack on the Dems. I am glad to say we've seen enough of this party in power for the next generation. Maybe by then they can there will be new GOP's who can think for themselves, get new ideas, and stop the negative campaigning. Anybody ever heard of integrity?
Who really cares – he is more out of touch than McCain
Wow, there are a lot of idiots on here who likes to makes useless comments!
Come on down! Welcome to Georgia!!
Welcome to all candidates, pundits, celebrities and MSM air heads alike. Tip well while your here, and please.., don't forget your way back to Oz as sooo many of your fellow yanks seem to have done.
Now that you mention it, he does look kind of evil...
The Democrat is no Progressive but maybe better then Chambliss .
I do hope the Democrat wins in this run off election.
Stevens is going to lose in Alaska and hopefully when people realize Chambliss represents the failed Bush Policies they will vote Democrat .
Chickenhawk Mitt, and the racist Chambliss. The republicans want to destroy our country more than they have for the last eight years. The USA has had more than enough of their sleaze. What are they offering?...more war, less jobs, no healthcare, reward Wall Street robbers?
The rethuglicans just don't get it, people are tired of their lies, smears, negativity and false attacks not to mention hate. And mitt, I wouldn't buy a drop of water from you if I was sstarving in the desert.
I'm surprised Joe Liebermann isn't there helping the GOP!
Same old comments, different story. Not surprising.
Anyone who speaks in Olympic metaphors doesn't belong on the campaign trail much less anywhere near the presidency.
GEORGIA VOTE JIM MARTIN.
Get lost Romney! Somebody is interested in what you have to say. My guess is the undereducated and politcally inept. All others will simply vote for the other party.
OMG, can this guy be more plastic. Stick a fork in it GOP, we're done.
I don't know why everyone is so nervous about the Mormons. They are a credible religion and because Mitt Romney is in politics has nothing to do with his religion. Come on! He is the one that should have been running rather than McCain. Stay out there Mitt. Maybe they'll recognize you and lose their bias against something they don't take time to analize.
No Romney!!! As a 40 year long republican who voted for Obama the republican party needs a complete turn over!!! NO rich spoiled little pretty boys, No stupid women, No corporate lobbiests!! Republicans needs a CHANGE of platform which appeals to the average American!!! That is one of the big reasons Obama won! He did his own laundry and got a cheap apartment in Washington when senator. He drove a used car and went grocery shopping. His first job paid $10,000 a year! AND Obama can relate to middle America!!! Change republicans, change your plateform and who you appeal to!!!
Dear Georgia,
Vote for the Dem, he's got to be better than the status quo.
Obama/Democratic Majority–YES WE CAN.
Romney and Huckabee are old news as far as 2012 or 2016 is concerned!
Romney should just stick to $ business and Huckabee should just stick to show business!
I think Romney will try to run against Obama in 2012. Obama/Biden '12!!!!!
While nobody welcomes a crisis, it is during times of crisis that true leadership emerges – and I believe this is our time.
You will hear more about Barack's plan to lead through these unprecedented times in the coming weeks and months, and I ask you all – Republicans, Independents, and Democrats alike – to support these efforts while Barack and his team continue to look for new and innovative ways to help all Americans and the world at larger to meet these toughest challenges imposed upon us by the Republicans since the Great Depression. Yes we can!!!!
Interesting to see all the GOP'ers trying to get this radical bigot re-elected since he remains one of the few remaining hopes in staving off a Democratic juggernaut in Congress.
Where were they earlier?
Funny to me that this borderline candidate is now viewed as almost a saviour. Says a lot about the state of the Republican party these days.
if the country was stuppied enough to vote for obama. nothing else will surprize me
What he did to a disable veteran King george would branish him from the Kingdom of the Senate. Said enough.
As an Obama supporter, I am glad we did not have to compete against Romney. Mc Cain was an easier target.
since all the losers are parading into town, where's Sarah?
Romney panders more than any other politcian. He's like the Republican John Kerry. It's ironic that he's campaigning in a runoff for an election that required 50% + 1 to secure a win, because when Mitt Romney campaigns in places he only says what at least 50% + 1 of the people there want to hear.
Mitt Romney is a joke. period.
Brenda C..
lol, get over yourself. The Republican party wrote the book on voter suppression and fraud.
Democrats are Americans too... in fact, from the tone of your comments, they behave much MORE like Americans than YOU do.
Sheesh, with people like you on board, no wonder the Republican ship is sinking..... you worry more about the gators than the fact that the swamp is rising.
(sorry about the mixed metaphor)
Mitt Romney is a right wing lunatic who's only goal is to ruin our country by breaking the back of every hard working citizen. He wishes to reward the rich by stealing from the poor.
Mitt Romney sucks, and should be deported to china, where most of his labor force is stationed!
Republicans, the problem to all of our solutions!
Romney didn't do much for McCain and will probably be the same result for Chambliss.
VOTE FOR SAXBY, VOTE FOR SAXBY. GEORGIA IS NOT A DEMOCRAT STATE (REF THE VOTE FOR OBAMA/MCCAIN).
facts are facts November 18th, 2008 1:08 pm ET
What a joke a bunch of losers backing a loser. Romney a member of the cult responsible for bigotry and discrimination. He is a bigger air head than Palin.
--------------------
Cult? Another loser who doens't know what you are talking about.

Karen November 18th, 2008 12:57 pm ET
Ever since the Mormon church started getting heavily involved in politics, Mitt Romney makes me nervous. We need politicians who are not biased by religion.
--------------------
What politician isn't? EVERY one is biased by religion...get use to it.
Would you buy a used car from that guy?
How about a slightly used ethically-challenged blowhard for Senator?
Having had this man as our state governor, anyone is welcom to him, if you can ever discover what he really stands for; his values and ideals are, shall we say, transitory.....
Sorry, Mitt, you're an intelligent and likable guy, but your adherence to Bush-style economics and your support for the vicious lying Chambliss turn me off BIG TIME!
Why is it that a Democrat is a "team player" when supporting his president, but a Republican is a Rubber Stamp automaton without two brain cells to rub together for doing the same thing? The logic escapes me.
Some of the people who voted for Obama in the hope that he can produce on the endless stream of promises he made (without mentioning how he'd make good on them), not to mention an endless stream of misinformation and dodging the bullet on several sensitive subjects seem to fit quite nicely into the 'two brain cell' analogy themselves.
Mitt, you have been great. I voted this morning to Saxby. Let us keep away these liberals. Jim Martin talks about 'failed policies of George W. Bush' and campaigning hard by using Barack's success. He has no chance. We are in a red state here and we will keep it that way.
Those who are outside the state, keep yourself and your politics outside the state. We are a red state and we will overwhelmingly vote for Saxby. Do you know what Jim Martin has done for our state? Nothing. Do not tell us whom to vote. We will vote for Saxby. if you like it or not.
I'm glad that the comment disclaimer to the right of the box I'm typing into uses 'due to' correctly, since the blog post above didn't.
Incorrect: "Do to the inclusion of a third party candidate, Chambliss fell just shy of that threshold, forcing a runoff contest."
Correct: "Also, due to the volume of comments we receive, not all comments will be posted."
Are we all at least high school graduates here? Man...
Back on the campaign trail already? It will be interesting to see if he learned anything from the past election. Like try telling the truth instead of misleading half truths and outright lies that has dominated the Republican play-book for years. However, my guess is that he hasn't learned a thing, but the good news that the American people have! So Mit, continue with the half truths and lies and you'll find your future is the same place you are now, nowhere!
ok–the far right wing religioius nu;ts: you attack catholics,jews, mormons, and all who don't believe your way like dr.??? dodson,hagee,parsley. do your job and put him down now. has anyone but me noticed that 99% of every war is over religion–Jesus did not want that so read your own book.
i can see a broken hair in that picture! .........i'm glad,too.........
Romney I Love You – Glad that you are helping!
You will be the NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA
Good Luck
The Mittster is at it again. Not the guy you want campaigning for you in the south. Last time I checked he was Mormon and the Evangelical community HATE Mormons.
It's wonderful to see the Republican infighting that's going on. Tearing each other apart. Finally, they are the dysfunctional party. Good riddance to these clowns.
I'm from Georgia and let me tell you, the Southern Baptist voters will not take too well a cult member (their judgement of Mormons) telling them how to vote. But of course, Huck the Baptist was just here. Saxby can't cover enough bases. Maybe a Viet Vet hero like John McCain, but he wouldn't come because of Saxby call Max Cleland a traitor. What? John has endorsed someone who would trash a triple amputee fellow hero? The Republican Party is in shambles no matter how you define "is"! btw: Early voting has already started for this race, Go Georgia Voters, Go Early, Go Martin!
"Mitt" Happens
PR... Public Relations.. Or is it; a "Palin and Romney" alliance????
I hope the republican dude loses.
I love the "Republicans are a bunch of sore losers, backstabbers, whiney little schoolgirls" type of comments. Just look at the incessant leftist moaning and whining since Bush first took office, as well as the freaking out by liberals after the marriage defining propositions in this years' elections. The pot calling the kettle black, nothing more, nothing less . . .
Steve @ 2:42pm
It's spelled "stupid".....and I think that says it all.
Having experienced Mitt as the governor of MA first hand and his Gestapo politics, I wish he would just crawl into a hole and stay there.
let him have his say and be gone like all the rest of the has been repubs.
Romney will run and win in 2012. Nobama cannot keep all the promises he made.
G.O. November 18th, 2008 1:22 pm ET
Mitt, we should have had you as opposed to Obama but the American people have their heads so far up their arses that they didnt realize that we needed business sense as opposed to nonsense.
----------------
Did you forget that the REPUBLICAN party decided to go with McCain, not Mitt?
LOL, you can't even remember who it was had their heads up their butts! Typical Republican genius. With guys like you on the Republican team, the Democrats can be in power for a LONG time!
Thanks!
Why would sending a bunch of proven losers help this guy win?
Shouldn't they send some winners?
Oh wait......they don't have any winners to send. My bad.....
Amy:
"The naive always stand out from a crowd! Obama's intelligence does not suffice to guarantee that he cannot severely screw up and bring this country down to its knees."
The worst (and probably least intelligent) president has already done that. No matter what Obama does, he'll be better than his predecessor!
Go Jim Martin, take out another republican from office!
No Moman craziness.
Wow looking at the comments no wonder CNN is in the toilet. You people sure f'd up.
Who cares about the GOP and people like Romney...He and his old school GOP fat cats, pals or croonies, have been found out....They have NO credibility....NONE.They are so far out of the loop, where the country is headed and who's leading it and things like the economy etc., that you really have to ask your self, "Are they THAT Dumb?"
Romney is power hungry....
This guy Romney is one of many Republicans that keep playing the musical chairs.This is time America stops listening to these has been and open up to real change.The Republican part needs to kick out people like Guialini,Thompson,Romney,Huckabee etc. and start developing young blood.This Party is too Mainly white which will not win an election.
This grease head back in campaign trail. For what. He should disappear for a while before surface again may be after eight years.
AFTER 4 YEARS OF OBAMA BREAKING ALL HIS PROMISES AMERICA WILL BE READY FOR JUST ABOUT ANYONE.
THE DEMS WILL DIG A HOLE THAT THEY WILL NEVER GET OUT OF.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS TELL AMERICA WHY OBAMAS PLANS DIDN'T WORK.
YOU CAN ONLY BLAME BUSH FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA IS GOING TO THROW MONEY AT ALL THE BIG COMPANIES,
GIVE MONEY AWAY TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T WORK,
TAX THE WORKING PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS,
AND FINALLY BREAK THIS COUNTRY AND CAUSE A DEPRESSION.
I GUESS THATS CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ALL THE THINGS HE SAYS IS GOING TO
DO WITHOUT TAXING US INTO A DEPRESSION.
SO WAKE UP OBAMA FANS AND GET READY FOR A RIDE OF A
LIFETIME WHICH ENDS VERY BADLY.
YOU WANTED THIS AND YES YOUR GOING TO GET IT!!!!
BUT WHY DOES THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE HAVE TO SUFFER
FROM YOUR MISTAKES!!!!!!!!!
the mere fact that the GA Republican is in a runoff AT ALL, speaks to where the GOP is today.. whats next Mississippi up for grabs.
When it came down to this election it was all about who I could trust. Romney was the man I trusted most. He has proven he can get the job done too. Obama was the man I trusted second. He hasn't been in Washington long enough to be corrupted. So naturally I voted Obama.

You should learn how to spell before you call someone else stupid.
I am interested in hearing anything from anybody in the Republican Party until they admit they are one giant broken mess. The Party is of over-inflated egos, religious nutjobs, and ignorant old white people. They have absolutely no clue, it seems, how out of touch with America they really are; yet here they are already fighting over who will be the next loser for their Party after McCain's loss.
Wake Up Republicans! No one is interested in your same old rhetoric. If you really believe in individual freedom and less goverment then let's hear you; like Den Chuck Hagel, denounce the very small buy loud mouth religious extremists in your Party. Do you not see the hypocrisy of your "Christian" members telling everyone how to live their lives and wanting government to legislate their stilted and nutty beliefs on the rest of us??? Have not noticed that those who scream "Christian values" the most have been the most corrupt and sinful and judgmental of you all??
You need to publicaly denounce these religious nuts and shut them out of meetings where the intelligent ones of you decide what the actual objectives of the new Republican party are going to be. If you do not change and do not get rid of the hypocrites who have destroyed your credibility with the American people, you will continue to be a non-trusted, out-of-touch, hate-inciting and LOSING Party.
The election is over and yet the hatefulness continues. No thanks to anything to do with any of you. I have never seen a Party so self-destructive and so blind to it.
Mr Huckabee needs to be more realistic in his comprehension and understanding that there is a evolution process to all of creation and not a superbrain or entity that has never proven with empirical data of its existence. When he understands this fact he will be a believable human being. No one has ever expired and came back and never will. Understand this fact including Jesus who was only a living being nothing else.
Romney don't plan to run for President the Republicans have shown they are untrustworthy and will say anything to get elected liked you and McCain have done!!
AFTER 4 YEARS OF OBAMA BREAKING ALL HIS PROMISES AMERICA WILL BE READY FOR JUST ABOUT ANYONE.
THE DEMS WILL DIG A HOLE THAT THEY WILL NEVER GET OUT OF.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS TELL AMERICA WHY OBAMAS PLANS DIDN'T WORK.
YOU CAN ONLY BLAME BUSH FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA IS GOING TO THROW MONEY AT ALL THE BIG COMPANIES,
GIVE MONEY AWAY TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T WORK,
TAX THE WORKING PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS,
AND FINALLY BREAK THIS COUNTRY AND CAUSE A DEPRESSION.
I GUESS THATS CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ALL THE THINGS HE SAYS IS GOING TO
DO WITHOUT TAXING US INTO A DEPRESSION.
SO WAKE UP OBAMA FANS AND GET READY FOR A RIDE OF A
LIFETIME WHICH ENDS VERY BADLY.
YOU WANTED THIS AND YES YOUR GOING TO GET IT!!!!
BUT WHY DOES THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE HAVE TO SUFFER
FROM YOUR MISTAKES!!!!
This guy oozes ambition. Frankly, he scares the bejesus out of me.
Please Sarah Palin, support Chambliss! That way, Martin can win easily. Just open your mouth for one second and all the voters will know not to listen to anything you say.
And no, not all of us Democrats are that desperate to get to the 60 mark. We just need Democracy because Bush screwed us of that for the last 8 years.
