Rudy Giuliani will hit the campaign trail with Saxby Chambliss in Georgia on Tuesday.
Rudy Giuliani will hit the campaign trail with Saxby Chambliss in Georgia on Tuesday.

(CNN) – Add Rudy Giuliani to the list of big name surrogates who are making campaign cameos in the last remaining Senate election this year.

The former New York Mayor and Republican presidential candidate teams up today with Saxby Chambliss at campaign events in Woodstock, Georgia.

Chambliss is the freshman Republican senator from Georgia who is fighting to keep his seat. He faces a runoff election next Tuesday against Jim Martin, a former Georgia state lawmaker.

Chambliss won a plurality of the vote on Election Day three weeks ago, but Georgia state law calls for the winner to grab 50 percent plus one vote. Due to the inclusion of a third-party candidate, Chambliss fell just shy of that threshold, forcing a runoff.

Giuliani is the latest former GOP presidential candidate to stump with Chambliss. Sen. John McCain campaigned with Chambliss just nine days after losing the presidential election to Barack Obama. Nine days ago, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who ran for the Republican nomination before dropping out in March and backing McCain, campaigned with Chambliss. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney teamed up with Chambliss on Friday. Romney ended his presidential bid in February and backed McCain.

Giuliani dropped out of the Republican presidential race in late January and immediately endorsed McCain. Giuliani, Huckabee and Romney could all make another stab at presidential politics in 2012.

Martin is also getting some major-league help. Last week former President Bill Clinton campaigned with Martin in Atlanta and Sunday former Vice President Al Gore teamed up with Martin.

Do these big name surrogates make a difference?

"Generally they can help boost turnout, because of all the media attention. Turnout in a runoff election is often very low compared to a presidential election and each side needs to get as many of their voters to the polls as possible," says CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider.

Democrats have so far picked up seven Senate seats in this year's election, with the Republican seats in Georgia and Minnesota still undecided. In Minnesota, freshman GOP Sen. Norm Coleman topped his Democratic challenger, Al Franken, by just 215 votes, triggering an automatic recount which will extend into December.

If Democrats take both remaining contests, they'll reach their pre-election goal of controlling 60 Senate seats, which would be a filibuster-proof majority. A filibuster is a move by the minority party in the Senate that basically brings the chamber to a standstill by blocking votes on legislation.

Christine   November 25th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Sorry Rudy. Even though you're a Yankee fan- I lost all respect for you after the election.

Gary   November 25th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

I wonder if he'll be wearing Palin's hand me downs.

mike NY   November 25th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

to PG – reading all this it sounds like "hate" never left. How can it "be back"

jenny   November 25th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

WHY IS GEORGE W BUSH NOT CAMPAIGNING FOR CHAMBLISS? HE GAVE A SPEECH THIS MORNING. OH! I GUESS HIS CREDITABILITY HAS GONE TO ZERO. COULD YOU IMAGINE RUDY GIULIANI,SARAH PALIN AND GEORGE BUSH ON THE PLATFORM TOGETHER? IT MIGHT BE A COMEDY OF ERRORS.

Phil in KC   November 25th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Unlike Palin, Rudy could make a difference. Because he appeals to moderates.

john   November 25th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Moose Hunter Barbie and 9-11 Rudy together in Georgia. I suddenly feel the urge to donate money to the DNC in Georgia although I live in Missouri.

If we could only get those 2 to breed we'd get someone even dumber than George Bush.

w.l. jones   November 25th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

We still speak the King language in Georgia naturally we love you but keep a arm lenght when it come to our State politic.

BOY THAT OUGHT to be great.rudy palen.both in georgia at same time.god bless georgians.chambless is done for sure.you are judged by friends you keep. GO RUDY AND PALEN.TALK ABOUT SICKENING

JT   November 25th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

I needed this laugh. Chambliss might as well have Bush help his campaign. Matter of fact, Giuliani might do a good as a job that Swarzenagger did for McCain.

LP   November 25th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Most of the people who will be voting for Saxby don't give a crap about who is coming to show support for them. They have already made up their minds. Besides, ignorant voters that really only cared about Obama winning will have little care of who wins this one. They won't even waste their time going back to the polls. Hopefully it will be a landslide win for Saxby.

Ken Pittsburgh   November 25th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

So Mayor noun,verb and 911 is still around speaking has wrongly has he ever did before

Greg, San Francisco, CA   November 25th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

What? No Zell Miller?

Joe   November 25th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

He did so well as an attack dog for the GOP (what was the convention speech all about?), I wonder what role he'll play in GA? The GOP brand is severely damaged and these folks that they keep saying will head to GA (Rudy, Palin) were all "damaged goods". If I were running this GA race (for either candidate), I'd be looking for new faces.

Steve, New York, New York   November 25th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Let me guess – what will Rudy say?
9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 – oh, and anyone who is not a pro-Likud extremist must be an anti-semite!

Franky   November 25th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Who cares about Rudy. I was the one that told him that he cursed the Yanks and the RNC but he didn't believe me. At least Hillary knows the answer to 2+2…

ShawnT   November 25th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Yea right. Why don't you go around doing what you do best, Guiliani? Womanizing and spreading anti-Democrat propaganda.

proud army and navy mom   November 25th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

why????????? who cares………

Milhouse van Houten   November 25th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Another tired old hack that should just gracefully fade to the shadows
of obscurity.If the GOP thinks anyone but the hardliners are going to accept the re-cycling of the same old characters,think again,a new day has dawned.

Beau   November 25th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Let's hope the GOP will use the same playbook that they used in the Presidential election …. including the same speakers …… like Giuliani. His multiple marriages ought to play well in the Bible belt ………

JIMBISCIELLO   November 25th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

RUDY
NADA ZILCH NO WAY
DOES HE HAVE HIS WANDERING EYE ON PALIN NEXT.
YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF BILL CLINTON ALL YOU WANT BUT RUDY BOY IS NO SLOUCH WHEN IT COMES TO CHASING WOMEN.
CAN WE ALL SAY BERNARD KERIK???????

Ex-Republican for Obama   November 25th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Rudy, the man who let his city get attacked! With men like him, who needs terrorists!

jt   November 25th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

You again Rudy, just disappear…you're such a joke…

by all means. dont ferget to pack ur stockings for the trip!

chuck   November 25th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Who said Rudy Giuliani Is a big name surrogate? The only thing big about Giuliani is his mouth which is like a GARBAGE CAN. The RNC has NO CREDITABLE MESSENGER RIGHT NOW SO I'M EXPECTING FACTS TO BEAT OUT WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING AND THE TURKEY KILLER SARAH PALIN.

Michael M, Phoenix AZ   November 25th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Another "lost cause" trying to help another "lost cause"…..Rudy, you have outlived your usefulness.

CC PENNES   November 25th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

HIM AND SARAH TOGETHER O.M.G ! A SUNAMI DISASTER

deb   November 25th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

I can't stand Rudy or Sarah. Both are jokes!

Remy   November 25th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

What the hell this Rudy did to Americans? He was hanging in Reagan office. His achivement was sending hundreds of NY fire fighters to death for no reason.

I am so sleepy when I see this guy in any news.

Mike   November 25th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Rudy campaigning for Sexby? What's next, Palin? Oh wait. She's on her way to save the day, like she did for McCain.

Former republican army wife   November 25th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

I used to live in NY under Rudy's rule. A lot of people don't realize, but before 911, us NYC people HATED Rudy. He was a miserable mayor. 911 was his one and only claim to fame. During his mayoral campaign against Dinkins in NY Guliani refused to admit to everyone he was even a republican. Also Kerik was Gulianis man, and we all know how Bernie Kerik turned out!!!!! Guliani is a JOKE. Believe me, I lived in NYC when he was mayor, I actually voted for him, big mistake that was!

sick n tired   November 25th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Why does the GOP keep putting these CLOWNS out there on display to represent them? This is pathetic! The Republicans are a joke to the 10th power!!!!!

BS not Maverick   November 25th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

He will help as much as he did McCain!

CanIcallyouJoe   November 25th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

Is he going to announce to the crowds how he didn't do squat to the security of New York after the 1993 WTC bombings?

barbara miller   November 25th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

The Maverick, Rudy and Sarah – all of the sleazy politicians are coming to town to aid another sleazy politician who is running shameful ads. They should be punished, once again, with a big Martin win! When will they ever catch on?

Rachel   November 25th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Another washout in the GOP. They wonder why they lost. Guess I'll stick to being a Demo for awhile longer. He going down and maybe rub elbows with Palin? Someone must have slapped them with a dumb stick. Georgia….lock your gates.

Sir Nose   November 25th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Yeah, cuz he worked wonders for McCain…

No wonder the party is going down the toilet. we love watching train wrecks. We can't get enough scandal. Media for the lowest common denominator.

Hasn't this election been enough of a lesson to the party?!?!?! Can't we find some real, sincere, honest Republican leaders to represent us? At least one who can string a coherent sentence together.

HOT SARAH in HOTLANTA!!

California Gold   November 25th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Guiliani think everyone is as enamored with him as he is. Big time loser who will go to Georgia to "help" Chambliss. Just what Chambliss needs: another GOP who can't win an election "helping" him.

paul oregon   November 25th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

the gop. is the new comedy channel.

Clint, Wa.   November 25th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

With Palin and Guillani campaigning for him, he will definitely lose.

THis guy reminds of "Walter" the puppet with Jeff Dunham.

Clint, Wa.   November 25th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

C W   November 25th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

I used to respect Guiliani until everything coming out of his mouth was "9/11." He's proven to be just another Republican hack, compromising his values and trading of fear, sorrow and tragedy.

What a pathetic political party!

thebdb   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Why would anyone want this loser to campaign for them. He is a nasty divisive character that should just appear.

Maybe he will mention 9/11 a few times to up his royalty check.

Sharon Kitchen   November 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

I do not think little ga can take all this……….the Morman, the Huck,the turkey/wolf pup/moose killer………..now the cross dresser……………………………………come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Chambliss sure must be worried to have this cast of "strange" people to "'come on down".

Go Martin.

Jodi K   November 25th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

This clown lost every ounce of my respect at the GOP convention this year. Making fun of community organizers when they have done SO MUCH in NYC was appalling. All to try and make Obama look less substantial, but all he did was make himself look like an elitist jerk who cares nothing for anyone who isnt a wealthy white male

Kevin   November 25th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Rudy will realize just how much people like him and his hate speeches when he decides to run for NY Governor.

ladymary   November 25th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Rudy may be irrelavent but at least he can speak in complete sentences. Once Palin gets down there he is FINISHED!

N. S. Huntsville, Al   November 25th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Another nut that flew the coop. Rudy your nothing either people are going to vote for who they want no matter what. The big election is over and that was for The President, all this other really don't matter to people, the democrats have 58 right now.

donna   November 25th, 2008 11:59 am ET

From sea to shining sea….Palin & Guiliani…one freak to another….talk about blatant self promotion disguised as party unity. Couple of whackjobs.

ladymary   November 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET

Rudy may give a "bump", but Palin will grind him into the dirt! I don't think there are many Moose down there.

VernisRobertson   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

I wish that the Republican party will set back for a moment and regroup . Becasue right know they just throwing things out to see what would work. Rudy and Sarah is not the answer.

elsie   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Stay away you freak. We do not want you here. Chambliss is a nasty racist bigot. He needs to go. Why does he refuse to testify after being suponeaed in the sugar plant explosion? All Georgians, please go vote on December 2nd.

VernisRobertson   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

Andy   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Amazed that so many people have all lost track of the central theme of the Obama campaign, INCLUSION. You supporters of his that sit here and spread your hatred are either not interested in what Obama wants to do (unify), or you are just hate filled people who are actually the root of everything wrong with this country. If you have nothing good to say, shut up and go away if you truly care about this country. If not, consider yourselves part of the problem.

beevee   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

One loser campaigning for another loser. Laughable.

Three buzzards on the Roof   November 25th, 2008 11:49 am ET

All the nails for the coffin have come to Georgia.I love the gasping sound, as the Republicans watch as they lose the Senate for good.

Stop the nonsense   November 25th, 2008 11:47 am ET

Please go Giuliani and remind the good people of Georgia how far the Republican Party has fallen. His RNC speech was as dishonorable as Chambliss' treatment of a war veteran.

Please vote Martin…hands down.

Hilary   November 25th, 2008 11:46 am ET

$10 he'll find a way to fit 911 into it.

Jazz   November 25th, 2008 11:44 am ET

You can stay home also Guilani. You and Sarah just want publicity so you can run on the Repub ticket.

Brian in the ATL!   November 25th, 2008 11:43 am ET

It will probably be a tremendous mistake for Chambliss and the GOP to allow this Yankee to go into parts of rural GA and campaign for Senator Chambliss!

J. Dean   November 25th, 2008 11:42 am ET

"BIG NAME SURROGATE" ? THIS IDIOT, CALLED RUCY GIULIANI, SHOULD BE CALLED TRIPLE LOOSER.
1- RUDY LOST HIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTRION BID.
2-RUDY'S ENDORSED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LOST HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID.
3-ALL THOSE WHO RECEIVED RUDY'S ELECTION ENDORSEMENT, FAILED TO BE ELECTED. CHAMBLISS'S ELECTION BID WILL END UP WITH THE SAME DESTINY.
A FRIENDLY ADVICE TO LOOSER RUDY GIULIANI FROM A LIFE TIME REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBER: RUDY FORGET POLITICS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. RETIRE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU WERE NOT BORN TO BE A SMART POLITICIAN. GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS: JUST RETIRE.

Beverly, NYC   November 25th, 2008 11:41 am ET

Gee Rudy and Palin,desperate much Saxby? Well I guess Rudy has some appeal to the back woods hicks since his first wife was his cousin.

Name N.   November 25th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Rudy: I think Sax can handle 9/11!

Kelly   November 25th, 2008 11:38 am ET

I agree with some of the comments above. Do the republicans realize that they lost the presidential race using these same tactics? For those of you who don't live in Georgia, be thankful becuase the tv ads are ridiculous.

Same old song, different day: Martin will raise your taxes; Obama, Pelosi & Reed will have complete control to do what they want; don't let the Dems take over government and destroy this country; vote for Chambliss because he will be one to stop big government, etc., etc.

The last time I checked, the american people wanted and voted for something different and not necessarily one side fighting against the other in Washington. And I hear Gov. Palin is on her way to town.

Losers   November 25th, 2008 11:38 am ET

Rudy is a total loser. Palin is a moron. Wow…the Republicans have really great new leaders……. Why not have George W show up too, afterall he will be declared yet another republican hero once out of office.

both loosers

I can't stop laughing!   November 25th, 2008 11:34 am ET

"It is amazing the mean-spiritedness of the GOP "winners" on this forum. Can't you just be happy with your loss?"

Yes, Obama supporters do work. Yes we can! Yes we did!

Vote Martin! Don't let Chambliss spill more hate in our state!

Anonymous   November 25th, 2008 11:30 am ET

Guiliani 911 and you guessed it "you betcha The Alaskan turkey with that bridge to nowhere " arriving to put Chambliss in a chamble .
Can't stand either or .

Mickie   November 25th, 2008 11:28 am ET

So let me see, we have two losers running to Georgia to rescue this guy, Rudy and Sarah (what a team!). That should really seal Chambliss' fate, or at least I hope so.

Brian MacDougall   November 25th, 2008 11:26 am ET

Oops, Chapman, spoke to soon. Heeeereeeee comes Sarah!

Bill NY   November 25th, 2008 11:25 am ET

This is a person with no morals whatsoever, who has no right to run for or endorse anyone. His law firm represents a major flaw in the bailout process where firms like his stand to make hundreds of millions from companies seeking bailout money. This money should be for bailing out the citizens of this country and not making Rudy richer.

Old Dominion   November 25th, 2008 11:23 am ET

so Rudi and Palin are going to GA to campaign on behalf of Saxby Chambliss, eh?

Im sure a sanctuary mayor who is pro-choice will really help his cause down there. Its time Jim Martin took back the seat Chambliss shamfully stole from Max Cleeland.

Make it stop!   November 25th, 2008 11:23 am ET

Mr 911, go pick up your pal Sarah and the two of you can dream of what it would have been like to win, cause you're both loosers!!! Please go away, please!.

With Palin already headed to help out, who needs more of the same BS.

Do you liberals ever get tired of hating and personal attacks. I truly feel bad that you can go through life looking for other people to dislike, impune, and blame for your troubles.

May God bless you all

DJ in TX   November 25th, 2008 11:12 am ET

I don't like Rudy much, but this is a much better surrogate than Gov Palin. He at least can appeal to some independents.

At any rate, both should talk about Sen Chambliss vs using fear politics of the 60 seat fillibuster proof Democratic Senate. I just don't think that will work this time.

Woodman   November 25th, 2008 11:12 am ET

Hmmm….. Can Rudy really connect with the average Georgian? Why am I having trouble with that picture?

Kim   November 25th, 2008 11:09 am ET

Boy, if they want to kill the Republican in Georgia's chance of winning, they're doing a good job: 1st Palin, now Rudy, why don't they send "W" to finalize the deal?

Shrimp Barnicles, NJ   November 25th, 2008 11:09 am ET

Rudy, the red nose rain dear. He had to eat his own anti- Obama convention speech after Obama won.

He still had the guts to show his losing face in Georgia.
I don't even know why he keeps taking credit for 9/11. I still don't know exactly what he did.

As a New Yorker….This man needs to go away! It really creeps me out that he was trying to be President of this country. He is a racist (search Eleanor Bumpers), he is an adulterer, and he was married to 2 different women that are his cousins! He did nothing in NY during the 9/11 attacks except tell the people who were already running away, to run away (Great idea Rudy!) two hours later. He makes my skin crawl!

Mudila K   November 25th, 2008 10:59 am ET

Do people still believe in Rudy? I always see a Buffoon (Clown) in him more than what you are elevated him for. For sure he was a mayor and let just say he lives more in the past than anyone I have known in my life. It is typical of him and their circuit function Hannity on Fox. Rudy and those people do a great disservice to a great portion of the American people. I have never seen such a group of ruthless opposition people who only focus on "Defeatism". I am glad Obama use the formula that will soon put some of those people out of nonsense. I would highlight it as a Buffoon is back on the Circus. And I will end this by saying what a Boor Rudy?

Rudy … I have ZERO CREDABILITY … Guiliani.

The party will never advance if it keeps latching on to the same failures .. when will the GOP learn?

They might win this senate seat in Georgia but Rudy won't be the reason. He is a detriment to the national party.

Many Evangelicals have been saying America hs strayed away from its moral values . Our culture has not only turned to more materialiism , hedonism , violience and sensuality. It is on the wrong track and our young people are following what their peers and the entertainment media keeps feeing them.
Let America have a revival and turn to GOD.

I am glad to see Rudy Giuliania and Sara Palin are emerging as stars in Republican party, that will take care of the party faster than anything else.

Rich   November 25th, 2008 10:50 am ET

God bless you southern voters for seeing Rudy as he truly is. As a life long New Yorker we don't want him back here either. He will loose again in a few years when he runs against Gov. Patterson. People here can't stand him and I'm one of them.

He takes credit and money for 911, being the Mayor was his job, and that's what he was expected to do. He openly bashed Clinton for his affairs, but he had TWO affairs on the city's first lady, Donna Hanover, he had a press conference to say he was divorcing her WITHOUT telling her. He took credit for cleaning up the city when all the community policing programs were put into place BEFORE he got elected by Mayor Dinkins. He put the city's command center in 7 World Trade when he was told NOT to, and it fell down with the rest of the buildings.

I'm GLAD this guy is a republican. :)

Steve, Jacksonville, Fl.   November 25th, 2008 10:50 am ET

How many more losers will the RNC send to Georgia to try and prop up Chambliss? First McCain, now Giuliani. Jim Martin has to be loving this.

ephraim   November 25th, 2008 10:47 am ET

ever since the convention speech he gave, america lost all
respect for this man. he is bitter, sarcastic and utterly irrelevant.

Otto   November 25th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Hey folks, remember what Rudy said before the presidential election. He said Barack Obama is only a community organizer. I say he is right! But the organizer out organized him, John McCain and the whole lot.

Hey Rudy, you will never gain a seat in New York again and stop thinking about running for Governor.

I don't understand how a former mayor who milked a national tragedy for his political benefit and then was pummeled in the primaries is even relevant anymore.

I'm a Democrat and I feel bad for the Republicans at this point . I want to see them get their party updated and back on track. And it's not going to happen until someone tells clowns like Guiliani to sit down.

Mike in GA   November 25th, 2008 10:42 am ET

Suxby is a joke, and that coming from a right-leaning Georgian.

He calls himself a "fiscal conservative": like most if not all neocons, Hucktardians, etc., he's a big spender, he just prefers to borrow the $ for his spending, vs. raising taxes.

I opted to sit out the runoff, neither Suxby nor Martin is "fiscally fit" enough to earn my vote.

"Truth" is right on that one. Do we really need a guy named "Saxby" remaining in the Senate anyway?

Do any Obama supporters actually work? Apparently you think most of the country is unemployed . . .

Luke Brown, Charleston SC   November 25th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Martin must be paying Rudy to campaign for Chambliss.

A few questions questions for Senator Chambliss:

Will Rudy be bringing his third wife to campaign with him?

Will the taxpayers of Georgia have to pay thousands of dollars for his security detail if he decides he wants to visit a paramour while he is in Georgia?

Will Guiliani be dressing up in drag?

Are Rudy's kids — who are now grown — speaking to him again or are they still outraged over the shameless way he treated their mother before he threw her out?

Do you think Rudy's personal values are acceptable to most Georgians?

ANDY DAAS   November 25th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Vicki5   November 25th, 2008 10:37 am ET

Honestly, I think the people who witnessed his speech at the RNC saw Giluiani make a fool of himself. How could he help Chambliss when his rhetoric was ugly, mean, divisive, and ignorant. He clearly does not know what the republicans stand for either. He should go away and learn what a community organizer is also. He can just watch if he wants.

WAW   November 25th, 2008 10:35 am ET

All these Republican "names" coming to Georgia to support the biggest scum bag that ever was. This is the draft dodger that called Max Cleland, a triple amputee Viet hero, a traitor. If Chambliss is what Republican leaders think this country needs, then the GOP is Gone with the Wind (as in hot air).

ran   November 25th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Keep people like Guiliani in the Republican party and they will continue to lose which is fine with me. He, Huckabee and Palin are dividers and their ideologies will never unite us.

Anonymous   November 25th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Honestly, I think the people at the Republican convention (not to mention the rest of us watching) witnessed Giluiani make an absolute fool of himself. I don't see how that is going to help Chambliss because what people saw from Giluiani that day was ugly, mean, divisive, and ignorant. He clearly does not know what the Republican's stand for either. He should go off and learn what a community organizer is. He can just watch if he wants.

Not a Democrat alive that would support him after that performance. Not even a die hard New Yorker

Rudy, once Americas Mayor, now the laughing stock of the republican party.
He shamed himself during the elections, using 911 to further his career and making fun of community service. He was a talking head for John McCain…spreading the lies and innuendo and making himself look like a complete idiot.
I have NO respect for Rudy at all, and wish he would just go away.

Boise, ID   November 25th, 2008 10:26 am ET

Lord, please bless the intellectually less fortunate souls that believe in trickle down economics. Grant them enough intelligence to see through the fear tactics of those that seek to use them for their own gain. Please allow them to see that you cannot blame Clinton for the eight years after his presidency (Future) while blaming the Democratic Congress for our current situation (Present) and Obama for the two months prior to his Presidency (Past). Please show them that people with different colors on their skin are every bit as good if not better than themselves. Grant them the humility to realize that they have no right to project their own flawed morals upon others that seek to share their lives together in peace and tolerance. Show them that you cannot drill for more oil and protect our planet at the same time. Lord, please raise the price of gas continuously until we finally find something else. Please teach them how to spell so they don't look so dumb when they try to respond to this.

Rudy Giuliani is a self serving ego-maniac who will do and say anything to get the publics attention. Actually I take it back. He's just a sick old man who you can lump with all the other losers. Just take a look at the linup, There are no 'Talk Show' Democrats for example. the real hate mongers are all republicans. Please go and live in Alaska Rudy with the other sad losers

Go home, Rudy. No one gives a rat's behind what you think.

Mike in WI   November 25th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Rudy's relevence was demonstrated in the presidential election. Chambliss should tell him to stay home.

sam   November 25th, 2008 10:16 am ET

Ok. so chambliss is using "big name surrogate" rudy to boost turnout because of media attention. which begs the question: why is the media paying attention to that loser. the media is keeping is celeb status alive after the public roundly rejected him. This is why I friggin hate the media.

Tim   November 25th, 2008 10:15 am ET

If I were Chambliss I would not let Guiliani anywhere near Georgia unless he needs a monkey for his organ grinder.

ndubi   November 25th, 2008 10:10 am ET

Why to the repugs have such a short memory? The reason they lost to Obama was because of bringing into their campaign spent forces such a Giulian. What new is he going to tell Georgians when he himself dropped out of the presidential race even before it started?. In fact he is going to ruin Mr Chambliss' chance of winning and give victory to the Dems who are now riding high after handing their perennial rivals a thorough bashing.

Chapman   November 25th, 2008 10:09 am ET

This is just awesome. The Republicans are running the exact same playbook right now in Georgia that just lost them the Presidency. The only thing missing is Palin… Chambliss is representative of the slime the GOP has become. After what he did to Max Cleland, he deserves to go down in flames…

SD   November 25th, 2008 10:02 am ET

We have had a parade of loosers here in Georgia lately, to support the biggest liar and looser of them all, Saxby. Does that make Georgia a bunch of loosers to?, yea I think so!! Not to worry Saxby will probably win this one, he is a "Good Old Boy". Which is why our state ranks near the bottom in education and the near top for poverty. No change here ——

I wonder if this unfaithful mob-connected 9/11-bragging former mayor former candidate has-been will actually help the GOP candidate.

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ   November 25th, 2008 9:55 am ET

What can Giuliani do for the Republican? Not much really since there was no real connection between Giuliani and the Senate (especially this Senator since he wasn't in the Senate until after Rudy left being mayor). The only thing that connects them is being Republicans and having no clue as to what is going on.

SKI   November 25th, 2008 9:51 am ET

The Biggest Political Comedian is BACK!

The man who benefited by the National Tragedy and a Shameful Character is coming out to stump for Republicans is so funny. One way it is good for the country to wipe out the Republicans and put them away from power for a long time.

No fear mongering and no solicitation of religious frauds and NO wars on false pretense. This country need a new direction to march forward into the 21st century and not to back track to 18th century.

Thank God we got a President who will do what is necessary.

James   November 25th, 2008 9:51 am ET

Rudy Giuliani has no business stumping for any candidate. He was political toast by running a bad campaign for president. As mayor of New York City, he ran a paranoid administration with an atrocious record of race relations. He took credit for the drop in crime, the seeds of which were laid down by his predecessor, David Dinkins. On September 11, 2001, he did a good job keeping New York safe, but that was his job as Mayor. His inflated ego knows no bounds.

Rick S - WA   November 25th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Bill   November 25th, 2008 9:48 am ET

Is it still possible there are people outside of New York City that aren't clued into the joke that is Rudy Giuliani and his traveling circus of freaks?

Again, Giuliani's ONLY notable contribution to 9/11 was the placement of his emergency "command center" in the World Trade Center, which was then promptly blown up.

Now, of course, he travels the world making money off of the tragedy.

kuriya   November 25th, 2008 9:46 am ET

If the republican pick Giuliani they will never win election for may be after the 12 years and that is a big If. He is a very negative person, a man who does not respect the community or community organizer. The state the country is in today many people get help from their community. Moreover he does not have the quality to be president. I think he belong in New York to help his community then he will know what community means. He is a joke

Yes, down here in Georgia we really appreciate all these city people coming down to tell us how to vote, since we don't know what we want. Chambliss' ads against Martin are ridiculous, while Martin's just running Chambliss' own words against him. Martin might actually do something for the people of Georgia. Who knows? Not Giuliani, that's for sure, and I hereby repeat my promise to sic my dawg on any former presidential candidate who comes around here telling me who to vote for.

GaVoter   November 25th, 2008 9:30 am ET

Stay away Rudy! Chambliss doesn't need you, and besides, your too are to far left for the true taste of southern self independence. So make a good example of yourself and donate your would have been campaign expenses to the poor children in Atlanta. Just image how many people could actually be helped by the millions your guys are wasting promoting yourselves. Now if we can just keep the rest of you progressive Yanks from invading, I mean, retiring…

John, Brooklyn, New York   November 25th, 2008 9:30 am ET

We New Yorkers have known for a long time that Rudy isn't a moderate who reaches across the aisle. Instead, he allies himself with people like Chambliss who are the handywork of Karl Rove and company. Want politics as usual? Vote for Chambliss and Rudy. But if you are ready for collaboration and real change in Washington, vote for Martin.

Spider   November 25th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Ian-

You're exactly right. Guilliani's primary campaign was a loser. Why have him campaign for anybody?

Obama should just appoint Rudy to his cabinet. He's appointed all the other primary losers. But wait, Rudy didn't have anything to do with the Clinton Administration. Nevermind!!!

Jack Jodell   November 25th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Straight out of 1936, here comes dinosaur Giuliani again. Hang it up, Rudy. You might love hearing your self talk, but the rest of the country doesn't. Georgia already has Warm Springs; they don't need hot air to go along with it! O, and by the way, quit swallowing all your L's the way you do when you talk!

Stacy from Loudoun County VA   November 25th, 2008 9:29 am ET

I don't know how much Rudy is going to help the GOP cause in GA. They would be better off brining someone like Newt G. or heck George W. Bush in, he is still popular in that neck of the woods in some parts of the state.

I truly wonder how many people who will post negative on this individual simply do so because of his Republican tag and don't understand that Rudy's campaign was "over before it started" due to this social positions?

Hey Rudy, don't forget to remind them of 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11

An All Star Line Up Of Losers. maybe Palin will show up doing her parlor trick- speakng as livestock gets slaughtered behind her

Rudy, last and certainly least, is going to turn out hardcore conservative repubs. Don't underestimate him, even his children hate him, he will do whatever it takes to win or in this case spread the core family values of the repubs so someone else can win.

Those say that the Republican Party is out of touch are absolutely right!

Yes, we don't care what you do in your personal life. But we sure as heck care that Giuliani is on his third marriage, was carrying on an affair while still married, and yet expects to be voted into office.

No, I don't think the center has shifted that far to the left.

Kimora   November 25th, 2008 9:04 am ET

Hey Rudy, remember the "Community Organizer" will be your new president in January…..wish I could see you in person to rub it in!

Ian   November 25th, 2008 9:03 am ET

Wasn't his campaign over before it even started? Not really someone I'd want campaigning for me.

mac   November 25th, 2008 8:59 am ET

Sounds like Chambliss has a solid line-up of losers coming to campaign for him.

alvino   November 25th, 2008 8:51 am ET

Rudy is trying hard to be significant, but it is a losing battle for him.

Diana Ewing NJ   November 25th, 2008 8:48 am ET

With Rudy Giuliani going to Georgia to speak up for him, makes me thnk less of Chambliss. Giuilani is nasty, lying exactly what the GOP does not need to mend itself..

He has gotten enough miles out of the dead from 9/11 and has no shame about it.

Ken   November 25th, 2008 8:46 am ET

Sorry Rudy, we really don't like you too much anyway… Go back to New York.

I am hoping and praying that Jim Martin can pull this election off. We need him at a time like this, and I don't think I can stand 6 more years of Chambliss.

Danielle, TX   November 25th, 2008 8:45 am ET

Ummm….why?

pat C.   November 25th, 2008 8:42 am ET

GOOD THAT WILL HELP THE DEMOCRATS!!! CAN'T STAND THE MAN!

Mello in New Mexico   November 25th, 2008 8:38 am ET

There was a time when Republican met intelligence and middle of the road politics. Whatever happened to William F Buckley politics? This man has such a narrow mind he could stand sideways and not create a shadow. Sorry, Sorry,Sorry politics!

james in s.c.   November 25th, 2008 8:35 am ET

here comes the noun, verb, and 9/11. come on georgia lets kick chambliss out! i live in s.c. and i donated to jim martin, and georgia don't let the rethuglicans suppress your voting rights.

Just another CNN poster   November 25th, 2008 8:35 am ET

Is he going to "DRESS" up for the occasion?

Doug R.   November 25th, 2008 8:34 am ET

Rudy Giuliani is a non entity, a loser. It goes to show you how pathetic and desperate the Republican party is.

Barbara in NC   November 25th, 2008 8:28 am ET

Guiliani is a joke !!
