Rudy to make campaign cameo in Georgia

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Rudi also spent the last eight years on his knees, praising King Bush.

    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? The amount of blindness people have, even today, after this momumental event that took place three weeks ago is amazing.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    November 25, 2008 09:29 am at 9:29 am |
  35. John, Brooklyn, New York

    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.

  36. GaVoter

    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...

  37. Bubba

    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.

    A Yankee in Georgia will not play well.................he should stay home and let Georgians vote themselves into Republican Oblivion. Just what this BROKE State needs..............a Repulican Senator in a Democratically controlled Washington. I'll bet Saxby will ATTRACT all kinds of funding. Ya'll need to get a clue and vote for Martin.....there will plenty of time for Republicans in the future....now is not the time.

    Saxby voted against S-CHIP, as did Bush. Time they both leave. Maybe with a democrat president and a veto proof democratic Congress we will get a cigarette tax that will extend healthcare to the 50 million uninsureds, or at least their children!

    The GOP has better choices for campaigning than Rudy. I can't understand why they wouldn't have at least one of the up and coming governors stumping for Chambliss.

    Oh oh oh. My stomach hurts. Just the *thought* that Giuliani could resurface in 2012 against Obama brings my breakfast into my throat. He is the worst of the worst, the vilest of the vile.

    All the losers are gathering in Georgia. The big question is will Rudy be dressed as a woman. Maybe his little honey will call him on his cell phone. I wonder if he will speak of 9-11. This man makes me sick.

    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

    November 25, 2008 09:46 am at 9:46 am |
  52. Bill

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I normally try to comment more on substance than style, but I gotta say, Giuliani has always struck me as having the creepiest of smiles. It has always looked so fake to me.

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

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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. :)

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?

    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.

    "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.

    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!

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

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

  173. Stop the nonsense

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
