Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will campaign for Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will campaign for Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss.

(CNN) — Sarah Palin is coming back to the campaign trail.

The Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential nominee is adding her name to the list of big name surrogates who are making campaign cameos in the last remaining Senate election this year.

Palin teams up with Saxby Chambliss at a fundraiser Sunday night and at four campaign stops across Georgia on Monday, the last full day of campaigning before Tuesday's runoff election.

iReport.com: Share your photos, video from Georgia campaign

Chambliss is the freshman Republican senator from Georgia who is fighting to keep his seat. He's facing Jim Martin — a former state lawmaker in Georgia — in the runoff election.

Chambliss won a plurality of the vote three weeks ago on Election Day, 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 contest.

Palin is the latest high profile surrogate to stump with Chambliss. Sen. John McCain returned to the trail to campaign with Chambliss just nine days after losing the presidential election to Obama.

Two weeks ago, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — who ran for the Republican presidential nomination before dropping out in March and backing McCain — campaigned with Chambliss. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney also teamed up with Chambliss. Like Huckabee, Romney also ran for the GOP presidential nomination before ending his bid in February and backing McCain.

Last week, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani campaigned with Chambliss. Giuliani also jumped into the race for the Republican Presidential nomination. He dropped out in late January and immediately endorsed McCain.

Giuliani, Huckabee, and Romney could all make another stab at presidential politics in 2012. Palin could possibly join them.

Martin is also getting some major league help. Both former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore have separately 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 Senator Norm Coleman topped his Democratic challenger, Al Franken, by just 215 votes, triggering an automatic recount, which will extend well into December.

If the Democrats take both 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.

Palin needs to get a grip. First off, Alaskans are so tired of her because she is not doing anything for their State and just playing dumb politics. NOBODY CARES ABOUT HER….PALIN: GO BACK TO ALASKA AND TRY TO DO YOUR JOB.

JNC, California   November 30th, 2008 8:17 pm ET

She is a complete fake….All this about going home to Alaska and DO her job as governor….Yea right…..She is like a bad energizer bunny!!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

A. Baker   November 30th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

OH MY LORD. When will she go away?!?!

Justin   November 30th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Please Sarah, Go back to Alaska and stay there!

New England Yankee   November 30th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

A dog, not a male.

laura   November 30th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Palin is so predictable.She needs to reset her prioroties and be there for her young children. I hope her husband has more sense.

Savannah-Girl   November 30th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Oh no ..no,Sarah,please stay out off Georgia !!!!!!! GO HOME ……PLEASE!!! Stay in Alaska.
Georgia,vote for Jim Martin.

sandee in Portland   November 30th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

I can't imagine why anyone would vote Chambliss just because Palin is stumping for him. As soon as she opens her mouth, nothing but pure unadulated blither comes out of it.

Colin the Salesman   November 30th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

The more Palin dives in front of the camera, the better. She is ensuring the GOP remains a minority party for the foreseeable future with her inflamatory statements that continue to drive moderates and independents to the Democrats.

annie - Palin 2012   November 30th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Go Palin!!

LisaB   November 30th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

I for one will never forgive John McCain for unleashing the Kraken..err.. Sarah Palin on us for purely selfish reasons that didn't even work for him!
Now here we are having to look at the spokesperson for the deacy of American politics…continuously.

rob   November 30th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Palin is about as qualified as rosie o donald

Jim in Asheville   November 30th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Governor Palin should lay low for awhile. In our entertainment media saturated culture, too much coverage makes a person "old news" very quickly.

vincent   November 30th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

it's really too bad the propaganda mongers at CNN can't post comments with substance instead of……well you guys are all about blind america. Wake up and join the party, put down the Victorian blinders and stop all the BS

Simmy   November 30th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Gov. Palin: Please leave! the de-Palinization of American is not complete yet!

Yikeeeeeeeeeeees!

Pepsi   November 30th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

The best thing she could do for any of the people still running and the rest of the lower US is go back to Alaska and stay there. We were just fine before she was brought in and we will be a whole lot better when she goes back. The only reason most want her still in the news is for a good laugh, and the comedians have new material. She still hasn't learned much of anything. I would think she would catch on soon.

vincent   November 30th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Too bad the Republicans can't join the real Americans in Congress and work out the problems we face, instead of the usual "I need to control it all" mentality that has brought this country to its knees…..and Sarah, who needs her? No one I know.

Jen in PA   November 30th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

This is a pre-response to anyone who says, "Oh, you libs are so afraid of Palin!!! That's why you pick on her!!!"

No, we're not. We think she's woefully unprepared to be on the national political scene. And she's funny. We think you Republicans are not funny because you think she's qualified to run this country. We think that's kind of scary.

The Film Professor   November 30th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Saxby himself sounds like an orator next to this windbag. Can't the GOP do better than this? Our children need inspiring leaders, not ones who sound like they never mastered third grade english.

Mary Sue   November 30th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Why won't she go away? Is she actually doing any governing in Alaska?

linda`   November 30th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Why or why can't this woman stay in Alaska? She needs to deal with her state, and leave the rest of us alone. I can not stant her and her mouth, and while she was bery annoying during the presidential race, she is now like a bad dream that keeps coming back. Anyone, whom actually thinks she has something important to say should do a reality check. gO HOME SARAH PALIN,go back to you secessionist buddies,and!semi welfare state., and by all means shut that trap of yours! Your voice screeches, and you have nothing real to say. Take your egotistical self back to where you belong.

Sharon   November 30th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

That woman just needs to go away, way back to Alaska and stay there. Out of sight and out of sound. It is one thing to be confident in yourself, but it is another to be a confident moron. She hurts everyone she is around, and doesn't care as long as it promotes her own agenda. Sad that some people look to her as a leader, she is no leader but just another bully. She even thinks anything she has said or done wrong is because of others. Leaders take responsibility for their comments and actions, and don't lay the blame on others.

kaz   November 30th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

I wish Sara Palin stay in the news all the time..

Veteran for OB   November 30th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

She'll fire up the base. That's about it. Maybe since Georgia knows now that they are clearly in the minority (in vision and direction), they will change course. America has spoken. Georgia can get on board (with change, competence, and accountability), or continue down the road of corruption and kronyism (good old boy hookups and under the table handshake deals).

Not having the most talented folks in office right now is not an option for us. Folks in Georgia should be voting for the best interest of the country. Forget hypocritical, self righteous, divisive, partisan ideology. Turn away from it. It has wrecked us, and almost wrecked the world.

If we have learned anything, it is that we don't want to be governed by inferiors (regarding intellect). We see what happens when we let the "beer keg" captain run the country. If we have learned anything, we need to vote people in with above average intelligence, a good understanding of national and international affairs, and true integrity.

George Arlington, TX.   November 30th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

This woman needs to go away. We were blessed with a stupid president for 8 years . It will be nice to have someone that speakes proper english. I must confess I did learn some new words Skoosh is only one . I would need to see his dictionary to get the proper spelling..Sarah will only add to his wordbook GOD HELP US..

Anonymous in Texas   November 30th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Makes you wonder who's taking care of the kids in the Palin household.

Getting It Right   November 30th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

CNN – Let it go. It's hard, I know, but there are so many urgent issues ahead of us:

UAW President – Get his thoughts more – he did an excellent job on Sunday.

Retail Sales – Provide some tracking on this sector of the economy – it is the last strong indicator of where we are heading.

Businesses that are doing well – and how they are doing it.

Political News:
Results of the GA runoff – not the players (they are the same)

PE Obama's transition team: Under-reported staff-cabinet positions – get beyond the Clintons -we got it; we got it

Agenda items for Congress when they come back in session – progress/updates still are good news.

That can keep you busy for a while.

Sorry but I wish you just stayed home, you just don't get it

Salliesue   November 30th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Please go back to Alaska, Sarah! Your 15 minutes are up!!!

sandy   November 30th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

PLEASE give all us red blooded American's a break!!! I have had my fill of politics, and especially of Governor Palin. Aren't her 15 minutes of fame up yet??? Lets just get on with fixing this country and enough of the bull already

3strikes   November 30th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

PALIN 2012 – the new slogan america will be taking up next election year is – "nobama change failed, we need republican reform and palin power!"

J Stuart   November 30th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

What does Sarah Palin have to do with Georgia politics? She should be in Alaska protecting us fromr those Russian MIGs that she says wanders into Alaskan airspace

an independent   November 30th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Palin Free – Please!!!

Jim   November 30th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Here we go again…round 2 for Sarah Palin. Her last minute of undeserved fame is upon us. I can't wait to hear her thoughts on Georgia issues. She can't wave to us from Alaska but I'm sure she will do a lot of waving today. She is very good at coming into campaigns and stirring the pot. She will get a lot of cheers from those who love her. Many of which don't really know why. The scramble by the republican partyto save what should have been an easy win in Georgia is clear indication that America has moved, even in the red south. Chambliss may win but it is the way that he won that tells the real story.

Joyce   November 30th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

I was hoping she had returned to Alaska for good!!

Lauren   November 30th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

I would imagine 90% of the comments on here will be people slamming Sarah and making crude comments. And I would bet this will not get posted.

So before all you nuts start talking trash about how Sarah needs to go away,,,,,,,,,,

So does Hillary. Just go away Queen Hillary,,,,

Mike Dallas   November 30th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

Show a little leg, flash a little wink, spew a bit of hate, and the rednecks at the Klan rally deep down in Georgia will be eating out of your hand. Don't forget to exchange some of the RNC clothes at Lenox Square, so you will be outfitted for the rally correctly, I would suggest something in winter white…

Then just point them to the voting booth and tell them how to spell Saxby and Chambliss and your work is done.

Carol   November 30th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

I wish she would just stay in Alaska, tend to her day job, and shut the heck up. She's a joke (a very bad joke) and the country will be a lot better off when it doesn't have to hear about, or from, her any more.

Diggins   November 30th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

..Why bother..What is there possibly left that can be said about Sarah..

Al Feldzamen   November 30th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

It seemed a bit mysterious, why Governor Palin's health records were such a secret, and only released on the eve of the election.

She was adamantly determined to keep those personal health records from advanced public scrutiny, a most unusual stance for a candidate for such high office. What on earth was the lady hiding so grimly?

Could it be that, since the date of her first delivery is known and also the date of her marriage, being a public record, is also known . . . that her health records would reveal this first birth was not premature, but full term, and that it strongly indicated the conception occurred before her marriage?

And that is exactly what the medical record showed, that the birth of her first child was full "term," which means 9 months, plus or minus 2 weeks. Yet the lady gave birth only 8 months after her elopement marriage. Such marriages are often rushed, for pregnancy reasons, and that seems to have been the case here.

This certainly would have been damaging in the election for one who professes such fundamentalist views and such personal virtue as the Alaska governor. She, after all, has been an ardent promoter of premarital chastity and abstinence, and an equally ardent opponent of sex education.

Seems to make her a total hypocrite, no?

Bob Stephens   November 30th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

She is like a fungus infection. She keeps coming back again and again, even though nobody wants her to.

Gambi   November 30th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Not surprised she would show up, This race is as ugly and vicious as the Presidential campaign McCain and Palin ran. The women is politically blood thirsty.

Mike Denver Colorado   November 30th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

How long before the people of Alaska get fed up with their absentee Governor? $50 barrel oil has got be wrecking havoc on the State Budget.

What a showboat!! With the economy and oil revenue dropping like a rock in Alaska…..we have Sarah on show in Georgia.

It won't work long term Sarah….you're done. Appealing to the "base" was proven to out of touch with voters. Go home kill a moose..why don't cha!

I sure hope that people remember the what Karl Rove helped Saxby do to Max Cleland. Anyone who can make a true war hero like Cleland look like he is not a patriot desrves to burn.

By the way…..how much did Chambliss really help Greorgia in six years???

Go away Sarah Palin!! The elections are over and thank God you lost! I would of had to look at you for four years and scared for my life because you are ignorant and couldn't be president.

When she tries to act nice, it's more fake than pro wrestling.

But please keep on campaigning for the Republicans so they can continue to lose elections.

drumble   November 30th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I have to say that despite my relief that Palin is not Vice President of the United States I don't like seeing all these blogs from people asking her to go away, all it seems to do is stir up partisanship when Americans should be becoming one nation once again.

Sure, she wasn't ready to be in office, but she won't go away now that she's so embedded in the media, no matter how much one might want her to, so why not just let her get on with it. If she decides to run again, or to host the next Alaskan Cookery channel, getting angry about it won't change anything.

The funny thing about Sarah is as much as we all say we're sick of hearing her, we all still tune in to listen to whatever she comes out with next, it's just as much the media's fault for keeping her star alive. I just wish the so called "Hater" thing, with both sides accusing the other of being the nastier people, should be forgotten.

I doubt it will, I just wish people would focus their energy on something better.

mildred w greear   November 30th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

This discredited candidate (Palin) is of the same stripe of Chambliss who
ran a filthy campaign against our true veteran hero Max Cleland. Chambliss has never done anything we can tell to help anyone except cronies, witness, i. e,. the sugar refinery explosion in Savannah and Chambliss' position on the actual event and vote afterwards. If well known, he does not wear well, and his politics of personal destruction are detestible. Sooner or later, his birds will come home to roost. My hope it will be day after tomorrow. Mildred Greear

Will   November 30th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Republicans have been appealing to the very people that stand to suffer under their policies, under educated rural whites. Palin stokes the fires by calling these folks "Real Americans" and Republicans in general attack "Elitist intellectuals".

Well, city dwellers produce the pick up trucks, shotguns, refrigerators and TV's these folks use and the elitist intellectuals turn out our doctors, dentists, architects and engineers.

Their bibles are printed in cities and our armaments are produced there. City dwellers pay most the taxes to be used to build rural roads and schools as well as to pay for agricultural subsidies.
If all of us were these "Real Americans" as Palin calls these folks, we'd be worse off than any existing third world country.

The appalling thing is that this just does not click with these folks. Their level of comprehension of the factual position they occupy in our society is nil. And the Republican Party, fully realizing the value of folks you can bamboozle into believing anything, has been mining this lode of votes for decades.

tara   November 30th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Oh no! Not again. Not another Sarah Palin story!!!!!!! :(

Joan   November 30th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Well, I was hoping that Palin would be, by now, hidden from view somewhere far away from civilization – maybe this will happen sometime in the new year. We can only hope!!!!

MoodyBlue   November 30th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Sarah, sweetie – About this governor job you have, is it a part-time gig? I know Alaska has a small population, but let's face it, after taking time off to run McCain's campaign into the ground, don't you think the people you serve would like to see you at home doing your job?

Jackson   November 30th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

This on is in the bag for Dems. Pilon is a moron, just listen to her talk, she'll turn off GOP'ers just like in the National election.

Tim, Coronado, CA   November 30th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

THAT ought to clinch it for the Democrats.

Uncle Sam   November 30th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Why do Democrats and Republicans hate one another?
The world is much too small for that.

Nick F.   November 30th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

The overall message loud and clear from this election is, "DO SOMETHING!!" The Republicans' whole position is keep government constrained and do nothing. If they can filibuster, they will enforce a do nothing approach to governing which I don't think is really what is wanted or needed. We should give the new administration our full support so they can deal with the enormous problems that have overtaken the country. "Do nothing" is a hopeless approach and is the largest part of what has brought us to this sorry state. I hope the people of Georgia will vote for change and support the Democrat, Martin.

Joe from the QCA   November 30th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

How about that,one who knows how to call others a terrorist supporting another who trashed a true war hero, while lying like a dog to get elected last time around. Guess birds of a feather really does apply here.

Joe The Plumber   November 30th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Just when I thought she was out of the news. I really can't stand her anymore! She seemed so nice at first but the more I got to know her, the more she irritated the heck out of me!

Saxby Chambliss is the scumbag who questioned Max Cleveland's (Viet-Nam vet) patriotism in order to win this seat.Saxby had five deferments to keep from going to the Viet-Nam war. Just another scumbag Republican like Bush and Cheney who touts war but doesn't have the BALLS to serve.

Soccer Nana   November 30th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Governor Palin, please go home. Your family misses you and needs you. You stated that if God opens doors for you, you will go through them; it appears you are opening doors for yourself and it is making you look desperate. You do not have to be desperate; just go back to Alaska and be the governor you were elected to be and take care of your family. During your bid for VP you traveled with your family. My questions are, why aren't they with you now? Why isn't it important to be seen with you now? Please stop and think about the image you are portraying at this time.

Suzanne Olsen   November 30th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Does the republican candidate have a death wish????

IndiePA   November 30th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

The Republican Party has not learned one single thing after the disaster of the "W" administration. They're following the very same path. They continue to think that the American public will be sucked in by the down home personna, with no credible intelligence or professionalism to back it up. Can they really afford to back a feminine "W"? Will Americans stand for it? …and, once again, the so-called "liberal" media gives the current darling of the far right way too much attention. I look forward to "P"(alin) becoming a forgotten flash in the pan.

Conservative Not NeoCon   November 30th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Perusing-through   November 30th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

SAXBY CHAMBLISS DO NOT DESERVE TO BE A SENATOR REPRESENTING THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.

Senator Saxby Chambliss took FIVE deferments to stay out of the Vietnam War. No problem. But Saxby Chambliss had the audacity to run a savage and ruthless campaign against a patriot like Max Cleland, calling Cleland a coward and terrorist sympathizer, in spite of the fact that Max Cleland left TWO LEGS and ONE ARM in Vietnam in support of his country. Saxby Chambliss is nothing more than a Karl Rove snake, attacking true Vietnam Patriots while hiding behind FIVE Deferments.

May GOD Bless the United States of America!

Poor, poor Sarah…..she just doesn't get that her "15 minutes" are up does she?!? C'mon Sarah…good old Saxby doesn't need your homespun, folksy presence by his side…he really doesn't. Get back up there to Alaska and shoot somethin' hon…and stay there. You cost John McCain the election…haven't you done enough?!?!?

William   November 30th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

The funny thing is that she's completely oblivious to the fact that no one likes her. She's under the delusion that she's universally loved. Kinda similar to Bush. Both of them need to fade away from the pages of history.

Andy   November 30th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Isn't it sad that Saxby Chambliss needs a moron like Sarah Palin to help him with his campaign? The same Saxby Chambliss who compared a Vietnam war hero to Bin Laden, A vietnam hero who lost his limbs in battle.

Sarah Palin is obviously the figure head for ignorant moronic Americans who value intolerance over the good of the nation.

Texas Teacher   November 30th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

*big eyes… whites showing all the way around* Please…. Please….. NO More Sarah Palin…. I don't think I can stand it! *LOL*

The woman is a lunatic who has only her self interests at heart and appeals to the fringe elements of our society, who appear to be more than one would hope! All these politicians who shout their religious morals seem to me to be the least moral of us all! Their main interest is their own future cloaked in the mantle of Religion.

If they believed one whit of the teachings of the man they call Jesus, the Messiah, they could not do the evil things they do in HIS Name! Have they never studied the teachings of the man they call the Christ or do they just listen to others who tell them what to think and believe? I sometimes have to wonder. I find HIS teachings compelling, but not what the churches and his followers have done with them. The history of our world is peppered with the Evils done in his Name! Give us Strength to deal with these Base Religious Fanatics who try to wear the mantle of the Christian Faith.

What I see is the religion of Paul… not Jesus.

Just an old Indian woman speaking her mind in Texas. My apologies, if I offend the truly faithful. :)

If I were an Alaskan, I'd be furious. Who's minding the store there? It would be very interesting to know exactly how much time she's spent in her office (and to what end) since the election.

I had hoped that the general election would result in some meaningful reform for the GOP but with her rapidly becoming the darling new face of the party, that hope has faded. The GOP deserves all that will come with this short-sighted selection. We (I mean they, now that I have officially re-registered as an Independent) cannot possibly hope to gain support with a platform based on the extreme right social views of that woman, let alone her vulnerability on other issues. It is a sad time for the GOP which, to all appearances, seems destined to consign itself to the wilderness for decades by holding on to the gangrenous foot that is the current base.

Sarah Who?

Diane   November 30th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Those who gave us the Bush years are back and cheering on Palin. Why? Another simple, shallow ideologue with no depth an any issues. They want Bush back in the form of Palin, let them pay the bill for Bush's mistakes first.

FOR THE PROGRESSIVE, INDEPENDENT THINKERS, KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED

If Sarah Palin's luck holds up, she may be able to sabotage Chambliss campaign the way she destroyed McCain's campaign.

Stay tuned . . .

Joe the Drummer   November 30th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Palin and the crew of faith healers at Fox news may not be enough to help Chambliss win. Perhaps Chambliss should bring in Larry Craig.

mike edelman   November 30th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

if the republican party nominates sarah palin in 2012 or
features her as one of their up and coming national candidates
I will give up my republican affiliation which I have had since
barry goldwater..this is not the party of ronald reagan ..this
is the party of stupid

bk   November 30th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

People can say what they want about Gov. Palin, but there is no doubt she would work for the people. She doesn't owe anybody anything like the rest of them. She has proven it by what she has accomplished in Alaska. Some people and the media would rather focus on trying to destroy her than looking at her accomplishments.

Luke Brown, Charleston SC   November 30th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Oh wow! Sarah Palin is backing Chambliss??? Why didn't someone tell me sooner?

I guess now I'll have to reconsider my support for Martin.

Jack   November 30th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Silly Sarah – go away.

George   November 30th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Keep Palin coming RNC, she is the Dems best tool. The woman is a bafoon and clearly one of the least intelligent politicians since Dan Quale. GO SARAH GO!!

Hopefully she can do for him what she did for John McCain & the Dems can grab one more seat in the Senate.

Richard   November 30th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

It's a great chance to renew her campaigns of fears, smears, innuendos, lies, and ignorance.

Texas Teacher   November 30th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

I pray that the Democrats get the Senatoral seats to make the changes needed. There will be enough resistance to changes that will hurt the contributors to candidates who have financing from other than the People! Those Big Business interests are not going to give up control easily. Namely the AMA, Health Insurance, and Pharaceutical Companies. As well as the Oil Companies and on and on……. These are powerful entities. We have a major uphill battle ahead of us!

One can only pray that the power of the Presidency and the Will of the People will prevail! God Bless Barack Obama and all who support him and his ideals!

Again, I trust our President Elect! :) Just an old Indian Woman in Texas speaking her mind.

Matt, Chico, CA   November 30th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

I'm surprised all the libs haven't started ragging on Palin in this thread yet

rob morris   November 30th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

I would have voted republican in Georgia till Palin hit the trail. If the rest of the republicans feel and think she is qualified by any means and lend credibility to that, then I have to defer from my party's candidate and voted democratic. As long as Palin is involved in any way, then I have no choice.

Kaye- Jacksonville FL   November 30th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I'm still praying for the day this woman falls off the media radar screen. PUH-LEEZE……I must be getting thick in the brain as I still fail to see why anyone would find her politically intelligent or even mildly interesting. I've come to detest seeing her name and face, regardless of the coverage.

Sarah Barracuda Returns   November 30th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Sarah—let the people of Georgia know how you would handle terrorism.
Obama is going to do nothing as Al Qaeda approaches our shores and we are victims of attacks similar to what happened in Mombai. He'll look to sit down with Al Qaeda for tea and crumpets as our subways burn.
Spell it out for them Sarah—I know you have the courage and instincts to deal with these terrorists whereas Obama is likely to wet his pants upon the first attack.

Adaora- Houston   November 30th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

No pun intended on the wingnut turkey thang I just wrote. I'm thinkin' of becomin' a vegetarian after that scene with Sarah & the turkey slaughter behind her. Thanks Sarah! (did I drop enough g's there?).

Craig   November 30th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

why doesn't she go back to Alaska and DO HER JOB!

dk   November 30th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Sarah, dear; you had your fifteen minutes, so go home and leave us alone.

Don't you have a lot of business at the North Pole with Santa and his elves? Toys don't build themselves, you know and if the job's gonna get done, you betcha, Santa needs all the help he can get.

Also, there are those pesky Russians flying over Alaska and I bet their up to mischief, trying to steal Rudolph's red nose and such. So get home and shoo them away; we're depending on you to get the job done.

Joe Nevada   November 30th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

This is the woman who can see Russia from her front door, thinks the VP runs the Senate, needs $150,000 wardrobe for 12 weeks, blamed Bush for election loss, thinks cavemen rode dinasuars..Why don't she just go home and clean some fish and shut up???

JerryFalwellWithLipstick   November 30th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

The ever lovin' lulu with Miss wingnut was the turkey being slaughtered behind her as she was giving a turkey pardon to the camera. I'm speechless every time she opens her mouth. What were you thinkin' John???? That was my lil g dropin' opinion. M'am you are no Hillary. What an insult Miss P. is to women. Miss P. is to Hillary as Flav O' Flav is to President Elect Obama.

Sarah---getting ready for 2012'   November 30th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Great to see you in Georgia—–remember Obama is only an "interim" President as we await you in 2012—

Obama will not be relected as he fails to revive the economy and we are beset by terrorism, which he is too woosy to cope with—

After every act of terrorism, look for Obama to write a speech and make a few phone calls—

Enough already. This is a dead story. With all we are facing economically, and considering events taking place in Iraq, Afghanistan and India…NO news agency should be wasting 'front page' news space on this individual. Anyone who believes this woman is more than a ridiculous choice for any office, let alone the Presidency, should have their head checked…or gain a better understand of the history of our Country. Surely, 'conservatives' (whatever that really means today) can find someone with a little more intelligence and worldly knowledge to wave their flag around.

sandrs   November 30th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

A person when guided by greed, pride and stupidity often become blind, unable to posess a normal sense of perception, when the sense of persencion is distored a person make all kinds of very poor desicions, no so hard to see this happening in her case. Some one like her never will succed, and if she does it will only last for a very short time, the fall will be great, the bitterness will hopefully teach a lesson for many

dan   November 30th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

She's twisted steel, and rompin' stompin' dynamite!

JCQueipo   November 30th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

This Palin is like my ex-wife's lawyer: keeps coming for more !!!

abraxis   November 30th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Ignorance knows no bounds! Let her campaign for any one she wants, and let them grasp for straws. It is only indicative of the state of conservatism in Georgia which, by the way Palin, is a state in America.

your average girl   November 30th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

I'm sorry, but Sarah Palin just needs to let it go. I'm tired of hearing about her because I do not think she has the talent or what it takes to be a truly successful politician. Sure she's good at "zingers," but there is much more to the job description than being able to deliver one liners.

Glenn-GA   November 30th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Go Sarah! You and Chambliss are soul Republican soulmates, mean sprited and just plain uneducated. Chambliss said he doesn't know what a rescession is! Sounds just like something Palin would say.
Chambliss is however a good propagandist. Maybe he can come up with another Osoma Bin Ladden Max Cleland smear! ? ha!The people of Georgia will not bite this time.

bill depp   November 30th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Palin relates to the uneducated hayseed Bubba types, so this can be good for Chambliss. Giuliani appeals to the thiefs and dirtbags and Huckabee to the bible toting inbreds from the hills. It might work out just fine!

god bless the US   November 30th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

All this talk about filibuster proof majority. Remember when republicans wanted to get rid of the filibuster when they had a majority? now all they want to do is be able to keep it in place since they are the minority

Sunday Football Link Cache [Go Bears!] | Patriot Missive   November 30th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

[...] Palin is back on the campaign trail. [...]

Dennis   November 30th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Please, a majority is simply more than half. If there is an odd number of voters, no candidate can receive half a vote (think about it).

Svetlana   November 30th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Will someone please pull this moron off the stage. It is starting to get kind of obnoxious. She is a fanatical idiot that is not qualified for any political office.

Alistair   November 30th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Sarah do us all a favor PLEASE go back to Alaska and help your own people.

bill depp   November 30th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Obama should talk to the USA and tell them how important it is to elect Martin and not another Republican thief loser dirtbag. Civilian life for Chambliss is much better, just look at Elizabeth Dole for example, she can now sit back remove the 20 or so coats of make up and the trusses supporting her face and spend some time with her fossil husband Viagra Bob. It would be a good test to see if Obama can get his people out to vote!

Tracy M.   November 30th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Decorum would require at least a short withdrawal from politics while she analyzes what went wrong with her campaign and acquires some knowledge relating to politics, geography and the Constitution (what is it, like, eight pages?). Decorum, however, is obviously on the long list of things with which she is not familiar. In other words, "Oh, gee whiz, I don't know much about decorum. But I do hang garlands from my doorways!"

chucky1169469   November 30th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

How can any person with sound mind and judgment take this lady seriously? When is the right going to wake up and see the numbers?
America has moved beyond your outdated thinking, your Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News thinking. I truly hope you embrace this lady as your spokesperson in the future.

Here she goes again….campaign trail Sarah, I bet she couldn't wait to get back into the frey again…..if she did a bad a job as she did for McCain at the end of the day….Chambliss will be sorry she ever turned up!!!!
I wonder how many times she will mention Alaksa this time around and if she is a Maverick…..I guess we have to stay tuned to find out.

Susan   November 30th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Shoo Bimbo. Go away.

Republicans will need to finde way them selves how to get rid of McPitbull, Democrat were so smart not to get their hands dirty, slowly even media will back off totally , so republicans you better look what you will do with her before she runs party to the ground with her extrem positions and nasty will to power.All what she performed against Obama she is ready to aplay against any other disent republican who would dares to run against her. There is lesson to be learned from this election . awy with her…….

case   November 30th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

The mere fact that the GOP is fighting to hold a seat in GEORGIA!!! of all places shows just were that Party is. This would be like having to send Bill Clinton to Vermont to hold a Democratic Senatorial seat.

GO SARAH PALIN!!!!
You have them so afraid on the other side it isn't funny, They can't stand it your more popular then Obama and more sought after. But be smarter then the liberals looking to banish you, use all the money you receive from appearances and speeches to found Alaskan projects/charities. That will make them sick to there stomach and next thing you know nothing they do will stick on you and will only make them look bitter. Yeah Obama won in 08, but in that doesn't make him the winner in 2012. As for Hillary we have seen that she is a puppet controlled by party politics, a true leader would of continued to run despite party loyalties. Obama was the worst choice ever made by the economically government enslaved democrats.

Endri   November 30th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

"Being That",
you cannot stay away from the continental U.S. Go back to Alaska and fire your M-14.
Have you told the rest of the country that it took you 7 consecutive full time years to finish college? By now you must know that Africa is a continent and not a country. Not bad having a "terrorist" as a president of the U.S.

Lisa Vilen   November 30th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

I am not sure what to say of Palin any more. I am sure she would probably make a nice neighbor, so I do not like personally attacking her, but I admit I am terrified of her. I am terrified that even one person could think of Palin as a remotely qualified candidate for much of anything. Yet, it is obvious the powers that be are still going to persist on parading her around. Actually, I think this is what most people are responding to with their negative comments, no matter how they may come off: It is not that they personally do not like her; it is just that they cannot believe anyone could ever take her seriously as a politician.

chuck   November 30th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

This is a SICK WOMAN with no family life and that's the reason for her seventeen year old daughter to be pregnant for a stiff.

Quote from Sarah Palin…

"Talking with complete sentences there and also too talking in a way that ordinary Americans like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder can't really do there, I think needing to do that isn't tapping into what Americans are needing also," she said.

Yes she's helping a lot !!!

So, Sarah, what happened to your plans to get back there to the great state of Alaska and doing what the great people of Alaska elected you to do, which was to run the state, also, too? You seem to be everywhere BUT in the office of the governor these days.

Monroe W. DeVos   November 30th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

Please, please….go back to Alaska and help your own constituents. You certainly haven't done anything for them in the past three months and we certainly don't need you in Georgia. Save your inane comments for someone else!

Phillip Bunn   November 30th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

This woman is like a germ that there is no cure for. I sincerely hope that the future of the Republican Party depends on her. If that be the case, Americans will only have to suffer her hideous winks.

Roger   November 30th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

She can campaign for Chambliss all day if she wants to and even wear lipstick. While no one will be able to understand what she says, I hope they will still see her for what she is.

Ray Fisher   November 30th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

If the press would simply stop giving Palin air time, maybe she would dry up and blow!!! She can resurfaceafter she learns her office and a little about politics…

Who the heck is running Alaska now?? Is it "the Dude?" If I were a "smart" republican who is in a tight race, why would you ask someone who lost the big race to attempt to come and help you? What is the RNC thinking?

Dan   November 30th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

I wonder how much someone has to pay to ensure that Palin stays out of the media for good, gosh darnit. I would happily visit Alaska anytime I feel the need to know what she's up to.

greg   November 30th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Clinton drew 3,000, Gore drew 500 during their rallies for Martin. Donna Brazile, Gore's former campaign manager, held an event for Martin that drew just 75.

McCain drew 3,000, Huckabee 2,000, Romney 1,000 in their rallies for Chambliss.

Gov. Palin is booked into arenas that can hold 10 to 12,000 for 3 appearances, and one that can hold about 20,000. Her events will be maximum capacity. She'll also raise a lot of money at the fundraising event.

obama's campaign people have been pouring into Georgia to attempt to get out the vote, and he has produced ads supporting Martin.

Palin will outdraw them all combined in just one of her events. She'll get out the vote for Chambliss, and will be a huge factor in handing obama his first defeat.

Christy   November 30th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Palin is a has-been. If the Republicans think she's the future of their party, they better change their mascot from the elephant to the dinosaur.

Won't it be wonderful have Carribou Barbie here. She ran one of the most vicious attack campaigns ever. Now she is coming to GA. to do the same for Chamblis. So fitting, Shameless Chamblis has run nothing but attack ads and smears, it would have been nice to see what ideas Chamblis had (if any)…but this is the same man who thought that ripping apart a disabled Viet Nam vet was good sport.

When is that dolt going the way of Dan Quayle? she needs to get back to Alaska and being a mother to her oft neglected children.

Tab Cocovillea   November 30th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

If there is a God, she'll sink two careers in one fell swoop.

suzyku   November 30th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

will this woman never go away?!

Linda , Phoenix, Arizona   November 30th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Palin should go back to alaska and learn some stuff1 As a Democrat i am happy if she is all the GOP can come up with as a rep of her party. She is uneducated, ignorant, dishonest, rude, annoying and sickeningly arrogant. She doesn't beieive in the Constitution, is anti-gay, wants only abstinence education, wants to teach religion in schools, cares nothing for the environment, still claims that global warming is not a fact. Just NOT what the world needs, not even Alaska. How stupid is she to allow herself to be taped while a guy sticks turkeys by the head into a horrilble slaughter machine while she jokes and winks in the foreground.
God Bless America and thanks for Obama and Biden!

Go home to your children and husband. that is the christian way.

and the smart thing to do when you are out of your league.

Texas Trail Kitty   November 30th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Sigh . . . . I suppose she'll go away at some point. She is the most self-aware politician I have ever seen – and you have to go some to stand out in a crowd like that.

Joel Smith   November 30th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Seriously, what has she been doing for Alaska since she was the VP pick for McCain???? She needs to get back to work!

Atlanta Democrat   November 30th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Welcome to Georgia, Governor Palin – you are just what Jim Martin needs.

zaphod2000   November 30th, 2008 11:56 am ET

I knew a week would not go by without another story about this woman. Does anyone but her family whom she has a need to leave behind now really care? She should be home tending to that baby boy.
If only the media wouldn't be as smitten as most of us aren't we would be a much happier nation.

keekers   November 30th, 2008 11:56 am ET

God did the right thing and sent her back to Alaska. Lets leave her there…she's done.

RevC   November 30th, 2008 11:56 am ET

J Williamson   November 30th, 2008 11:53 am ET

The Republican presidential nomination campaign for 2012 is, quite apparently, in full-sway. Any polls yet on who is leading in Iowa or New Hampshire? Oh, this "withdrawl" is awful (LOL!)

A G Bevin   November 30th, 2008 11:51 am ET

I guess Palin is trying to get some political experience in the lower U.S. since she was a mess in Alaska. She really should get back to her family and look after the needs of her daughter (the pregnant one) and her Downs' syndrome son. They need her a Hell of a lot more than the American public…..I hope she will continue in the future to do better by her family than she could ever do for America. No intelligent peson could tolerate her as Vice-President, let alone President…..but then, perhaps some voters were thinking of some limited (or only) characteristic she has rather than the over-all good of American…..Peace !!

Russ   November 30th, 2008 11:51 am ET

One can only hope she will do for Chambliss what she did for McCain.

DKing   November 30th, 2008 11:51 am ET

I guess there is nothing for the governor to do up in Alaska. She was on the presidental campaign trail for months so one would think her neglected office would require some attention. If I was an Alaskian I would not be happy. But then again to get the dimwit out of the way may be all for the good.

Don from Maine   November 30th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Makes me wonder if Chambliss watched the Presidential election results. If history is any indicator the last candidate who was endorsed by Palin lost in a landslide. Somehow I think the people in the state of Georgia are far too intelligent to be swayed by Caribou Barbie. In fact voters just might tell Chambliss 'Here's your sign". They don;t put lipstick on their pitbulls in Georgia. Palin is like that obnoxious distant relative that keeps showing up with their hand out. Aren't there some ethics charges she needs to address back in Alaska? It amazes me that any sensable republican would align him or herself with this pathetic loser. Total idiot? You betcha wink wink. I cxan't wait to read the latest on this egomaniacal hockey mom. Should'nt she be back in Alaska waiting for Putin to violate our airspace? Good luck Saxsby-you'll need it if you join this ship of fools.

Good Grief   November 30th, 2008 11:45 am ET

Not much help here and I would think unwelcomed attention if you want a Republican in that senate seat.

Sarah really needs to go back to Alaska and "cool off" a little. She can keep her "first dude" with her up there too. She is just a little too folksey to be taken seriously and I'm more red neck than I like to think I am and a Republican thru and thru. Seriously there is a time to let you hair down and a time to shut the heck up. She didn't know the difference.

PULEEEZZZ!! lets tell some truth   November 30th, 2008 11:45 am ET

NOT HER AGAIN!!!!! GRRRRRRR what an insult to our intelligence. IF we are to be a 'great' nation as Sarah is always using this empty word, then we need TO KEEP RELIGION OUT OF GOVERNMENT.. I wish the Repubs could understand this basic principle that used to make the US a leader in the world..

EdM   November 30th, 2008 11:43 am ET

I'm glad to hear this, the Democrat should be a shoe in now!

David   November 30th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Sarah Palin is NOT news.
The news is that there's a contested race still to be decided what it means for the country.

What it means for Caibou Barbie is NOT of interest.

paul oregon   November 30th, 2008 11:43 am ET

accordind to a artical in the anchorage dailynews . chambliss made a comment on 911 that all muslums should be shot . also there was a veitam veteran that ran against chambliss that is disabled ( who had lost both legs and a arm in the war ) a comment that chambliss made was that since his oppent had lost 3 limbs in the war he was weak and would hand the country over to the terriosts. doesnt trhe G.O.P make you proud to be a american. palin is ajoke from what i read in the a.d.n she has a few problems in alaska that she is ducking. us dem. like palin she takes a licking and keeps on giving
to the dem. party. everyone needs a laugh a day

Shoot'em Up!   November 30th, 2008 11:42 am ET

"Good Ole Saxby"! What luck that self-imploding "Caribou Barbie" is coming to resuce. Hey Sarah! Neiman-Marcus is open and waiting for you in Atlanta.

Palin's the biggest thing to hit Georgia since General Sherman. Come guys give her a real "warm" welcom.

Tom Dawson   November 30th, 2008 11:41 am ET

Why doesn't she just stay home and "govern" or whatever she does in Alaska? Enough is enough.

Soccer mom   November 30th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Isn't she supposed to be governing Alaska?
Typical Palin, forget about working together for the crisis of today, but only thinking of her own run down the road. I wonder how many people she will have fighting against each other from now until then.

Don Fitzgerald   November 30th, 2008 11:38 am ET

I hope that the good voters of Georgia remember what the Bush-McCain Republicans have done to America and her citizens !! If they do, I think Mr. Martin, a Vietnam War Veteran, will be elected to our Senate. That is the smart thing to do !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Clint, Wa.   November 30th, 2008 11:37 am ET

Please, CNN, just let her fade away, there are much more newsworthy stories out there.

No Palin   November 30th, 2008 11:36 am ET

Hey,

Don't you have a state to run?

Don't you have kids to take care of?

Lucinda, Albquerque, NM   November 30th, 2008 11:36 am ET

All of those losers are in denial! The best,very best, thing that could result from all of this is that Palin continues to challenge Romeny,Giuliani, Huckabee all the way to 2012, thereby guaranteeing that Democrats will continue to dominate both houses of congress , governorships,and preserving Obama's presidency. Republicans lost in 2008, will continue to lose for a long time because they just don't know how to win. Thanks Gov. Palin!

Butch Dillon   November 30th, 2008 11:35 am ET

Let's not fool ourselves, Georgia is a red neck state with the type of mindless constituency that drive Palin's popularity. They will listen to her vicious attacks with delight and threaten to kill Martin because he is on Obama's side. Palin's pals may not turn out to vote, but they will turn this thing as ugly as Palin is.

Allen in Hartwell, GA   November 30th, 2008 11:33 am ET

If there's any justice to the election system Saxby will suffer the same fate with Sarah's help as did Senator McCain. It would serve him right for the nasty campaign that he ran against Max Cleland in 2002.

joseph   November 30th, 2008 11:29 am ET

Who Cares.

Wendy NC   November 30th, 2008 11:29 am ET

Even the Anchorage Daily News has pointed out the irony of her campaigning for a man who launched one of the nastiest swiftboat style ads against Max Cleland, a man who served this country in VietNam, losing three limbs. So she supports the troops and wants her son Track to be safe in Iraq and she wants to be an advocate for disabled, yet she is campaigning for a man who sought 5 deferrments to get out of the draft during VietNam. So Chambliss went after a disabled veteran in the most vicious way ever, got out of a war to protect his own butt, and she's going to campaign for him? So much for supporting our troops and being a voice for the disabled of the world. WTG Sarah.

Wwhyyyyyy!!!!!   November 30th, 2008 11:28 am ET

If he wants to keep his seat, why is he paling around with terrorist? Why won't she go away? Please make it stop, it's like a night mare that won't end. I wish I could open my eyes and never hear or see her face again. Sarah, I'm trying to keep my turkey dinner down.

SHAME   November 30th, 2008 11:26 am ET

Well Gov. Palin is back. Her and Chambliss ~ makes sense. They both use hate and fear to promote themselves versus discourse and policy. Makes sense. I really do hope that Palin finds a time when she can settle back, take care of Alaska, and drive herself to gain broad knowledge. Until then, I just sigh or laugh, depending on what she says on any given day.

Tony   November 30th, 2008 11:26 am ET

If Chambliss has stooped to bringing in Sarah Palin, then – like with John McCain – he's lost all real credibility in my book.

Mary Tyler Moore   November 30th, 2008 11:25 am ET

Stu-Florida   November 30th, 2008 11:22 am ET

She's going to force the lower 48 to like her, whether we do or not…

Any dictionary can tell you the meaning of: go away, we don't need you here, stop opening your mouth, shut up, stop please, tell Todd, abuse of power, lies, fear, misconceptions, truth, etc… IF she used one!!!!!

CNN, you're going to loose readers if you keep her in the news! Please STOP!

Diane   November 30th, 2008 11:21 am ET

John in VA   November 30th, 2008 11:20 am ET

Yes, Sarah, please campaign! Every campaign you involve yourself in turns to goo. Looking forward to a Martin victory on Tuesday.

ross berg- Buffalo, NY   November 30th, 2008 11:19 am ET

They must be celebrating in the Martin camp. The exit polls clearly showed that she was a major turnoff to an overwhelming majority of independent voters (male&female) and her being on the ticket was the reason given by them for voting democratic.

If Chambliss loses you can be sure that the exit polls will again show her being a major reason.

Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results!!

Oh well, here comes the 60th. vote!!

kirk in upstate new york   November 30th, 2008 11:18 am ET

Sung to the tune of Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the week before voting and all through the state
Was the sound of redneck and a former vice presidential running mate.
There were shouts of honor and yells of "country first"
too bad it was integrity that the voters did thirst.
The man, to get in office, made fun of an American veteran
a stupid human trick found only on Letterman.
One can only hope that America has learned its lesson
fake WMD, fake links to Al Queda just aint worth messin'
Because we are on to the tricks, the hoodwinkery, the hurly-burly
enough of Senators being jerks and VP's played by Joanne Worley!

mike   November 30th, 2008 11:17 am ET

I like the fact that the repubs are running scared and trying anything to get those last couple of seats.
Let's see how they like having little to zero input on running the country while they sit in the senate.
Hahaha Serves them right, never take advantage of the American people, we're not idiots, we will turn on you in a heartbeat.

Alex   November 30th, 2008 11:17 am ET

In Juneau, the capital of Alaska, inhabitants wear a button with the words: "Where's Sarah?" She spends more time in the Lower '48 than she does in her own state.

Judy Zukoski, Barnesville, PA   November 30th, 2008 11:16 am ET

It's a sorry state of affairs when someone who cannot string two coherent sentences together is "a big name surrogate" in a political campaign. It's time for America to stop rewarding sub-mediocrity by paying attention to such people.

If Gov. Palin is truly concerned about Alaska, why doesn't she stay home and attend to the pressing needs of that State? Seems she is STILL more interested in the limelight, as indicated by her recently missing a conference on education in Alaska in favor of granting another interview. Typical Sarah…..ego prevails over the interests of those who put her in office.

Allen from Pa.   November 30th, 2008 11:16 am ET

She will do anything to get in the news.

GO AWAY SARAH PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Your fifteen minutes were up November 4th.

Jeffrey   November 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Chambliss equals George W. and then some. Here's a guy who supports teacher-led prayer in public schools, scores an A+ from the NRA, supports Bush's war in Iraq, opposes stricter limits on campaign funds, supports the ridiculous Border Wall, supports privatizing Social Security, and scores near the bottom on issues pertaining to civil rights for gays, women, and other minority groups while scoring high on support for big business and corporations. Global warming? Not an issue.

I guess it's no surprise he draws support from Palin, McCain, Romney, etc. And guys like Huckabee and Giuliani, who tried to separate themselves from Bush as independents, now show that their true allegiance is to…the GOP.

Americans just voted against this kind of politician. Let's hope Georgia completes the housecleaning.

Amanda, GA   November 30th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Sarah, you are welcome here in GA. We want Saxby to win the race and your help is deeply appreciated.

REG in AZ   November 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

‘Sarah Palin haters’, I think people who use that phrase are missing the point. It really isn’t hatred; it is disgust, disgust with her many faults and her brazenness and surprise and disgust first with John McCain for bringing her out of obscurity and now with those who are trying to make her their next puppet to pick up where GWBush left off. There is where the fault really lies. One individual stated they didn’t think she was a sociopathic personality because she had meaningful relationships but, as McCain discovered, it is apparent she just uses relationships for her advantage. They also felt she deserved credit for having her DS baby instead of aborting yet there is the question, does she deserve credit when she constantly uses the baby as a prop, soliciting sympathy and recognition, and then just handing it off? No, those along with all of her other self-focused characteristics, especially the lack of any conscience, strongly suggest she really fits the sociopathic category and would be a real disaster in any national office (as the sociopathic GWBush has been). Personally, I think she is a sick and sad case and simply wish that she would fade away. George W Bush has proven to be the worst President this country has ever had and we need to remember all of it in order to recognize and reject anyone else who is similar – Sarah Palin is a cut from the same mold! The Republican Party can do better and we need to demand that they do so.

bill   November 30th, 2008 11:12 am ET

Evidentially being Governor of Alaska is not particularly time consuming job.

johnrj08   November 30th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Clearly, Palin believes she is a powerful campaigner, but her involvement way down in Georgia, thousands of miles from her family and her duties as governor of Alaska, is totally unnecessary. Chambliss is expected to win this run-off and doesn't need her help. Palin is doing this for herself and nobody else, but she seems to think no one will notice that fact. How do you spell "Sarah Palin"?

O-B-L-I-V-i-O-U-S.

Tired of Palin   November 30th, 2008 11:10 am ET

She just needs to go away.

Janey   November 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

I can't wait to hear her speak again–I love the way she ignores all of the attempted smears from the left! This is one tough, smart lady! And she does NOT stutter at hard questions like the chosen ONE.

ABG   November 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

Gov. Sarah Palin has shown she can energize large crowds at campaign stops.

I bet she out draws Giuliani, Romney & Hucklebee combined!

kirk in upstate new york   November 30th, 2008 11:09 am ET

It makes sense that the woman who made the act of turkeys loosing their heads a public affair would team up with the bum who got into office by attacking an amputee.

Seriously folks…the Republican party is looking more and more like a Mad TV sketch.

Sheesh…I'm almost sorry for them!

ranjit   November 30th, 2008 11:08 am ET

It is a very good move. Right now, Sarah Palin is the one who is energizing the conservative base. Also, this will make her earn the position of being a leader in the conservative movement. This move is going to increase the margin of senator chambliss .

Demon_Joe   November 30th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Why bring in Palin to boost Chambliss? Both have nothing to add, except fear mongering. The Chambliss attack ads are stupid at best, again pandering to the low information voter… the same people that supported McCain-Palin. What will she say about Obama and Martin now that she has been invited to Georgia? "Raise your taxes" will surely be on their speech agenda. Typical Republicans.

The people have spoken! Go away Chambliss, go away Palin!

aaron   November 30th, 2008 11:05 am ET

Well what I think about that and also too Palin the campaign trail is just brutal and also as well as and the main stream media and bias and also gotcha journalism up there in Alaska you betcha. Will someone please put this moron back on her short bus to Alaska so she can peep on Russia from her house?

Dorothy in NC   November 30th, 2008 11:05 am ET

I guess Sarah Palin isn't going to go away no matter how most of us feel and the thought of her and Romney, Huckabee & Giuliani making another Presidential bid in 2012 is about as refreshing a thought as drinking sand on a hot day.

No matter how you pair these people up; Romney/Palin or Huckabee/Giuliani or Giuliani/Palin or Huckabee/Romney the result is distressing. Surely the American people have some Republican inlaw or even outlaw that would like a career in politics because it definitely would take more than 3 of a kind to beat any one of those pairs !

If that is the best the Republican party can do, thank God I am a Democrat.

former gop   November 30th, 2008 11:04 am ET

Honestly, there's no politician I hate except Sarah Palin. She's humiliated this country. The world laughs at us because she's such a joke. Somebody please make her go away.

Spokane Bob   November 30th, 2008 11:02 am ET

Pretty sad when the worst of 4 candidates is elected. Sara Palin should be president. Obama has no experience and is a terrorist supporter. Palin IQ 138, Obama 119. We elected the wrong person.

Sezi Demirkilic`   November 30th, 2008 11:02 am ET

What a big mistake. Having S. Palin as your support in an election. It just shows that people do not learn from their past errors. But, I can almost bet that a bunch of people will come out and probably bow down to S. Palin and probably listen to her words of wisdom without breathing. She is doing everything she can to stay in the limelight, instead she should go back to Alaska and try and do the job she was elected to do. Some of us already forgot her and would like to continue to erase her permanently from our memories!

Ken   November 30th, 2008 11:02 am ET

Chambliss is worthless and he does not deserve to represent the state of Georgia. 6 years was enough.

I hope Ms. Palin brings her luck with her and helps his campaign go down in flames, much like her own.

Chambliss should know he did something wrong as the race is as close as it is. A Republican in Georgia should be quite a bit more ahead than he is.

SC   November 30th, 2008 11:02 am ET

I'm still wondering who would want someone like Palin. I think only a loser like Sexby would.

Doesn’t this woman have a state to run? I wish she’d go home and do her job, care for her family and her superstitions and leave the rest of us alone. I am just thankful that we aren’t in a situation where she is a heartbeat away from the White House in times like these. Please, Ms. Palin, go tend to your knitting, your moose gutting, or whatever and mind your own business.

Let's ignore all articles about Palin and the media's obvious love

American people care less what that hocky mom is doing.

Mankind   November 30th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Sarah Palin will not stop to amuse people, including myself. She just doesn't get it that 'Talking fast or furiously is not tantamount to gross intelligence'. Just like most comedian, this lady is just adicted to the spotlight. She simply has no substance and only a looser will allow her to stump for them in any campaign. Ridiculously, she thinks she's preparing herself for 2012. lol.

Shall I say, here comes another show of foolery and out-of-sync rhetorics from the least qualified governor in the history of our nation.

The only thing she should be doing now is start fresh from Politics 101. It's a disgrace to the nation when a person who know almost nothing about world politics runs for the presidency in 2012. Don't waste time Palin! It may help a little if you put in 4 more years of studying!

Funny to see a big-time loser in Palin go to the aid of what many of us hope will soon be a two-time loser in Chambliss on December 2. Voters, look to see the poor judgment of Chambliss bringing in one of the most prolific national landslide losers in the form of Palin to appeal to the whacko, evangelical Republican base who hold Palin as a god-like creature due to her pro-life and anti-gay direction given by God–they believe.

And, Palin and Chambliss do both share a common bond in being self-avowed and flaming rednecks! Let's send Chambliss back to performing jobs he is aptly suited to do, like plowing corn fields.

Palin campaigning equals another Democrat victory.

She should stay in Alaska and write moose cookbooks and take care of her family.

Carl from MI   November 30th, 2008 10:47 am ET

When, Lord… when?

When will this woman stop talking and stop showing the lower 48 states just how STOOPID she really is? Wasn't enduring eight years of STOOPID enough? Must we endure more???

When, Lord… when???

When will be our time to go without Sarah Palin and more STOOPID??

PALIN = FAIL

jrc903   November 30th, 2008 10:46 am ET

It is official, according to Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin is now the undisputed leader of the republican party. By default, she brings with her an unbeatable combination of wit/charm /intelligence /insight/knowledge(apparently) not equaled by anyone other member of the republican party. In fact, so as not to appear to be disgruntle, I bet most of them will continue to pretend this women really knows something. The question is, for how long–can they keep up this ridiculous self-delusion. Will Rogers once said "I don't belong to any organized political party– I am a democrat." Well.. republicans can now say– "They don't belong to any party led by intelligent human beings- they are republicans."
But seriously, wouldn't it be NOT funny if they laughed her off for so long that somehow the so-called center of the party– the ones who keep drinking the KOOK-AID, finally declared: that in so much as Darwinism is false– Sarah Palin is true. I guess at that point, the country would split apart along mental health boundaries. At that point it would be truly a test of "the pen being mightier than the sword"

John Q. Cynic   November 30th, 2008 10:46 am ET

Palin doesn't get it…she offers a twenty first century America nothing, but old dusty evangelical ideologies that sucks up our modern culture, that's then replaced with her failing political message. She has a persona that's as attractive as a decomposing corpse left out in the hot Georgia summer time sun.

Randy   November 30th, 2008 10:45 am ET

Give it up Palin your done nobody wants to here from you anymore, but I guess moose hurting is not in season so she's going to try campaining again for a loser.

Roland   November 30th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Obviously she needed some new clothes.

John   November 30th, 2008 10:43 am ET

Keep on showing up Sarah…the democrats appreciate all of your efforts on our behalf!!!

Jim Hall   November 30th, 2008 10:42 am ET

What a village idiot. She is a real unintelligent pushie old bi__h Jim Hall Kansas City Missouri.

S. Bird, Phila., PA   November 30th, 2008 10:42 am ET

A majority of the electorate would appreciate if Govenor Palin goes back to Alaska and stays in Alaska.

Nina in Orlando   November 30th, 2008 10:42 am ET

Oh, God. Please make her GO AWAY! UGH!

Anonymous   November 30th, 2008 10:42 am ET

When Lord, when?? When will this woman stop talking and just go home for good?? When will she shut up so we can stop listening to how STOOPID she is?

We've just had 8 years of STOOPID in the White House, and look where it's taken our nation. Send this woman back to Alaska and make her stay there once and for all!!

We can't afford any more STOOPID in our nation's government… not now, not ever again!!

Elizabeth in Texas   November 30th, 2008 10:40 am ET

Who cares?

B. Fountain   November 30th, 2008 10:39 am ET

When are the media going to get it!?

We are tired of Palin and her raised controversy.

We are tired of hearing about Ms. Beauty Queen.

We are fed up with the politics, lies, stories about this woman who sets everyones teeth on edge.

I am sure with the world crisis, the economy, Christmas, a New President, a leaving President, etc., etc., etc. your news organization could find something better to write about.

Millions of the public (quite a majority woman) cannot see this woman becoming anything more than a figurehead and has been. She has set back woman especially business woman back at least 100 years with her negative behavior on the campaign trail.

CNN find someone else newsworthy. Someone that cares about people. Someone that has a human interest story to tell. Get off the Palin bandwagon for heavens sake.

B. Deal   November 30th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Please let her go away.

Erik from Real Pennsylvania   November 30th, 2008 10:37 am ET

Her own legislature found she abused her power and violated a state ethics law, she can't or won't identify what newspapers she reads, she was tricked by a radio DJ into believing she was talking with the president of France, she didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was, she winks and flirts her way through a national televised debate, her use of the English language makes educated people cringe, she doesn't believe in evolution, and her high-school droput daughter is knocked up by a high-school dropout hooligan boyfriend, in the best Family Values Republican tradition. The woman is a loon.

Denise Cole   November 30th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Oh goodness, why can't she just leave us in peace?? She is obviously an attention wh*re.

sbkilb Ct   November 30th, 2008 10:34 am ET

When will this woman go away!!!!! People of Georgia think very carefully before you vote. The time for change has come,

ED FL:   November 30th, 2008 10:34 am ET

based on my first comment that disappeared I see that CNN is back on their CENSORSHIP MODE WHEN SOMETHING CONTRARY TO THEIR DESIRES OR BIAS IS WRITTE N . It disappears or the page happens to conveniently shut down. Well it did not work with Obama or the demos so put that in your pipe and smoke it. Probably job openings in Russia for censors.

andrew   November 30th, 2008 10:33 am ET

good news there will be great sound bites of this stumbling bumbling bimbo . how desperate does a campaign have to be to invite this retard to help you. please gop make her the rising star !!!!

Brendan H., San Antonio, TX   November 30th, 2008 10:33 am ET

Don't tell me, Sarah,….you can see India from your front porch!!!

I too sing America   November 30th, 2008 10:31 am ET

I'm surprised she could find Georgia on the map.
Go away.

Anonymous   November 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

Can I go back to sleep now

Aaron from Ohio   November 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

It's good to see Sarah still working her magic. The republicans are pretty much a lock to keep the seat in Georgia, but anything that keeps Psycho Sarah in the news makes me happy. When she was first nominated as McCain's VP, I told the guys at work that the race was over. It took about an hour of researching her on the internet to come to that conclusion. She did provide a bounce for McCain that gave him a brief lead in the race and then….she talked. She labored not to make sense, but just to string words together in a sentence that made any sense. Coherence was not on of her strong suits. A pit bull with lipstick, a Josephina Six Pack…the soccer mom from hell. We love you Sarah. Some of the die hard right wingers said Sarah had us democrats running scared…they could see it in our faces. Uh…yeah. That look was incredulity. It wasn't fear.

Ernie   November 30th, 2008 10:30 am ET

Come on all you Palin haters, let's hear it. All worked up over nothing.

Craig   November 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

Good grief! This woman is a joke. I would tell her "Thanks, but no thanks!".

Reality   November 30th, 2008 10:28 am ET

will she please go away !!!! :(

Sue T   November 30th, 2008 10:25 am ET

If he wants to win, he better tell Palin to stay in Alaska…….

Steve   November 30th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Sarah, dear Sarah…this is not a talent competition. This is real work. You can hog the lens all you want, but your answers to the questions during the knowledge competition will show you up. Stick to blowing on a flute. You're much better at that.

ED FL:   November 30th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Mccain down Chambliss to go. Guilliani and Gingrich and a few other [sic] high morality GOP"ERS close by , makes you wonder if the story about greeting male guests in a bathrobe have some validity. Hopefully Sarah might take a liking to the Georgia Peach boys and want to stay and run for governor.

lucy   November 30th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Palin is providing good service to the Democratic party. Thanks to her. Also, thank you for informing the readers with her achievements.

Pat   November 30th, 2008 10:24 am ET

She'll destroy anyone she campaigns for. She must have campaign fever or spotlight mania. I can hear her now with her finger pointed to herself saying "Over here pappa, pappa, papparazzi!"

Zenter   November 30th, 2008 10:22 am ET

ride the wave of sensationalism with no substance

I'm Tired   November 30th, 2008 10:20 am ET

Plezzzz let her go away!!!!!!

yellow dog democrat   November 30th, 2008 10:20 am ET

sheees baaackk!! might as well get used to it – she has a way to stir up the emotions and she motivates the "base" and the GOP is going to use it to the max – enjoy!

G.R.I.T.S - Girl Raised in the South   November 30th, 2008 10:19 am ET

Having this poor excuse for a politician, indeed, a poor excuse for a woman, campaigning with Chambliss will hopefully be a death blow to his campaign. I can't think of a politician that I trust less than her. If Chambliss desires a neo-con theocracy like Palin, he definitely should not win. However, as backwards as the folks in Georgia are, they will probably re-elect the man.

As a Christian, I respect the religious beliefs of all, whether they are Catholic, Protestant, Buddist, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu. However, I do wish that people who aspire to the highest of our political offices would check their religion at the door so as to avoid any appearance of attempting to impose one type of religious values on others. Huckabee, Palin, Jindal, Romney, Bush, and their ilk just don't get that most of us do not want, nor do we need, our government leaders to define morality for us.

Ian   November 30th, 2008 10:18 am ET

Wasn't she the one who was beaten by a landslide a few weeks ago? I'm not sure I'd want her campaigning for me.

democrat from PA   November 30th, 2008 10:18 am ET

Palin is like that mosquito that flies around your ear while you sleep. No matter how many times you try to shoe it away, it still manages to make that annoying noise in your ear. Palin, go back to alaska and stay there.

The Pecan State Pundit   November 30th, 2008 10:18 am ET

Let us all hope that the good voters of Georgia manage to outnumber the other voters of Georgia by dumping Chambliss. Chambliss is just another Conservative who will do what all Conservatives do: try to prevent the country from solving any of its problems.

Those people (Conservatives) have almost destroyed the nation. At first, I thought they were just so stupid that they didn't realize that a ten trillion dollar debt was bankrupting the US. They were running the federal government as if it is an ATM machine for corporate CEOs, as we all know. Now I'm beginning to wonder if destroying the nation is their actual goal. No one can be that stupid.

You Betcha!   November 30th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Guess Chambliss has a wish to lose as McCain did, Sarah is what the GOP is all about, thats why they lost everything this year.

Nando   November 30th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Good send her in then he will surely lose !!!!

She is a BUZZ KILL !

Sue   November 30th, 2008 10:16 am ET

Since I can't post on the last blog about Samantha Powers, I'm going to post it here:
People who keep crying about the "change" Obama is bringing, or isn't bringing… are simply showing that they do not understand anything about politics, whatsoever…
Ans since this blog is about Palin.. I seriously hope that she is the "future" of the Republican party, because Obama will simply win again by another landslide.

Jeff Brown   November 30th, 2008 10:16 am ET

Sarah who?

Georgia for Martin   November 30th, 2008 10:16 am ET

Palin is a witch she made McCain lose why all the loser coming to Georgia to campaign for a racism Palin need to go back to Alaska woods where she can see Russia.

vic   November 30th, 2008 10:14 am ET

Oh, goodie! Just what we need right now – more Palin hate and socialism and race-baiting and lies and slime.
She is a disgusting creature and I refuse to watch or listen to any of her vile, vulgar, rhethoric.
Hillary is getting the Secretary Of State position tomorrow and I hope CNN spends their time discussing Hillary instead of Palin.

SAME OLD STUFF   November 30th, 2008 10:14 am ET

THIS WOMAN IS A JOKE . I DONT KNOW WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT HER TO CAMPAIGN FOR THEM.

SHE IS A LOSER, SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO ALASKA .
GO READ MORE ABOUT AFRICA AND AMERICA

FL for Obama   November 30th, 2008 10:12 am ET

Oh dang…we'd gone – what – 3 days w/o hearing this woman's name? JUST…GO…AWAY!!!
