AllieD—

Wow! The logic is incredible. The market continues to fall due to all of the bad news that the current administration's policies have brought out.

Last week, the market had 5 great days. It was said that happened because Obama announced his economic team. Yesterday stunk. Why? Because as most of us with a clue already knew—we've been in a recession for a year now. But, it was finally announced yesterday.

Your guys made the mess. Our guys are already on the job cleaning up. What is Bush doing?

Jeff in Illinois–

You made the cardinal blogging mistake. You tried to use logic in your argument. It's all about emotional spewing, especially from the right wingers just hoping Obama makes a mistake.

Your maturity has no place here.

Georgia, please get with the program already and kick this bum out. His are the ideas and tactics of old that have failed miserably.

Matt B
Please provide documentation where Obama, Biden or anyone else in the campaign impuned McCain's or Betrayus's patriotism or war injuries. Questioning policy or qualifications is not the same as attacking the character of the person, which is what Chambliss did to Max Cleland. Chambliss is a 4 deferrment draft dodging slime ball. It's time for the people of Georgia to correct what they screwed up so badly in 2002

@ Georgia for Martin – you really aught to try proofreading your blog before you accuse others of being "dummy". Especially in the Geart country of "American"

Yes Palin has a state to run. But Governors leave their home state all the time for trips/meetings/events…. it's as though we have some sort of technology that could keep people connected to far away places… WHOA there I go with some radical thinking that people can MULTI-TASK

Earth to Locutus – The people of Georgia will FINALLY get to voice their opinion on what's good for Georgia. Not the carpetbagging full-time campaigners of BOTH parties, not the press, not even aliens such as you Borg. Please go back to your collective in Star Trek land and let Georgians figure out what's good for Georgia

The sad thing about this race is that Palin will be given credit if this evil politician wins!

The Re…are desperately grabbing at straws now, so they will keep using her!

Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatever a man sows, that shall he reap! Overcome evil with good!

VOTE SAXBY OUT OF TOWN!!

Yep, that is the modern-day U.S. of A.! La-la land! you football watching zombies don't realize that what saves this country is its system of checks and balances. But you all just want to keep drinking the Kool Aid and like groupies, mindlessly cheer your political party's win. That is exactly what happens in Communist regimes, theocracies, dictatorships and Banana Republics. Too much to think about little American robots???

Go, Saxbe, go!!!

Even though I wouldn't vote him, I have a feeling Chambliss will win.

"make sure we shape bad legislation"…….Huh.

It took me 5 minutes to vote this morning in a minority heavy district. That's not a good sign for Martin. Perhaps he would have stood a better chance if Obama hadn't been to busy doling out election paybacks with cabinet appointments..

georgia chambliss said he didn't know what a recession looked like, tell him we have been in one for a year , we've all known it, where has he been, playing golf with the other ceos. VOTE JIM MARTIN.

Dream on Jeff in Illinois..

I would love to see Martin beat Chambliss,period! It's been along time since the democrats have been fillibuster-proof (house/senate-1). This would greatly enhance PE Obama to impliment his"trial programs"with enough lead time to(at least two years) work.

Sarah Palin said what? "… to make sure that we shape bad legislation, …" the woman who stumbles over her tongue all the time because her brain is not connected and has an inflated opinion of her intellect. Wont it just be wonderful that all those "hockeys moms" would love to have her over for tea, but who will govern? Go for it Geogia, make your vote and please put "country first."

To – Allie D December 2nd, 2008 10:51 am ET

The stock market has fallen to its lowest level in 13 years since Obama has been elected. Now he is desperately seeking help from failed, old-guard Democrats. He looks like a deer in the headlights and its obvious he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Georgia, be smart and keep a Republican in office to balance out this upcoming clueless administration.

You sure give President Elect Obama a lot of credit for someone who has a clue. He is not even President yet. The stockmarket being down is due to the fiscal resposibility of George W. Bush and the Republican party for the past 8 years.

PS: You shouldn't call anybody clueless

Don't lose hope Georgia…if we can kick the Repub. knuckle heads out so can you!!!!

Sarah Palin BWAHAHAHAH….That's the best you got?

Georgia please do the right thing and get Martin in the Senate. This Saxby guy sounds very undesirable.

But Allie honey, what about the days proceeding the announcement that we have been in a recession since Dec 2007. What no credit for the climb before that!?! Amazing how stupid, one-sided and bigoted you righties are. Now it's time for all you losers to climb back until Karl Rove fat belly and sleep for 40 years while the adults clean up your mess. Nightie, night Allie!

attention everyone who is accusing the dems of trying to steal the minnesota elections. Have you forgotten a little state called Florida in 2000. That was the real theft. You just need to shut up and stop whining because the American people don't like your party anymore.

"shape bad legislation"? Isn't that what the Republicans have been doing for some time now?

Allie D December 2nd, 2008 10:51 am ET

The stock market has fallen to its lowest level in 13 years since Obama has been elected.

Allie, you and the genius who says he's proud he voted against the distribution of his paycheck need to get a lot more informed on economics. His paycheck was restributed before he even cashed it, if his employer isn't breaking the law. And the economic meltdown started as far back as January of 2006 when the Bush administration ignored warnings that the banking industry was in danger of collapse. Blame belongs to the president whose butt is in the oval office chair right now, not the president elect who hasn't even taken office yet.

COME ON GEORGIA DEMS!!! You can do it!!!

I was not surprised to see the whoever's show up for Saxby but I was shocked to see McCain the war hero show up. Saxby attacked Max Clelland(a TRUE war hero),and this will not be forgotten.
Did you forget McCain, that you yourself told Saxby off about his attack on Max???????? Or do you just not care,now?????
As far as Saxby wanting Palin there…..she showed up because of her own ambition……..,but she should realy avoid the mic.
Tina has more stuff now.
Then the Gov. meeting…..and again she went to the mic…..oh well.

Go Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's that Charlie Daniels song….'The Devil went Down to Georgia?'

Isnt Palin's 15 minutes up yet?????

I truly hope this Saxby guy looses and maybe this can teach all these republican's a lesson that Palin is not answer "don't they get it?????

To all you Georgians that voted for Obama and may not be too motivated to get out and vote for Martin…
Remember all the nasty stuff Chambliss did to Max Cleland and vote AGAINST Chambliss!!!!!

"Carter wasn't in the military "

Sorry, meant to say Carter never fought during a war.

Terry … I hope you're right, but I still am thinking Saxby will win. I live in Roswell and early voted last week.

Unfortunately I have a feeling Saxby is going to win. I voted for Martin, but the majority of people I know voted for Saxby. There is just something about Georgians and their overwhelming love for the Republican Party. Personally, I don't get it. Don't get me wrong, as a Moderate Independent I do vote Republican some time, but I stayed as far away from the Republican Party this election as I could seeing as how they seem to be behind most of the troubles (especially with regards to the economy) this country is having.

As a democrat I would like to see Martin win the GA Senate seat, but living & knowing southerns I feel certain that Chambliss will win….southern republicans are very head strong & most think GW has done a very good job as president so they could really care less about the type of job someone does they just want republicans in office….and yes most think Palin is the best thing that has ever happened for the GOP…Most republicans think what Chambliss said about Cleland is true because a republican said it…..I am so glad to be an open minded democrat…

Jim Martin is nothing but a slimy weasel….

Let's see, he's FAILED in his attempts to run for Secretary of State, then Lt. Governor, now he wants to play Senator. All of you attacking Saxby Chambliss haven't had to sit and listen to slimy Jim Martin's ads, which have been played ad nauseum.

And don't forget, Jim Martin has Ludicrous backing him LMAO! What a joke!

Hopefully after tonight we can finally rid ourselves of Jim Martin….hopefully his 3rd election loss will say bye bye to this weasel for good!

All racist have to stick together. Only problem is they do it in the name of "christianity" which makes it OK to hate as that's what God wants christians to do.

"…John McCain had her for his campaign, It was not a smart thing to do ,hindsight being 20/20…"

Palin saved McCain from a 15 point loss. Latest returns show Obama 53% and McCain 46%.

Vote for Jim Martin, not only do they both have law degrees,
Martin is a Vietnam vet, and put off his education to serve his country.
A true Hero.

Chambliss received 5 deferments, while in school. When the deferments ran out he was given a medical deferment from service because he hurt a keen playing games.
Like a JAG lawyer needs to be in the same shape as a combat ground pounder. Chambliss a true coward.

Georgians better recognize Palin isn't speaking about them but about herself only and if they need better education you won't get it from Palin because she and her family have none.

Jeff in Illinois…

If you Dems like paying takes so much and consider it patriotic, why wait for the tax code to be changed. Send in the extra money. Go right ahead.

Better yet, send it to me. I'll mail it in for you.

"Shape bad legislation?" Isn't t that what the Republicans have been doing over the last eight years? ( Who will be telling Governor Palin how to determine whether legislation is bad enough for her to " shape"?)

Hate to inform you , Allie D., but PE Obama is NOT President yet. If you want to cast blame for the crisis in the market, look to the current administration. They are in charge of this fiasco. They have been in charge since this recession began in December of 2007. Their poor record of mismanagement is one reason Americans voted for Barack Obama. Well, that and Sarah Palin's "qualifications"…

"…Why does the media keep trying to imply Sarah is so popular, when only a couple of thousand people usually show up for her events? This really is not a lot; it is nothing like the 100 thousand that would show up to hear Obama…."

It is SIGNIFICANTLY more than would show up to hear Joe Biden.

Palin helps Saxby defeat Martin! ha ha. Awesome. Even Barry O couldn't do anything about it.

Now ask yourselves…if she was really such a big nothing, then how could she have had this impact on the race?

Some people let their dislike of Republicans blind them to reality. And the reality is that Sarah Palin isn't going anywhere.

It is unfortunate, but likely, that the radical reactionary forces, i.e., Republicans, in Georgia will turn out in sufficient numbers to re-elect the cowardly, bigoted, ignorant, mentally deficient, morally reprobate, treasonous, un-American pitiful excuse for a human being, Saxy Chambliss, to the U. S. Senate. However, as an American who devoutely believes in our democratic values and way of life, I remain hopeful that today even the people of Georgia will chose to vote for our future.

Georgia needs to show the rest of the country that it does have some common sense.

Having Palin campaign for him was a good idea.

She energizes the Republican base. Her job is to help get them out to vote. At this stage, convincing a Democrat to vote Republican is not the agenda. There is little chance of it. It is all about turnout.

GEORGIA VOTE JIM MARTIN.

"It may just be me, but is sure seems like there are a lot of Reps who DECIDED (remember Bush is the "decider") not to go to war but want to send our sons and daughters off to fight."

Hey Roofin, Clinton wasn't in the military at all, yet he sent our soldiers overseas to fight. Carter wasn't in the military but he let civilian hostages sit and get tortured like prisoners of war and sent aid to Afghanistan against the Russians. Again, please educate yourself before you make ridiculous posts.

Bush has a rating of 26% last time I checked. That means most Republicans and all moderates like myself think he did a terrible job. It doesn't mean every Republican Senator or every Republican governor would do a bad job. People like you need to stop voting for a party and start voting principals. In this case, it could very well be to kick Chambliss out of office, but not just for being a Republican.

Georgia voter
OK I stand corrected. I did not mean Georgians by and large. I meant these loonies who voted for Palin and company. I'm sorry but I can't for the life of me understand the attraction. It's obvious that there is something sadly lacking in the intelligence of anyone who can't see through this whining spoilt woman Sarah (If I only had a brain) Palin. It's got to be the color thing with Obama. Of course Palin trades on that by formenting hatred by lying about it. Hopefully someone will see through this thinly framed moron so she can go back to Alaska and take care of her daughter. Sadly this wont happen bacause she has had a taste of fame and fortune, which was why she entered a beauty contest in the first place,. It must have really pissed her off to lose and now we are all paying for it

With Palin on your side who needs enemies. This woman is poison, period.

I am always amazed that people who would never dream of making gross generalizations based on race or gender are so eager to do so when bashing Southerners. I guess it makes you guys feel better about yourselves somehow. How pathetic.
The fact is that Chambliss took a page from Rove's play book when he faced Max Cleeland in the last election. The current Republican administration has repeatedly shown themselves to be greedy, unscrupulous, blatantly deceitful and indifferent to the needs of our nation's people.
I just hope Obama has everything he needs to put our nation back on track. I believe he will give his all in trying.

Saxby is a disgrace! And PLEASE the stock market is dropping because we have been in a recession since Dec of 2007, NOT because of OBAMA. Those trying to link the 2 only show their stupidity and ignorance of basic economics!
Saxby is going on the air saying that he has reached across the isle to Democrats, and then runs another add saying we MUST stop Obama. Hey, how is that bi-partisian?? My company receives at least 5 robocalls from the GOP.
Plus, look at Georgia and education! We are next to last in the country, and that is why we have Saxby. The Georgians are too STUPID to vote appropriately. I am not originally from GA and hate the ignorance and racism that is bred down here by the inbred, mouthbreathing, redneck, rebel flag waving SCUM (also known as the Georgia GOP party). Hell, I had one tell me that Iowa was an island somewhere!

OMG, another Palin quote:
" We want to make sure we have at least 41 Republicans in the United States Senate to make sure that we shape bad legislation, or kill bad legislation."

Another example of her inept public speaking ability– "to make sure we shape bad legislation". So that's the Republicans' plan– to "shape bad legislation". I'm impressed.

Aren't we about to finally get rid of the verbal dilbert who has been in the White House the last 8 years? Why would anyone want to consider putting another one (Palin) in there? The woman is a dunce.

DEMOCRATS IN GEORGIA— GET OUT & VOTE TODAY. CALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY. TAKE THEM TO THE POLLS.

ck:

Let me get this right; if a democrat wins they are stealing the election?

samkell: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. I bet her crowd was huge and completely devoid of rational thought. The sheeple are back in the building…

So RealityKing you voted Dem or Libertarian?

I really do get rather tired of my tax money being redistributed to the rich and corporations.

Where's my bailout!

The lies that Republican Saxby Chambliss told about Max Cleland should be enough for Georgians to vote Saxby out of office and elect Jim Martin. Democrat Max Cleland was a real hero and they lied about him just like they did about Senator John Kerry, another real hero. The truth is that the only thing that Saxby is good at, is lying.

WHO IS JOHN GALT?

Please post and don't leave me in moderation, please please please.

samkell — you represent what's wrong with this State. Ignorance to the max. That Palin person is a dunce who should've had a career in broadcasting and nothing more.

GA, stuck in stupid — you and your Repubs. are all STUCK IN STUPID.

Also, anyone voting for someone that chastized Max Cleland for being unpatriotic isn't fit to be a member of our Government. You all are hypocrits.

Oh and another thing, why don't I hear a Republican outcry about Palin being a "rock star," when you couldn't wait to come down on Obama for the same thing. HYPOCRITS YOU ALL ARE.

Saxby Chambliss smeared Max Cleland a decorated Vietnam vet that left three of his limbs over there. His treatment of Cleland was beneath contempt. Since Palin is supporting Chambliss, and using typical Republican logic, that would mean Palin does not support the troops or our war heroes. Someone needs to ask her a "gotcha" question about this one

THE JIM MARTIN UNIT WILL PREVAIL. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Doesn't Palin have a state to run? Or does Alaska not need a Governor?

I just voted for Jim Martin we out in drove to stop Saxby/Palin the 2 dummy people in American.

Martin going to win

RealityKing December 2nd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Proud to say that I voted against the redistribustion of my hard earned paycheck.
———————————————————————————————-

Well I'm happy for you and your $250,000+ annual income, even though you may have to pay an extra $0.03 on every dollar OVER $250k that you earn.

I for one, as a person earning around $125k/year and as a fiscal conservative, will be happy if the top 1% see an increase back to the pre-Dubya tax rates, to help stop the selling out of our nation to foreign interests (i.e. DEBT)

CNN, Please post this. Too many people do not understand how taxes and budgets work and are horribly mis-informed.

Don't forget to bring Joe Six Pack ,Joe the Plumber ,Joe the Idiot, etc Palin needs the "big guns" on this campaign visit. Saxby take a reality check, John McCain had her for his campaign, It was not a smart thing to do ,hindsight being 20/20

Caribou Barbie go home!

I just voted. Including the drive, it took 20 minutes.

Of the 10 or 11 voters I saw there, 5 were african-american. (And my daughter and I both voted democratic).

This in Alpharetta, one of the most heavily republican (and least african-american) areas in the state.

Looks good for Jim!

I was very happy to cast my ballot for Martin today. I hope we as in the USA can get this country back on the right track.

Kevin December 2nd, 2008 10:42 am ET

the last thing we need is to give full, unencumbered, control to the liberal left representeed by Obama-Pelosi-Reed. Thank God Georgians will likely do the right thing and prevent this. We sure can't count on the crazy people in Minnesota.
—————–

So, let me get this straight: The citizens in Minnesota are crazy, but the citizens in Georgia aren't stupid? You don't want the posters on this board to denegrate Georgians, but it's okay to denegrate Minnesotans? What tripe.

Chambliss has it tough because of what the Republican Party has supported for the last eight years and he chooses to condone that by having Sarah Palin, who represents nothing but more of the same, support him. We all need to encourage the Republican Party to become more centered and moderate and to responsibly represent all of the people rather than being focused on just Special Interests, a select few and a dogmatic ideology that fails the people but furthers the insiders' goals.

From the tone of the comments, it looks like Chambliss is going to win this one. Why else would there be so much hatred and name calling from the left regarding Palin.

I guess its OK for the Dems to have high-profile people campaigning in Georgia for their guy, e.g. Bill and Hillary, but its not OK for the Republicans to do the same thing! What a bunch of hypocrites you Democrats are.

any veteran that votes for chambliss should be ashamed of themselves.

The ONLY base Palin appeals to is the radical religeous right wing and skinheads and this scares me to death!!!!

It is a little sad to see people attack the people of the great state of Georgia. I didn't only a certain elite peoples' opinion matter in a election, thought this was a democracy or something.

And all of this about Chambliss ruining an America Hero's name, isn't John McCain a hero? And didn't Barack Obama attack him?

"We want to make sure we have at least 41 Republicans in the United States Senate to make sure that we shape bad legislation,…."

"…we shape bad legislation,…" is what the Republicans have fostered whether or not they're the majority or minority party in the Senate. Senators know that they have to be bipartisan to get things done for the country. Something Palin knows nothing about.

Shall we let her go back to Alaska for good? You betcha!

I am a life long democrat who loves Sarah Palin. She gave this election to Barack Obama. She is a polarizing figure who is incapable of reaching independents and cross over votes. Sarah for 2012! She and Mike Huckabee will split the conservative vote and leave the Republican party in disarray making it easy for President Obama to get re-elected. Go Sarah!!!!!!

Why is there no reporting on the fact that Coleman has increased his lead on Franken to 344 votes with over 91% of the votes recounted in MN? There are about 6,000 contested ballots which are about evenly split between the 2 candidates, which can still decide things, but it has been noted that manyof the challenges will be tosses as frivolous leaving much fewer disputed ballots to actually figure out.

Palin is such a moron, still can't speak a sentence without mangling the language. She should seriously go home and stay there.

Or not. Every time she speaks another outdated corrupt bigoted Repub looses.

Peace.

I hope Martin and Franken win. Then, no Republicans will be able to oppose senate moves that will actually help us.

@ ck

Typical republican rhetoric. When you people have done something wrong, you always blame the other side for doing it as if by fabricating something and saying it enough times it becomes the truth.

Leave
Out
Liars

Susan:

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need to move on from the mid -evil, dark lord times.

Vote for Martin.

@ Matt B

Yes, we're serious. First, McCain raised his arms in the air at every stump event, but his staff basically claimed he couldn't use a computer because he couldn't lift them to put them on his desk. Then they said he helped invent the Blackberry. Idiotic. Second, Pitri-Dish is a political wannabe who parroted whatever he was told by our Imbecile in Chief. That says everything about him. Third, Chambliss directly and nastily attacked the patriotism of a crippled veteran. You'd think you guys would have learned by now, but hey, keep it up, the more you "stay the course" with your political attack strategies, the more us Dems are going to keep winning.

Matt B,
So, once again, your justification for hatred and injustice is "they did it first!"?
What a little crybaby you are. Be a man and stand up for ALL our veterans, regardless of party. Don't they ALL deserve to be treated with respect?

Palin??? Are you serious…Why dose this Senator wan't Govenor Palin? She is ignorant. God, the Republican party is not at a strong state. Palin is just going to take more votes away from the Republican that is running, than helping him. Just like she did to Senator John McCain, during the Presidential election.

Georgia, Rock the Vote!

"I'm not sure what a recession looks like" – Saxby Chambliss.

Saxby needs to take off his Grand Wizard hood and robe, leave the burning cross in the woods, drive back into any community and see the people suffer.

It is suffering Saxby, Bush and all you Republican cronies brought about.

"We want to make sure we have at least 41 Republicans in the United States Senate to make sure that we shape bad legislation, or kill bad legislation."

Is that a typo, CNN? Republicans are planning to shape bad legislation?

grahame wrote: "Of course Georgians, noted for their lack of intelligence will listen to this nonsense."
Please don't judge all Georgians in this manner. I am very proud to have voted for Obama, a very intelligent and cool-headed man. I will also vote for Martin today. Making blanket judgements about certain groups is always a bad idea. There are stupid people in every state.

Since the Dems couldnt STEAL the Minnasota election, guess they are pulling out all the stops to try and STEAL this one…

Good Luck!

LOL

@ samkell – Of course Palin would draw a big crowd of rednecks and snagatooth clowns in Georgia….I'm sure the smart people in Georgia will do the right thing.

*****
Good Luck to James Martin ….
**
Saxby is a sleazy unethical goog ole buy …oooppss.. boy..!

The best way to defeat Saxby Chambliss 3rd (don't you just love the name) is to have Max Cleland come out and publically support Martin.

Saxby , the idiot, should not be a ble to get away with his treatment of Max, a real hero.

If Saxby Chambliss does win will be because the republicans do their usual hateful song and dance. But, it won't make much of a difference at this point, the republicans don't have a lot of credibility nor power. It is a NEW DAY with or without Chambliss!

You're a real peach. Probably claim to be a Christian too? Do you make a good wage? Could you do that in a country that didn't give you the education and opportunities that America does? Now you're not willing to give a small portion of what you make to help your fellow Americans and your country?
You're a real patriot.

@ RealityKing

Actually, you haven't and didn't. You are taxed now and will be taxed in the future and all that tax you pay is, guess, yeah, redistributed. If you really believe in what you're saying, please refuse to pay your taxes AT ALL and go to directly to jail without collecting a public defender.

Sarah Palin will become another LOOSER after 7PM Tonight. How many blows can this woman take? How many blow jobs can she do?

Does Sarah even know what legislation means? Lol….Nah

GEESH will PAIN-IN (Palin) just go away. I think there is a handicaped child at home with other children that needs thier mother…Oops…forgot, Trig really isnt her son

Chambliss absolutely needs to go if for no other reason than he got 5 deferrments and then impugned the integity of a guy who lost 3 limbs fighting in the war he avoided going to.
I think President Bush (yes, he's still President until Jan 20 at 12 noon Eastern) also dodged going off to combat while in a Southern State (Alabama) National Guard.
And didn't VP Cheney also NOT go off to war?
It may just be me, but is sure seems like there are a lot of Reps who DECIDED (remember Bush is the "decider") not to go to war but want to send our sons and daughters off to fight.

Get Chambliss out of there Georgia. As Spike Lee would say "Do the Right Thing."

"It still saddens me that Georgians allowed Chambliss to besmirch the name of an American hero in the last election. "

not a big deal – Are you serious? This after an election year where people mocked McCain's injuries…the fact that he can't raise his arms due to the torture he received and his age. This after a year where the left referred to General Patraeus by the name General Betray Us. You are kidding, right?

It's simple, ANYONE who dares to attack the patriotism of a VETERAN should not be allowed to go in public with a 'Hollier than thou!' attitude, specially if he or she is a draft-dodger.
i am not saying that VETERANS are always right or anything like that, hey they're human beings and human beings make errors and mistakes… no big deal with that. I can disagree with a VETERAN, with a whole bunch of VETERANS, if I disagree with him/her/them. No problem.
But I will not accept ANYONE who says that a VETERAN doesn't deserves RESPECT. Someone like Saxby Chambliss…

We love Sarah down here in Georgia. She is one of us, an average American, someone that still does her own taxes. And that's important to us country folk because we don't trust them millionaire washington insiders. You see…, we remember the 70's.

Palin supporters: Tell us the rest of us one specific thing she has explicitely explained she believes in, besides being anti-abortion and hating gays. Tell us. You can't because all of her campaign appearances were 100% about attacking President-Elect Obama. She's a hick, stupid cow, elected governor with a 17% turnout of voters. And you wanted her to be VP. And were the attacks on Max Cleland coming from a true patriot? I think not. They were coming from a bigoted, narrow-minded man who doesn't know a thing about governing.

What amazes me is that Sarah Palin failed and yet she is treated as a conquering hero…why??? Her intelligence may hide behind her terrible verbal skills but how would you ever know? She cannot express her ideas – not even what books or magazines she reads. Why would you think she has any idea what is good for Georgians when she has barely left Alaska in her life?

"Of course Georgians, noted for their lack of intelligence "

Grahame, you are the perfect example of an elitist lefty who will sway this country back over to the right. With that said, try to keep your mouth shout and your fingers off the keyboard.

Both sides have worked hard for this election. Obama cut ads and sent several of his staff down to Georgia. McCain and Palin showed up for the Republicans. As a moderate, I'm glad to see the Democrats losing this election…a filibuster-proof Senate is not what this country needs. We need atleast a slight check and balance.

If Palin could actually formulate whole sentences using punctuation and be able to do more than spew talking points the Republicans might have a chance with her in 2012 at the top of the ticket. The fact that she polls better than all other candidates amongst Republicans is very telling about the Republican elctorate's mentality. Please Palin in 2012!! It will be soooo good for the Democrats to have to run intelligence vs ideology in these times.

Hello Samkel
Obviously you are on ther wrong side of evolution, so may I humbly suggest you go back to your swamp land. OH! Please take Sarah nut-job with you

To When does the hatred end?,

Nice name!

This from a probable conservative whose life's blood is hatred. Years of Clinton bashing, gay bashing, immigrant bashing and race baiting keeps that conservative heart pumping doesn't it? And you'll likely say that Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and Ann Coulter are prime examples of the love and kindness that comes from conservatives. No hate there! LOL!

Wow – I'm sure glad the haters still have a venue to bash Palin, Republicans, etc. You should call the ticker "Catharsis, cont'd."

Proud to say that I voted against the redistribustion of my hard earned paycheck.

Watch all the rednecks vote for a draft dodging liar like chambliss.

Saxby Chambliss, bless his heart, he is a sharp as a sack of wet mice. God, if he wins, this will be the night the lights went out in Georgia.

Stupid is stupid does that's Palin for you! Go away half baked alaskan!!!!!!

Yes definitely we need 41 Republicansin the Senate to "shape bad legislation"

i found the comment that georgians are stupid a stupid comment. i was raised in nyc and live in southwest colorado. culturally i`m closer to the canadians than to people in the deep south, but having lived in georgia, central florida and western texas i know that southerners are by no means stupid. that was an ignorant, uninformed comment probably from someone who has never been there.

Palin is pimping for the Repugs again !!!!! What an airhead.

This is not a vital victory for Dems. I'm sure the GOP will win and build it up more than it is. I guess when the Washington Generals win you ought to celebrate, but that doesn't change the direction of the country.

It still saddens me that Georgians allowed Chambliss to besmirch the name of an American hero in the last election. Chambliss has a big mark on his honor and patriotism in my book. He owes someone an apology or he ought not put a flag in his lapel.

I hope the good citizens of Georgia send a message to Chambliss that his tactics and his brand of politics are over! No more trashing of war heroes and claiming that they are soft on terrorism please. No more claiming that he is the last line of defense toward the Democrats when Democrats won all over the nation to get things done. The primary reason that he gave to voters to elect him was that he could stop things from being done No more Chambliss.

Hey Sam, maybe you should tell Saxby and the Gov to stop attacking character. After what he did to Max and she did to Obama, I'd think that an apparently thoughtful person would reject their rhetoric.
Or are you only down on those who oppose your point of view?

I don't like the idea of any party having a 60 vote majority and, were Martin running against Johnny Isakson, Johnny would get my vote. But Chambliss is the single WORST US Senator out there right now.

When does the hatred end? December 2nd, 2008 10:21 am ET
Another opportunity to bash Sarah Palin?
Yippee!
+++++++++++++++++++++
If she goes away, we won't say anything bad about her. If she stays, we have no choice but to point out the obvious.

VOTE Georgians!

Doesn't Sarah Palin have more important things to do than speak to her base of sub-80 IQ dimwits? Like, say, run her State (last in education) and take care of her kids? But I'm guessing that in her gnat brain, campaigning for a draft dodger and slanderer and keeping herself in the spotlight are more important.

Not only is Chambliss a draft dodger, but he dishonored a real war hero, he is a disgrace to be in the US Senate, I sure hope he doesn't get in. Palin should stay far away in Alaska and never return to the 48 states, she is not needed, she hasn't even gone back to her duties in Alaska, what kind of a person is she anyway, a real disgrace to America.

Chammbliss will win, he has to. The libs have to much power and we already see how much they do…nothing!

I keep getting emails from the GOP and the one I got today claims that democratic beliefs are against "Freedom". By chance has he been asleep during the past 8 years while Bush has taken away habeus corpus, sanctioned and encouraged torture, arrested those who have dared to question his policy and some who gave their sons to his war? Oh yeah, the GOP ("Gross Obsessed Party") has freedom in mind, just not in this Country.

Bringing in Palin is smart politics. The Republicans need the Evangelical trailer- trash ignorant racist illiterate hick vote (more commonly referred to as "their base"), and Sarah has a natural affinity with that crowd.

Even if the Republican party wins it will do them very little good. The 44th President is forming a coalition government of competent people regardless of party. He is organizing the country first from the ground up via his primary and election process now from the top down involving states in an interactive relationship with the Federal government. The Presidency will be forever changed and we will no longer; we can no longer ever allow an out of touch, self absorbed, simple minded and arrogant man to occupy that office again. It causes way to much damage I trust Georgia will remember who controlled congress (1998-2006) and the white house (2001-2008) the majority of the past decade.

PLEASE…….. People of Georgia………. REJECT THE VILE POLITICS OF THE REPUBLICAN…….. HATE, LIES, FEAR AND DIVISION!

VOTE FOR CHANGE

VOTE FOR HOPE

VOTE FOR UNITY

THANK YOU, PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, FOR VOTING FOR CHANGE!

More words of wisdom from Governor Palin "We want to make sure we have at least 41 Republicans in the United States Senate to make sure that we shape bad legislation, or kill bad legislation." Alaska you must be so proud!!

These aren't the last votes of the 2008 election.

Two Congressional districts in Louisiana are voting on Saturday.

Georgia will vote Republican . I fear that they average GA. voter cannot think far enough in front of their faces to realize that another Republican Senator from their state will not bring much bang to a Democratically controlled Washington. It will be very hard to get onto the cash bandwagon with CONSERVATIVE SENATORS. This is a missed opportunity and frankly, Georgia will get what they deserve. Federal Tax dollars coming from Gerorgia will go to Ohio, Pennsylvanina, Michigan, etc. NO ONE from Georgia will carry much weight on needs that the Ga.constiuents will need. Simple solution would be a Senator from each party …..now that is Checks and Balances. These folks need to read more and think !!!

She draws large crowds of Neo-Con backward thinking people.

I predict that Sarah Palin will be a "LOOSER" yet again.How stupid can you get by risking your future that has already been a disaster for further setbacks. If Chambliss was a profitable commidity for Georgia then he would not have asked for reinforcements. The people of Georgia wants "CHANGE" and Martin represents that along with the Democratic Party.

Well it is for sure that Martin will win the election today with Sarah down there holding her hate rallys. I suppose she was bashing Obama too. Wonder how many of her family members went along. Wonder if she brought her grandchild along. We all know that Sarah never gave birth to him.

Vote please vote. Help Georgia come out from the Plantation.
Please vote

Chanbliss,

Voted NO on $100M to reduce teen pregnancy by education & contraceptives.

Voted YES on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad

Voted NO on maintaining right of habeas corpus in Death Penalty Appeals.

Voted NO on shifting $11B from corporate tax loopholes to education.

Yeah – the robocalls won't stop.

Like Susan (10:03 am), I think Chambliss is the scum of the earth for how he has treated Max Cleland, the families of the injured people from the sugar plant, his draft dodging ways, his failure to support our veterans at every opportunity… It was pretty funny to hear Palin congratulate the baboon for "support of our troops" yesterday – she read the script, but hasn't a clue of how he has actually voted… Another example of Republican talking points, but no substance below them.

Get out and vote GA and think long and hard about the incompetence and lies you're endorsing if you're even tempted to vote for Chambliss…

The stock market has fallen to its lowest level in 13 years since Obama has been elected. Now he is desperately seeking help from failed, old-guard Democrats. He looks like a deer in the headlights and its obvious he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Georgia, be smart and keep a Republican in office to balance out this upcoming clueless administration.

“Recent gallop poll showed that she had the highest percentage of people who were polled on who they wanted to be on the presidential ticket for 2012. How can you argue with that?” Well, I’m glad you like Gallop polls so much. Here is another one for you: Recent Gallop poll showed that 61 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Republican Party.

Palin need to go to Alaska and fix that no where bridge issue we Georgian's do not want her here she is awful for this country..

Obama will be a good president….How palin going to help Saxby win and she is loser…she need to help Bristol delivery that black baby

This "man" called Max Cleland, a triple amputee from the Viet Nam war, unpatriotic. This is not a man who deserved one term in the Senate. Come on Georgia, do the right thing.

Georgia…you already fell for Saxby's song and dance once–a draft dodger who had the gall to attack a decorated war veteran and multiple amputee for his patriotism…

The question that will be answered at 7PM tonight is…JUST HOW STUPID are you people?

The fact that you show up in droves for a vapid, right-wing nutjob like Palin doesn't bode well for what might happen in this runoff…but I hold out hope that more intelligent heads will prevail and Georgia will join the ranks of the nation seeking change rather than status quo.

Saxby is disgusting. I hope Martin wins today.

Between McCain and Chambliss, its a wonder they don't have Palin do a striptease to get elected!!! Will the Republicans ever do anything honorable or continue pimping for votes???

@ samkell

The only people polled were Republicans and 67% said they want Palin on the ticket in 2012. Now, you might think that I'm implying that a poll of Democrats would produce a result of 0%, but what you fail to realize is that Palin is such a prancing political powderkeg for your party that a poll of Democrats would probably produce something like 90%+ wanting her to be your nominee in 2012.

Go ahead. Run her. We dare you.

When is Sarah Palin going back to Alaska to do her job as Governor. She was not in Georgia for Chambliss; she was there for herself. I find it amazing that so many Republicans support her. She ran a very negative and divisive campaign for VP. That turned off many people – Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

Why does the media keep trying to imply Sarah is so popular, when only a couple of thousand people usually show up for her events? This really is not a lot; it is nothing like the 100 thousand that would show up to hear Obama.

the last thing we need is to give full, unencumbered, control to the liberal left representeed by Obama-Pelosi-Reed. Thank God Georgians will likely do the right thing and prevent this. We sure can't count on the crazy people in Minnesota.

So they sent for Sarah Palin who insists that Obama will raise taxes.
Of course Georgians, noted for their lack of intelligence will listen to this nonsense. I remember a film called 'Deliverence' which even if it wasn't in Georgia makes the argument. The final point is that it really doesn't matter if the Republicans win or not. The damage to the Republicans is a done deal. This is underscored by the appearance of Sarah Palin who, as the standard bearer for the Republican party only underscores the level of intelligence within the party itself. And yes the people who voted for her are just a load of uneducated idiots.
Being folksy is not a guarantee of political smarts where control of the white house is concerned.

And the remark about censorship gets in, while the real posts get blocked. You guys are the real pros, aren't you? What profession was that?

The filibuster is the most useless, obstructionist item in the congressional menu. It was used by the segregationists to great advantage to hold this country in the dark ages of hate and separatism. It does not surprise me, the desparation exhibited by the likes of Sarah Palin in her pleas to keep it alive. As a Georgian and a Democrat, I hope that I can be proud of my state again should we send Martin to the Senate and send the sleeze monger Chambless to the past. We should never forget the campaign he ran against Max Cleland and how he continually voted against our vets – and Palin has the nerve to call him a great supporter of our military. He is a supporter of war not the men fighting it. Go Martin

I sincerely hope the people in Georgia will rise up and bring democracy (via the Democrats) back to this state! They must really be hurting to ask Sarah Palin to help Chambliss to get re-elected!

After the despicable way he treated Max Cleland, he deserves to be thrust out of this job, and let someone capable take over! (Just like
the majority of the country did to the repubs in general!)

Anyway, "Failin' Palin" wouldn't know good legislation from bad anyway!

GO MARTIN! YOU CAN WORK WITH OBAMA TO REALLY HELP THE PEOPLE IN GEORGIA! THEY NEED HELP JUST LIKE ALL THE REST OF US!

Two words: GOODBYE RACIST.

It's not 'Folksy', 'Winky', or 'Cute' to be the Princess of America's Uneducated Poor White Trash. The global media and much of the world were laughing at Sarah Palin for being such a whipped government mule for the McCain campaign. Palin's Klan rallies sadly showed the true colors of conservative America.

I hope Martin wins tomorrow. The 1950s are over.

Why did he need so many people to come down and rally for him? Is his reputation that bad?

Saxby Chambliss smeared Max Cleland a decorated Vietnam vet that left three of his limbs over there. His treatment of Cleland was beneath contempt. Since Palin is supporting Chambliss, and using typical Republican logic, that would mean Palin does not support the troops or our war heroes. Someone needs to ask her a "gotcha" question about this one

I am so sick of these stupid ignorant liberals to I am leaving the
country for at least the next four years. I just can't take it.

Common folks this is a chance to deliver GA to Obama!!! Rarely do you have two chances! Go Martin!!!

Even if Chambliss wins, this extra publicity has made the world aware of what a piece of garbage he really is!

Go Martin!

Go America!

Hey – a community organizer like Obama can become President, and nobody knew his name 2 years ago, just think where Palin's gonna be in 2012…she just keeps stayin' in the news…you bet'cha.

And it's you Liberals that will guarantee she stays a household name.

Please don't change a thing.

I live in Georgia and voted for Chambliss. We must stop the complete Democratic takeover of Congress!!!

Whether you like them or not, balanced government is critical to prevent one party from initiating pork barrel legislation and the Democrats have a long history of such antics. Not only Georgia, but Minnesota's race comes due shortly. In Minnesota the count is still in favor of the incumbent after thousnads of votes were challenged and ruled on and yet the comedian is still suggesting that if he loses, it won't be graceful, but rather there will be a lawsuit. It isn't over yet folks.

Good luck today, Georgia, in removing yourself from Dumbf-kistan.

Actually, Susan, she did draw BIG crowds as I was fortunate enough to attend the event in Duluth yesterday, and it was wonderful! Everyone cheering for Chambliss and Palin. You all need to become informed. Palin has many supporters, and she is here to stay and I am very thankful for that. Recent gallop poll showed that she had the highest percentage of people who were polled on who they wanted to be on the presidential ticket for 2012. How can you argue with that? This blog should not be a place for negative comments attacking someone's character! Attack the issues instead.
Georgian for Chambliss today and Palin 2012!

You betcha. Gotta shape that there bad legislation.

Well, here is Sarah the Impaler back again touting for Chambliss….if she does a good a job for him as she did for McCain., seeing as he lost…I would think Chambliss will be sorry she ever showed up!!!!

anyone who attacked Max Cleland the way Chambliss did in the last election deserves to be run out of town on a rail.
I do hope that the people of Georgia wake up and realize what a waste he is.

Death to the GOP

Another opportunity to bash Sarah Palin?
Yippee!

Does anyone else want Sarah Palin to return to Alaska and stay there? I think one has to be desperate or scared to ask her to speak for them. The people of Georgia will either hire or fire Chambliss. It will not make any difference who speaks for either candidate involved in this race. It is amazing we are still talking about races with four weeks left in the year. Americans grew very weary with the Republicans and their bad legislation and the legislation they shaped over the last eight years. Palin needs to disappear for a long time and stop talking.

DROP DEAD YOU BUMB YOU TRASH MAX CLEALAN (SPELLING) A VIETNAM VET LIKE ME. WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE WAR SAXBY 4 FEATHERS TO YOU.

Go Saxby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the people of Georgia vote for Martin so that the state can finally be pulled into the 21st century.

"…We want to make sure we have at least 41 Republicans in the United States Senate to make sure that we shape bad legislation, or kill bad legislation."

Republicans have already shaped bad lesgislation, guv.

This loud mouth is back again? The GOP must be very desperate to have her campaign for Chambliss. I hope he loses it.

How sad that this race became another media even for stupid Palin.

This will be Palins last hurrah.She made a serious error backing this guy and it will come back to haunt her.

Palin did not draw huge crowds. I wish she had never come here. As for Chambliss, for the past 5 days, I have gotten on average 5 robocalls per day with the GOP trashing Martin and Obama, and Chambliss as being the best thing since sliced bread. I have had it – I don't even answer my phone anymore. thank God this is over today. I only hope enough Democrats vote today to get rid of Chambliss. After his attack against Max Cleland, I have despised this good ole boy bigot!
