Sarah Palin coming to Atlanta on Monday
Will campaign with Chambliss across Georgia

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will come to Georgia next week to campaign for incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss on the eve of the runoff election.

Palin, who drew large crowds while running for vice president with Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. John McCain, will appear at Chambliss rallies in Augusta, Savannah, Perry and Atlanta on Monday, the day before the Dec. 2 senate runoff between Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin.

The Atlanta rally has been tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m., but the location had not be determined Tuesday morning.

Palin has been lambasted by the left, but she is immensely popular with many conservative voters. The McCain-Palin ticket carried Georgia on Nov. 4 by about 200,000 votes.

The senate runoff has thrust Georgia into the national political spotlight. It has drawn a parade of political a-listers for both candidates as the last major political contest of 2008 is decided at the polls.

Only Senate races in Georgia and Minnesota, where a recount is under way, still are undecided. Democrats now have 58 seats in the U.S. Senate, putting them within reach of a so-called “super majority” of 60.

2. This might not go well - no mooses in GA.

But plenty of rednecks.

[livetohike]

3. Great - they were meant for each other. Two rude, ignorant

bigots traveling together.

[onehandle]

4. Our Hero!

Seriously. Chambliss and Palin deserve each other and appeal to the same sort of idiots.

I can only hope that our Obama supporters will see her in the local news and...

GET THEIR ASSES TO THE POLLS!

[yardwork]

5. This will motivate the hardcore base but turn off everyone else.

[Dawgs]

20. Republicans in Georgia ARE the hardcore base.

They are nuts, and trust me I know. I work with a lot of them.

[Ozma]

6. I guess being Governor of Alaska is really a

small part-time job!

Sarah has spend more than two months away from the state already this year, and now she's got lots of time to campaign for Rethuglican idiots in the lower 48?

Such great "executive" experience.

[Mike Daniels]

12. Well, as people have pointed out.....

There are cities that have larger populations than the entire state of Alaska.

Outside of the energy suppply elements I imagine that Sarah's job as governor doesn't require any more knowledge or ability than that of the mayor of NYC, Pittsburgh, etc.

Given that, it's no surprise that she has all this time to travel.

[Ozma]

14. . I agree with you but ,Oh please..,The mayors of larger US cities have

10 times the brains of a Sarah Palin.

There really isn't much for Sarah to do these days and Atlanta is a lot warmer than Alaska this time of year.

[Mike Daniels]

19. Oh, I would agree that most mayors of any size cities have more smarts than Palin

Quite simply, the only thing Palin has going for her is her looks. There's not a hell of a lot of difference that separates Palin from someone like Pat Robertson. If Robertson looked like Brad Pitt he may have been able to generate more interest when he ran for president.

Once age catches up to Palin the Freeps will discard her for another shiny trinket.

[LynneSin]

18. Hell my state has more people than Alaska and I'm from Delaware

ugh!

[Egnever]

7. haha sweet!

The gift that keeps on giving!

[alwysdrunk]

8. This will help turnout for Martin

Images on TV of the pitchfork mobs that Palin will attract will only remind people of the need to come out and vote or just passively agree to more of the same. Palin is a net loss for Republicans.

[Ozma]

9. I sure hope you are right.

[begin_within]

hey I thought she was supposed to be the governor of Alaska or something

why the hell doesn't she just do her damn job

[Raine1967]

10. It depends on where in Atlanta she is gonna be...

They have not announced where she is going to be... somehow I don't think she will be inside the perimeter.

[alwysdrunk]

16. True. Probably Cobb County

Or maybe Forsyth. Woodstock even.

[greenman3610]

11. appalachia is her natural base

[Alter Ego]

13. Ten to one she says that Jim Martin "pals around with terrorists"

and has to be gently reminded that the Presidential race is over.

[Blu Dahlia]

15. as long as she refrains from disrespecting the president elect

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Be sure to drag the baby along, just to show what a swell mom you are.

an learn a southern drawl while you're at it.

[Raine1967]

21. I may bring a turkey with me! eom.

[Obamanaut]

39. Chambliss is too, also. nt

[BootinUp]

22. This might just help us. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

23. Oh, geez, I hope Alaska isn't paying for this.

This woman needs to be investigated NOW.

[Mz Pip]

24. I know you are probably

real happy to have her gone but if it's on your dime that would be pretty sleazy on her part.

When can you vote her out of office? Is that even a possibility?

[Blue_In_AK]

28. Her term is up in 2010

but Alaskans for Truth, which has formed a real live PAC, is working hard to at least see that she answers for some of her ethical challenges in the meantime. She's really out of control, and even though we're a small state, we have some very serious issues that need somebody's attention immediately.

Here's Celtic Diva's take on this whole thing from her blog this morning.

http://divasblueoasis.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=326

Pushing through a gasline contract that may never get built

-- minus $500,000.00

Running out of gas in the most populous area of the state

-- incalculable loss

Primary source of state income down to $49.00/ barrel

-- minus millions of $$$

State budget that desperately needs to work
BEFORE the Legislative session because of loss of income

-- unimaginable future consequences

Highest sexual assault and DV rate in the country, especially in Rural Alaska

-- untold human misery

Flying off whenever you want, ignoring all "actual responsibilities" so that you can campaign for a racist jerk-off on the State of Alaska dime

--PRICELESS

[political_Dem]

34. It makes you question why would this woman be anyone's media darling.

She's as scandal-ridden as they come.

And thanks again, Blue, for the news. It is always nice to hear the latest. :)

[Mz Pip]

38. We can expect no less

from someone who is apparently very narcisstic. It's all about her and I'm sure in her lame little mind she can justify every scandal and ethics accusation that is thrown at her.

[merh]

30. Please consider my comment to Old Cursoe in another thread.

We were discussing Sista Sarah and OC said that Romney and Hucklebee are not likely to be willing to give up their place in the RNC rankings to the likes of her.

I agree about Romney and Hucklebee, but don't forget who is the republican senator in Alaska. The daughter of the man she smeared to get where she is has an interest in seeing her fall. Those abuses that she has committed while claiming to be a reformer will not be overlooked and will result in the hunt for more. What sweet justice would it be for the daughter to be able to watch her father's judas be charged with the same crimes he has been convicted of. The house that Palin built may well be her bridge to political nowhere.

Just my opinion about the likelihood that she will be and/or is being investigated. Not only is she not qualified to be VP, she has proven that she isn't qualified to be a leader in the party and others know it and resent the hell out of her.

[flpoljunkie]

41. Intriguing.

[merh]

51. all good things come to those who wait

since she can't seem to wait it would appear that all bad things happen to those who cannot wait

she definitely has her's coming to her ;)

[Mike Daniels]

43. The Republicans will take care of Sarah themselves

If Palin thinks Romney and Huckabee (at minimum) aren't already doing research on every part of her life she's more delusional than I thought.

[merh]

50. exactly

just let her keep keeping on, they will deal with her in due time.

[political_Dem]

25. I wonder if she's going to bring her entourage of dead turkeys with her?

:sarcasm:

Otherwise, the GOP is pulling out all the stops on this one, aren't they?

[davidpdx]

44. We ought to get Swamp to do a picture of her and some

dead turkeys. Her trip could be called "The Dead Turkey Tour".

[TheCowsCameHome]

57. You mean the whole dysfunctional family is coming, too?

Oy.............

[polichick]

26. Psycho Sarah will energize those Dems - woo hoo!

[WI_DEM]

27. Without Obama on the ballot I think Chambliss is a shoe-in.

[rAVES]

29. God all mighty.. go away!

[bunkerbuster1]

31. Does Palin share Saxby's fondness for the faith-based "Fair Tax"?

For those unfamiliar with the "Fair Tax," basically, it's what the country needs because we're just too danged progressive with our taxin'.

Oh, and it was conceived by Scientologists, and promoted by radio nutball Neal Boortz.

[mshasta]

32. palin please go away

:puke:

[PresidentObama]

33. Let's hope Sarah does to Saxby what she did for John n/t

[DemzRock]

35. I hope she does lots of stops in front of active slaughter houses and the like. n/t

[Javaman]

36. so I guess she has stopped being gov of alaska then?

"hard to keep them down on the farm once they've seen Pareeeeee!!!"

[IDemo]

37. The Lipstick/Dipstick Tour?

[Clio the Leo]

40. As a Tennessean, I will be dead-bolting my doors.....

.... I do NOT want her to shoot my cats!

Or try and wink at me!

[No Elephants]

45. Here's hoping she does for Chambliss what she did for McCain.

[Breeze54]

46. Buwhahahaha!!

:rofl:

[canadianbeaver]

47. Joe the droppy dog should have to campaign for Martin.....

it would teach that traitor a lesson.....

[Tribetime]

48. She really helped out in Ohio

The more she showed up the better Obama did.

[hopechange2008]

49. maybe that will hurt chambliss

it helped Obama after all!

[ecstatic]

52. Hmm... Maybe I should attend a rally with a camcorder?

Film some of her infamous crowd reactions and forward to the appropriate media outlets

[CitizenPatriot]

53. I'm kind of pleased

Protest?

[ulysses]

54. quick! someone find me a turkey shredder!

[Sammy Jankis]

55. i'm embarrased that there will be a lot of people excited for this

[npincus]

56. I hope someone in a headless-turkey suit dogs her at every stop.
