Game On: Barack Obama is sending aides to help with the runoff senatorial campaign in Georgia

[Are_grits_groceries]

Democratic officials confirm that Barack Obama is sending aides to help with the runoff senatorial campaign in Georgia, putting his post-election coattails to an immediate test.

Organizers who worked on behalf of the Illinois Democrat are heading to the Peach State to offer similar assistance to Jim Martin, the Democratic challenger who is facing a second-round contest against incumbent Saxby Chambliss after neither candidate received 50 percent of the initial vote.

The investment by Obama, confirmed by an official working on behalf of the Senate campaign, apparently includes "ground team" members as well as "online specialists and bloggers," and represents one of the earliest tests of the influence he can wield on the political landscape. A Daily Kos diarist first heard about the move from the Martin team.

4. Man -- I was hoping for this!

We desperately need to get RID of Saxby Chambliss. Hell, my county, which was Newt's stomping ground, elected a Democratic representative to the Georgia House. That's HUGE in this area. We've officially gone purple in a long time red county. If we can do it HERE -- we can do it for the state!

YES!

6. And will someone please kick chambliss in the nuts on the way out the door for Max Clelland.

It was a sad day in Georgia--and America--where a bona fide war hero, you know the kind that actually served his country, could be smeared and sullied by the likes of chambliss and the rethuglican smear machine. That Selection in 2002 had rethuglican finger prints all over it. Specifically ralphie-boy reed's.
