Al Gore To Campaign In Georgia Senate Runoff
Jim Martin, the Democratic candidate in the contentious Georgia Senate runoff, is getting a big Democratic name coming into the state for him: Al Gore, who will be going to Georgia on Sunday, a Martin campaign source confirmed to Election Central.
Martin is still the underdog against incumbent GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss, but this race remains on the table. The runoff election is expected to have very low turnout -- it's effectively the same as a special election in many ways -- and as such will be all about ginning up turnout among the party base.
Bill Clinton is visiting the state tomorrow, and Gore's entrance should make it even clearer just how seriously the national party is taking this race.

Hey, given the potent symbol of "unification" that Joe Lieberman is, maybe he should campaign for ... Chambliss?
Yes, well, I know I'm just one of those crazy rabid lefties out there, but I happen to be a crazy rabid lefty who regularly contributed to the DSCC. I just asked them to stop e-mailing me, in light of the Lieberman decision.
The DSCC can ask Lieberman supporters for money from now on.

I'm hoping for a mass protest "Stay at home Dec. 2nd" protest by Georgia Democrats.

Since it's one of your last shreds of hope, I'm hardly surprised.
