The Thanksgiving season isn't stopping the attack ads from running in the heated Georgia Senate runoff, in which we'll find out this Tuesday whether the Democrats can pick up another Senate seat from the GOP.

The NRSC is running this new ad, their second spot accusing Dem candidate Jim Martin of voting against crackdowns on crimes against children:

The catch here is that Martin's own daughter was abducted when she was eight years old -- fortunately, she was returned safely -- and he has defended his record on children's safety. The campaign says the votes cited in this ad are cases where Martin voted against particular versions of a bill to toughen penalties for crimes against children, then voted for final passage at the end of the legislative process.

"Another day, another smear from Saxby Chambliss and his allies," Martin spokesperson Matt Canter told Election Central via e-mail. "If Saxby Chambliss had spent more time fighting for Georgia families and less time fighting for corporate interests, maybe he wouldn't be forced to resort to these desperate attacks."

Meanwhile, Jim Martin has this new ad attacking Chambliss for voting against better health-care for veterans, in contrast to Martin's own experience as a Vietnam vet himself:

Here's the response from Chambliss spokesperson Michelle Grasso, in an e-mail to Election Central: "Senator Chambliss has a strong record of fighting for our veterans and has been endorsed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars PAC and the Vets for Freedom PAC. This is just another desperate attempt by a desperate candidate to mislead the people of Georgia and Jim Martin should be ashamed."
