Except that all his choices so far show no sign of some radical agenda.

Their argument falls flat on its face.

Looks like Georgia GOP and their friends are trying a lot of things that proved ineffective in the election. Perhaps it may work in Georgia somewhat -- but it was close then and it is close now to the degree that what matters is GOTV, I would guess.

Georgia doesn't need another visit from Barack Obama.

It needs another visit from William Tecumseh Sherman.

I wenr to school at Auburn, AL, a few miles away from GA. Couldn't stay more than a semester. Great school, good people but somehow the real America was not for me.

Given the overall reaction of the economy in recent days to PE Obama's adult world view and handling of the situation, I somehow suspect that this ad isn't going to have much of an impact. It's like Gov. Palin coming down to campaign--anybody who's already convinced to vote for Chambliss will vote for him, but it may very well sway any fence-sitters into the Martin camp.

Since the possibility of Al making it in Minnesota is slim and none, I don't see much point in getting excited about Georgia. Winning the South is pretty much a lost cause. Best thing is to let them interbreed amongst themselves, contain their political ambitions to the rural areas and pay them no mind because nothing down there really matters. By the way, I grew up down there.

I'm sorry to say, this sort of crap works in Georgia (outside of Atlanta, Athens and parts of Savannah).

Overall, the Repubs here are very conservative. In my opinion it has everything to do with race, difference and the "other."

Since Obama's win on Nov 4 I've heard some VERY disturbing comments from people who I knew to be Republican but otherwise who I thought to be pretty sensible people. I was wrong. I've lived here now three years and the level of hatred among Repubs for people of color still manages to surprise me.

So, I think ads like that, while perhaps rejected in other parts of the country, still resonate here.

Georgia has seen a spike in undocumented workers, its been quite a concern for some years, especially in the Atlanta metro area. Its pathetic to watch the GOP play the race card once again. The message in this ad is clear ' Be aware the black man is going to left all his fellow brown brothers' and sisters' run amuck in America.' My regards to the City of Atlanta its unfortunate they have to be subjected the GOP's bulls&^$.

They keep saying he's "one vote away from total control." Man, I wish!

Georgia would've been a damn nice pickup, but I've never really believed it could happen, especially after Obama failed to swipe it.

The heartbreaker (barring a miracle) is Minnesota. That apple was hanging so low we should have been able to pick it lying on our backs.

Martin can use this against Shameless. Point to Obama's cabinet posts and how he's dealing with the financial situation and ask "Is that radical?" and then ask Ga who would get more done for them, somebody in the opposition who's calling the President-elect a radical or a fellow centrist Democrat?

This ad is so out of touch and so clearly a desperate move that it's not even funny.

This is way off topic but LOL at the article on Huffington Post.

Al-Qaeda is claiming pro-Obama media twisted its statement around.

You can't make this stuff up!!!

I posted this on a dead thread at 5 this morning. It is hilarious, so I wanted to post it again. It is totally off topic, but too funny not to post. Coulter's jaw was wired shut. Miracles will never cease. The good news keeps flowing in some respects.

Wait. That's very interesting how they said "one senate vote away"

Is this a reason to be hopeful about Minnesota? or maybe it's just to get those right wing nuts all razzled up to go the polls...

I've been looking into who is behind the National Republican Trust PAC and posted some of the info on my TPM blog. The people behind the NRT PAC are right wing extremists who will do anything to undermine the Obama administration.

Scott L. Wheeler, Peter M. Leitner and to a lesser degree, Joshua M. Ambush, have played significant roles in promoting some of the most inflammatory and harmful propaganda of the last two decades.

In the '90s, they tried to overthrow a legitimately elected president by manufacturing one Clinton scandal after another. For example, Wheeler produced the infamous "documentary", The Mena Cover-Up; Drugs, Deception and the Making of A President. Leitner used his DoD credentials to make the case that Clinton and Gore permitted dual-use technology to be exported to China in exchange for campaign contributions.

After 9-11, they ratcheted up support for the war by manufacturing evidence linking Al Qaeda to Saddam and assuring the public that Iraq indisputably had WMDs.

They continue to hammer away about the threat posed by radical Islam, the definition of which appears to encompass the beliefs of 99% of all Muslims worldwide.

I suspect the NRT PAC's finances are not in order and if there is anything amiss, now is the time to go after these creeps.
