Let the record show that Jim Martin’s improbable ascendancy in this race dates from his denunciation of Chambliss’ support for the Bush Bottomless Bailout–which has only gotten more bottomless, in recent days, despite the assurances of Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner, et al.

Unfortunately, among those joining Chambliss in backing the Bush Bottomless Bailout–was Barack Obama.

It is my hope that when the President-elect learns of the lunacy of the multi-hundred trillion dollar ‘derivatives market,’ he will reconsider writing the London/Wall Street gambling set a blank check.

Go Jim!

Saxby Shameless has supported George W.Shameful so closely that he needs to leave the scene with him! Jim Martin at least for now wants to represent his constituents, which will be a fresh breeze blowing after being disenfranchised for so long by dear old Saxby!

There is reason to hope. Caribou Barbie is coming to Georgia to campaign for Saxby Shameless. Maybe she will piss enough moderates off to change the tide.

I dont see it affirming anything other than people got involved and made a difference, unlike the story of Saul, and his probable ‘heat stroke’which was of course attributed to something Divine,what unexplained event wasnt?

Okay. I can see why you are an agnostic, though. If you need a political victory to believe.
Stuff like babies and sunsets and the Grand Canyon and chocolate and hugs and people helping each other out work for me. *g*

taking the battle to the Republicans on their own turf though is the right strategy. they need to know that nothing can be taken for granted.

let me put it another way, Martin winning would be for me like Saul’s conversion on the road. i.e., i would find it difficult to remain an agnostic …..

I hadn’t considered (until now) that with the campaign over, the Secret Service might discourage superfluous travel. Probably not, I don’t think they can set the itinerary, although they can dictate to some extent how events are coordinated at a given destination. His absence is probably due mostly to the desire to appear non-partisan, combined with his plate being pretty full at the moment.
