The NRSC has topped my expectations with this ad. It's probably just a web ad, but wow, this is funny. Look at Martin clap! HA!

Martin Below 40%
Well, the latest poll is out and this time its a Mason-Dixon survey for NBC News puts Sen. Saxby Chambliss up 45-39 on his Democratic opponent Jim Martin.
Saxby spent yesterday campaigning while Martin spent two hours in line waiting to vote in Fulton County.
Chambliss spends today continuing on his bus tour ending in Atlanta this evening before moving onto South Georgia while Martin also is using his bus tour to head out on the road.
The race is close, but 39% for Martin won't get him close to winning the race outright and thats why all the Democrats can hope for is a runoff.

New Campaign Ad
This ad is probably the best produced one of the Senate race in Georgia yet. And it comes from an outside group, not even one of the campaigns.

Martin is in a Middle Class State of Mind
Wow.
Just wow. Jim Martin, who continuously has touted his campaign as one for the middle class, can't even define what constitutes the middle class.
But not only that, he thinks there is no economic guidelines for what is the middle class.
Its just a state of mind.
The video puts it best: How can Jim Martin stand up for the middle class when he doesn't know what it is?
Someone ought to ask him that at his town hall tonight.

Martin Goes Gay Again
I never knew the gay vote in Georgia was so important. At least that's what it appears like Jim Martin believes.
Martin has scheduled yet another campaign stop targetted at Atlanta's gay community, this one to celebrate the founding of Navigation, a gay party planning group.
The group was founded "in response to what Reyes views as a recent drop in choices for gay dance enthusiasts in Atlanta’s nightlife scene."
You. Can't. Make. This. Stuff. Up.
Next up for the Martin campaign: Jim speaks at the opening of a massage parlor.

Martin Can't Find Support In Mid-Georgia
Wow, the Perry debate sure lived up to its reputation as a wild one.
The best run down of what happened can be seen over at the AJC.
But as far as the chaos that went down, it all started out fine enough. Martin brought in his union thugs from Atlanta which is expected since he can't get any support in Middle Georgia. Blog for Democracy has their own account of what happened and admit that their only supporters had to be bussed in.
Soon enough into the debate though Martin's goons started booing and hissing. It seemed like some of those who were bussed in had been drinking on their ride from the union hq in Atlanta. Seriously, who goes to a debate drunk? I guess Martin supporters have to have their inhibitions loosened to support a guy like Jim.
Its funny though, they were relegated to the back rows because the Saxby supporters, numbering several hundred, took up all the front sections.
Now the Perry debate is very different from any of the other debates: its not televised, its big on crowd participation, and its wild. No real game changers emerged from the debate, except we now have confirmation that Martin has no support outside of Atlanta.

Rasmussen: Chambliss Lead Still Secure
That's the news today after a lot of hand wringing following several Democrat sponsored polls showed the U.S. Senate race tightening significantly on the heels of the economic bailout package vote.
Chambliss is still above 50% according to Rasmussen, a clear and significant lead.

Palin vs. Biden
Well tonight everyone is going to get what they've been clamoring for since Gov. Palin was first announced as McCain's running mate: a vice presidential debate.
I don't really expect much to happen, but I'm sure Biden will try his whole smile and charm routine and try to throw in a couple zingers about Palin's inexperience. Maybe Palin should throw in a couple of zingers about Biden's hair plugs, or his many documented mishaps on the campaign trail.
Honestly, all the media is expecting for a Palin meltdown and I just don't see that happening. More likely is that Biden makes a misstep and directly contradicts the Messiah Obama on some issue or worse insults a key demographic. Palin likely will play it safe.
And speaking of vetting, how did we get Gwen Ifill as a moderator with her upcoming book that hails Obama as ushering in a new age? Whatever, typical media I guess.
