Jim Martin

Bryan reminded me, in a comment in the other post, about Jim Martin.

Perhaps some of you remember the 2002 GA Senate race, where Saxby Chambliss ran ads conflating Max Cleland (who left three of his limbs on the battlefield in Vietnam) with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. A rather scummy and dishonest move, another nail in my personal Republican coffin. It's difficult to describe the mix of astonishment, rage, and sadness that the incident conjures up for me. Well, 2008 is the year we get to send Saxby packin'. Jim Martin is his competition.

I have to be honest, I haven't researched this race much because Martin has had my vote all along. But now it turns out that Saxby's on the run. I'm glad to see it. We need to kick him to the curb.

So when you go to vote for Obama/Biden, punch the button for Jim Martin too.

Oh, and it was not an oversight that I didn't mention McCain's VP pick in the last post.
