Bringing Out the Big Guns
Am told by a Dem operative working on the Georgia congressional race recount that the GOP is so serious about trying to preserve Chambliss's seat they're bringing in Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney. Because that worked out so well last time.

Mitt can reprise his rendition of "Who Let the Dogs Out?" for the partisans. Bible Spice will be right at home.

The GOP will struggle to survive. Obama will struggle to find change that will stand the test of time. .............

What about Joe the Plumber?

Isn't GA technically a revote and MN a recount? Not to be snarky, but...

That seems like a match made in heaven. Mittens has oodles of cash for Palin's Georgia Peach wardrobe. And loads of the kind of high class credibility that allowed him to rail against East Coast elites at the RNC.

In case you all missed it, and tangentially related to the thread topic, here is a wonderful Fresh Air interviews from the day after the election on the "Future of the Conservative Movement" with Mickey Edwards (ex Repub congressman from Oklahoma, one of three founding trustees of the Heritage Foundation, Obama voter): http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96648705

wvng, I mentioned that yesterday as I heard it, but the audio wasn't up then. The interview before Edwards was Bill Moyers who was even better.
.
This morning Radio Times had Edwards and Vin Weber. Guess the new fair and balanced will be all Repub commenters because of course the administration is Dem. Although when the admin was Repub... Oh never mind. -

Could I be in moderation for saying 00dles?

Georgia is going to envy the peace and quiet Pennsylvania and Ohio had in the last part of the election, over the next few weeks.
I fully expect 50 million dollars spent on this runoff election--and that number is only as small as it is due to the lowish cost of airtime there and the short duration.
This is going to be brutal.

Failure twin powers unite!
Form of: symbol of the party's abject failure!
Form of: untrustworthy carpet bagger! -

ivb: "Guess the new fair and balanced will be all Repub commenters because of course the administration is Dem." Yep, and CNN is leading the way with all their new hires.
.
And, yes, the Moyers interview was even better. To have led the life he has led, and lived to see this happen, must be extraordinary:

You mean Sarah and Mittens will be sharing a stage together?!!
I think Mitt secretly hates Sarah.
Hilarity will ensue.

Ok, resending my mod-boted post, with an 00dle bypass.
That seems like a match made in heaven. Mittens has 00dles of cash for Palin's Georgia Peach wardrobe. And loads of the kind of high class credibility that allowed him to rail against East Coast elites at the RNC.

And, also, is there a Neiman-Marcus or Henri Bendel in Atlanta? I'm sure Senator Chaxy wants her to look her best and about the credit card that would make her attract a lot more attention and that would be great for the campaign you betcha!

Sarah Palin spells it J-O-R-J-A.

Sarah Palin can confront the Russians there.

This ought to be interesting since it is clear like Obama that the DNC is going to push on misleading messages.
The DNC ran ads here in Atlanta for 2 months saying Saxby will raise your taxes 23%. What they didn't say was that was the fair tax and you would then not pay any other taxes and abolish the IRS.
So I don't think that outright lying is going to get Martin the seat. Not to mention that Martin when confronted by the lie didn't denounce it he said that it was "unfortunate" that his DNC colleages were misrepresenting the fair tax. Now that Obama is not running I seriously doubt the afican american turn out will come out for some sleazy white guy, who got fired from his last government job.

Yet another reason to give Alan Colmes a little bit of credit this year. How about after all that ranting Joe The Plumber did about redistribution of wealth and spreading the wealth around and how he has principles and doesnt want to take other people's money. This fool was grew up on welfare!!! Talk about gl@ss houses. Now just to make it clear I am not ragging on people on welfare because many people need it and with out it the number of homeless people as well as hungry innocent children would sky rocket. The point is the hypocrisy of this idjut just knows no bounds. Here's the video.

What does it say that you can't ask a question of the left's canidates without a background check and a smear campaign?
