Fantastic ad. The light music tones down the negative edge of the message. Why can’t more campaigns adopt this formula?

Saxby is ~~approaching~~a RINO ~~status~~. The fact that a Democrat is competitive in a Georgia statewide election should send a warning signal to the RNC. But then again, 2006 should have done that too. bigbeas on November 13, 2008 at 6:29 PM

I’ll have to object to the “I fail to see the problem with civil unions” statement.

Being a CT resident we’re just now seeing the problem with Civil Unions as we got beat over the head for being progressive enough to try to legislate a solution that is somehow discriminatory (or at least that’s what half+1 of our state Supreme Court decided).

As a New Jersey native that moved here 25 years ago this is a very important issue for me. The push to remove the confederate symbol was initially made by minority groups because they found it “offensive”. Poor babies. Then the push was picked up by special interest groups that thought it would show the “South” had matured into something that want to “forget” that period of it’s history. Little did they recognize that the confederate emblem was not reflective or representative of the “slavery” issue but has a very “proud” place in southern culture. Removing it is just another means by which libs/socialist/dims try to remove the “pride” from peoples lives as we see every day in this country. I learned this the first year I lived here and have fought of it’s inclusion in the states flag or motto ever since.

Saxby is approaching RINO status. The fact that a Democrat is competitive in a Georgia statewide election should send a warning signal to the RNC. But then again, 2006 should have done that too.

Voting for the guy with an R instead of a D next to his name is not really something to get excited about.

Here & now, it’s not about Excitement: it’s about Survival

Well, if Georgians don’t think keeping Barack Obama from having a veto-proof Senate is enough to get out and vote, I don’t know what to say.

Is Saxby Chambliss a RINO now too?

Add breaks on Atlanta television have been going something like this, Martin add, immediately followed by a NRSC add, immediately followed by a Saxby Chambliss add. So you shouldn’t worry about adds not making it on television. Believe me, there are plenty of adds making it on the air.

You’re right: Saxby & Co need to get this info out into the Real World, because his opponent is a Bitter Pill

Removing the Confederate symbol sounds like a good idea to me, but then again, I’m not from Georgia.

Confederate symbolism was removed from the Georgia State flag in 2001, but this was done without the people’s consent and is a very touchy subject here in Georgia. The flag was later changed in 2003 to the current flag, but there is nothing symbolizing the Confederacy on the current flag either.

Here is my problem with the runoff. The only reason I have to vote for Saxby Chambliss is that he has an R next to his name instead of a D. He has already shown he really doesn’t care what the people of Georgia think when he gets to Washington. Voting for the guy with an R instead of a D next to his name is not really something to get excited about.

The NRSC continued with its plan to roll out a new web ad every day between now and the runoff election in Georgia for the Senate.

If a genie came to me tomorrow and granted me a wish (he’s not a convention genie) I’d banish web-only ads. The people who see them are political junkies and supporters of each candidate. You won’t find most undecided mom-and-pops scouring YouTube for the latest web-only ad.
