AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Governor Palin went to Georgia yesterday and
urged voters to back incumbent Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss
in today's runoff against Democrat Jim Martin.
Martin staged a flurry of campaign rallies around the state and
capped the day with a raucous event at the state Capitol with
hip-hop stars T.I., Young Jeezy and Ludacris, who urged voters to
return to the polls.
Palin's campaign appearances for Chambliss were her first since
she and Republican presidential nominee John McCain lost the
general election on November 4th.
On Monday, supporters waited in the cold for more than an hour
to attend the rallies.
Palin highlighted Chambliss' conservative record of supporting
gun rights and opposing abortion.
Martin supporters didn't waste the chance to take shots of their
own at Palin.
Michigan Congressman John Conyers says anybody who would bring
her to Georgia needs to be sent back to wherever he came from.
