Abstract:
The very reason why Democrats want Jim Martin to be elected the U.S. Senator from Georgia may be what ultimately causes his defeat, a University professor and renowned elections expert told Athens business executives Thursday.
In a Rasmussen poll released Wednesday, "52 percent of Georgians polled said if Georgia does seem to determine whether Democrats get 60 seats, they'll be less likely to vote for him," said Charles Bullock, political science professor of legislative politics....

Saxby Chambliss certainly has hurt himself, particularly in voting for the bailout which is now almost a joke; however, if one looks at Jim Martin's voting record in the state legislature it surely must give you a chill. His votes against so many things for which Georgians have stood sets him completely apart from the minds of most Georgians. Check his record before you cast a vote for him. Because of Chambliss' vote for the bailout I considered not even voting but when I learned about Martin's record in the state legislature I'm determined to do everything possible from having him as my senator; in fact, he apparently ignored the voice of the people in some of his legislative votes. That's frightening for a man who wants to represent me in the United States Senate. If Martin's votes had prevailed our ability to allow student initiated prayer at school events would not be in place, it would be no crime to exchange drugs within 1,000 feet of a school and on and on. Check it for yourself before you vote. In reality in my opinion Saxby Chambliss should win by a landslide, not because of his own recent vote but because of the long standing negative votes by Jim Martin in his state seat.
