Both candidates in tomorrow’s Senate runoff election brought out the big dogs today. GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss was joined by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who attended 4 rallies culminating at the Gwinnett Center late today.
Meanwhile rappers T.I., Young Jeezy and Ludacris braved 30+ degree temps to campaign for Democrat Jim Martin at the state Capitol in downtown Atlanta.
All three rappers took the podium to urge their fans to vote for Martin who is in a tight race with Chambliss.
At stake is complete control of Congress for the Democrats if Martin comes from behind to win.
That is hardly likely since polls show Chambliss ahead with a comfortable margin. But it’s great to see the young brothers on quite a different stage than what they are used to.
The fact that Jeezy, Luda and T.I. joined together to lend their support to a political cause that they think is important to our community shows just how far they’ve come as men, fathers and responsible citizens!!
Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss enlisted Sarah Palin to rally conservatives while Democratic challenger Jim Martin pushed to activate black voters, as they grappled for advantage in a Tuesday runoff that will shape Democrats' hold on power in Washington.
"We feel great about our campaign," Martin said in a telephone interview. "People want someone to go to Washington who is an independent voice but who will also work with our president."
The Martin camp is working to get black voters back to the polls. Black turnout in Georgia topped 30 percent in the general election with Obama on the ticket.
Martin planned to cap election eve campaigning with a Capitol rally with Atlanta rapper Ludacris.
