We had a great diary earlier by Odinseye2k calledGA-Sen: It Looks Like Martin Is It!
Well he is it and Chuck Schumer just added Georgia to list of races we can win.
Schumer made this statement
"Georgians chose an impressive candidate today who has the experience and vision to change the direction of our nation. As a public servant under both a Democratic and a Republican Governor, Jim has a proven record of working across party lines, and he will be an effective and independent voice for Georgia families. This is a winnable race," Schumer's statement said.
It's going to take everyone of us helping in this race. We have one of the most vile and partisan incumbents to take down in Saxby Chambliss who in 2002 by making Max Cleeland look un-patriotic.
I was already encouraged before I read Schumer's comments, but for him to come out on this race tonight has me really jumping for joy.
The margin between Martin and Chambliss should not be more than 12-14 points right now. Martin did very well in Jones (Atlanta) territory tonight which will be very important going forward.
There are many other reasons to be optimistic including Saxby's terrible legislative record, Georgia being targeted for the Presidential race and confidence from tonights easy win.
Let's help rebuild Martin's funds for November starting tonight.
I have an Act Blue page called
Two for Tuesdays where we raised $250 for Martin tonight. Let's see if we can't make it another $250 right now. Click on the link or the thermometer to give.
