I cannot stand Chambliss because of his ads against Cleland.
A) Obama couldn't be seen as being 'distracted' from working on economic plans and building his cabinet in order to go campaign;
B) If Martin lost by a large margin (which he apparently has) it could be used to argue that Obama didn't have as much 'capital' or 'mandate' as was believed (though I personally wouldn't have bought into that for a minute);
C) If Obama campaigned against Saxby and Saxby ended up winning, it would not make for much of a bipartisan relationship in case Obama needed to pressure Saxby for some future vote (i.e. "I didn't personally help campaign against you, so help me with this vote").
Probably smart advice all the way around. I can just imagine the field day the Right would be having if Obama had campaigned heavily and then Martin lost.
Oh, well. At least we got rid of this butthead. Sid Vicious even sings about it.

Kind of pisses me off.
SOP.
A lot of it has to do with their hate filled churches.
Do you have ANY understanding of group dynamics as it pertains to voter turnout? No? What a surprise.
And I can assure you that a much higher percentage of gays came out to vote for Barack Obama in Georgia than blacks did for Martin.
Moreover, I have an understanding of how the religious institutions inculcate bigotry into their poor and uneducated flocks. So this really has more to do with religion than anything, since most blacks attend church regularly.
I'm wondering if an Obama appearance might have made a difference.
Can't Repugs come up with normal names?
The special interests hate groups spent millions here sending out trash....some days just prior to the runoff, I'd get 3 or 4 fliers.....and several robo calls.....from U.S. Chamber of Commerce.....Fred Thompson.....etc.
And of course they brought in Moose Girl....
Thank God the inbred corporate media is ever closer to its collapse...But, there still might be time for yet another circa 1981 CNN special eyeball-rolling series on UFOs.
