News Martin: Chambliss' ads 'just plain offensive'
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 6:02 PM
Now that pollsters are saying U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss is running the risk of losing his job, attacks are flying left and right in the race for his seat.
Once Chambliss started to feel vulnerable, he finally began mentioning the name of his Democratic nominee, Jim Martin, who was happy to just ramp up the attacks on the incumbent. And once the polls showed the race as close as even, Democratic Party heavies started pouring money into the state. (Martin outraised Chambliss in the third quarter.) Even Libertarian Party nominee Allen Buckley is lobbing Molotov commercials at Chambliss' camp. (I'd like to add Buckley to the list of people Martin needs to thank should he unseat Chambliss.)
Well, Martin's got a new shame-on-you-Saxby spot that says while he pushed for legislation and facilities that helped Georgia children, the incumbent Republican's just worked for Wall Street.
