News Clinton to raise money here Saturday for Jim Martin
Posted by Ken Edelstein on Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 1:40 PM
In yet another sign that Democrats aren't just bluffing about their prospects for an upset of Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, former President Bill Clinton will come to Atlanta tomorrow to attend a fundraising reception tomorrow for fellow Dem Jim Martin, Martin's campaign has announced.
It surprised me to see that the event — 7:15 p.m.-9:15 p.m. at Trois in the 1180 Peachtree building — isn't that pricey: just $100. Maybe, I'm wrong but I thought fundraisers with Clinton would usually run more than that. Then again, it's a "reception, not a dinner, and getting your picture taken with the former president will still set you back $1,000.
Recent polls, including this one, have place the Chambliss-Martin contest in the "tossup" category, according to most polling websites.
