I just got a message from the Jim Martin campaign in Georgia. There is going to be a run-off election, which means that YES, WE STILL CAN pick up another senate seat. Martin needs money for the election. I know everybody feels tapped out, but you know that the Repubs are going to throw money at this election with a rocket launcher because it is sooo important. The letter from Jim Martin is below. Here's the link to his campaign page! Just $10 -- we've done it before. We can do it again!
Here's the letter I received from Martin.
We now know that there will be a runoff on December 2nd between Saxby Chambliss and me. With your continued support, I am confident that we will prevail.
America has elected Barack Obama President, and now is the time for all of us to help him succeed. In the Senate, I'll do what's best for Georgia, what's best for our country, and what's best for the middle class folks who've been ignored the past eight years.
I think that starts with helping Barack Obama succeed, not undercutting him for partisan advantage or to protect special interests. And that's the difference in this runoff election. I will do everything I can to help Barack Obama change Washington and get our economy moving again. Saxby Chambliss will do just the opposite.
This runoff will be over in the blink of an eye. We can return this Senate seat to someone who will follow in the traditions of Russell, Nunn, and Cleland, rather than someone who, for the past six years, has been a rubber stamp for George Bush and Dick Cheney. But we will only be able to do so with the support of friends like you.

Your contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, or whatever you can give, will make a real difference.
Last night, America spoke. And last night, Georgia spoke as well - a majority voted against sending Saxby Chambliss back to Washington. In 27 days, we can make that a reality. Together, we can make a real difference. Yes we can.
