In the last two days I've spoken to perhaps a dozen, 18 people, who are my neighbors and co-workers. The main point I've tried to make is that we should all be talking to everyone we know so that they will go to the polls on Dec. 2nd and vote for Jim Martin, giving Pres. Obama another Senator he can call upon for support.
None of them, and I mean NONE, knew there was a run-off for that Senate seat.
See the problem is the timing. After that surprising early Obama win, when Saxby was so far ahead there seemed to be no chance AT ALL for Martin, we all woke up to the same story....Martin lost.
Even the next morning Chambliss was so far ahead, Martin...no chance.
It wasn't till at least the next day's noon news when the possibility of a run-off even came up. By then most dedicated Obama folks were celebrating and totally over the election results. They just weren't paying attention.
Tonight I spoke to a coupla my neighbors and they absolutely did not believe there was a run-off. It took some talking to convince them.
What should Obama do? I have a feeling he's got this one figured out. But let's all help spread the word.
Vote Dec. 2nd to send Jim Martin to the Senate and give Pres. Obama another Senator he can count on.
