Martin ad takes aim at Chambliss

Democratic Senate candidate Jim Martin has stepped up his attacks on Saxby Chambliss with a new ad suggesting the Republican incumbent is out of touch with the economic woes of the middle class.

In the spot, Martin says Georgians need to reverse the George Bush's failed economic policies that Chambliss has supported for years.

The Martin campaign said Monday that the television ad will be running statewide.

It's the first ad that has taken direct aim at Chambliss, suggesting the Senate race is heating up with less than two months to go until election day. Chambliss is running his own ad that highlights his biography and his record from his first term in the Senate.
