Aides from President-elect Barack Obama’s campaign are coming to Georgia to help Democrat Jim Martin, in his runoff bid against incumbent Senator Republican Saxby Chambliss.
Chambliss will get help from John McCain who’s coming to Georgia on Thursday for a rally.
Democrat Martin says they have no commitment for President-elect Barack Obama to visit Georgia, but he says Obama staffers are coming to help:
“it’s a Georgia race, and we’ll be happy to have people come in and pay us a visit, but this is really about Georgians and who will be the best senator in the United States Senate to represent Georgia.”Martin says his campaign has 25 field offices.
Chambliss announced yesterday he’s opening ten campaign offices.
Experts say the winner will be the one who’s got the best ground game at getting their voters back to the polls on December second.
Neither candidate got enough the necessary 50-percent plus one of the vote on Election Day.
