| Chambliss: Palin's 'a rock star' |
| 2008-12-02 |
| Could Sarah Palin's celebrity appeal be the thing to push incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R) over the edge in the statewide run-off? Chambliss seems to think so. "She -- she truly is a rock star,” Chambliss said on FOX. “I mean, she came into town to help us electrify our base, make sure that these folks get fired up and turn out tomorrow, and she did exactly that.” Palin rallied for him in Augusta, Savannah, Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta. "We had huge crowds,” he said, “and they were enthusiastic and very electrified.” Chambliss said that although the turnout was high for Democrats in November, he expects to win this time. "We expect them to turn out… but we think we've got a pretty good ground game ourselves." |
