Georgia, Remember to Vote!
The Senate runoff election between incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin takes place tomorrow. Before dropping a vote for Jim Martin, consider the following:
1.) Jim Martin voted for the largest tax increase in the history of Georgia.
2.) Jim Martin proposed legislation that would increase property tax by 150 percent.
3.) Jim Martin voted to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers, voted against making extremely violent criminals serve their entire prison sentence, and voted against making it a felony to distribute drugs within 1000 feet of a school.
4.) Jim Martin voted twice against making English the official language of Georgia.
5.) Jim Martin supports the Card Check bill, which will eliminate the secret ballot for union votes.

From New York Times:
Mr. Chambliss had 59 percent of the vote, and his Democratic challenger, Jim Martin, had 41 percent. The margin was far greater than the three percentage points that separated the two men in the Nov. 4 election, when neither got the required 50 percent. Many of the Democrats who turned out last month in enthusiastic support of Barack Obama apparently did not show up at the polls on Tuesday.
“For a lot of African-American voters, the real election was last month,” said Merle Black, an expert in Southern politics at Emory University. “The importance of electing the first African-American president in history generated enormous enthusiasm.”

In other words, it appears that many individuals voted for Obama just because he’s black.
