Palin Hits Campaign Trail

Sarah Palin, still on the national stage weeks after the election, is attending four rallies today for Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who faces a runoff tomorrow against Democratic challenger Jim Martin. "We need Saxby because we need checks and balances in Washington, and we will not have that if Saxby is not re-elected," Palin said in Augusta today. Democrats, who currently hold 58 seats in the senate, need a win in Georgia and a successful recount in Minnesota in order to reach a filibuster-proof 60 votes. McCain has also campaigned on Chambliss' behalf. Barack Obama recorded radio ads supporting Jim Martin, but the president-elect has not held any campaign events in Georgia on his behalf.
