Daily Kos: Support Jim Martin
October 8, 2008 at 3:51 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsGuys, we can make a difference in this one. With little money, but with a lot of gumption, energy, and a truly progressive message, Jim Martin has closed to a dead-heat in this race. He is pro-choice, pro-gay rights (supports ENDA and LLEA), a consumer advocate, committed civil libertarian (with ACLU awards for his efforts), opposes FISA telecom immunity, opposes the war in Iraq, is a strong environmentalist, a strong labor guy, a strong supporter of affirmative action, and so on. He is also a Vietnam vet, so perhaps he’s destined for a Chambliss Special, but we can get his back. This is the kind of Democrat we can’t even get in some Blue states, yet running on an explicitly progressive agenda, has a chance to represent the great state of Georgia while ousting the odious Chambliss at the same time.
Yes, this seems like it’s too good to be true, but it’s for real. Let’s give Jim Martin a hand turning Georgia Blue.

[...] Congrats Saxby, things are looking up. The King of the Kos Kids has urged them to throw their scrawny muscles behind Jim Martin. (Hat Tip: Fresh Loaf) [...]

If I ever needed a reason to hold my nose and vote for Saxby, I just got it.
Thanks Kos for steering me away rfom what would have been a surely wasted vote on the Libertarian candidate.
