Clinton to raise money here Saturday for Jim Martin
October 24, 2008 at 9:40 am by Ken Edelstein in NewsIn yet another sign that Democrats aren’t just bluffing about their prospects for an upset of Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, former President Bill Clinton will come to Atlanta tomorrow to attend a fundraising reception tomorrow for fellow Dem Jim Martin, Martin’s campaign has announced.
It surprised me to see that the event — 7:15 p.m.-9:15 p.m. at Trois in the 1180 Peachtree building — isn’t that pricey: just $100. Maybe, I’m wrong but I thought fundraisers with Clinton would usually run more than that. Then again, it’s a “reception, not a dinner, and getting your picture taken with the former president will still set you back $1,000.
Recent polls, including this one, have place the Chambliss-Martin contest in the “tossup” category.
