Obama: 'The Elections Aren't Over'
November 20, 2008 8:36 PM
ABC News' Teddy Davis reports: Barack Obama has gingerly entered the fray in the Georgia Senate race, cutting a 60-second radio ad in support of Democrat Jim Martin.
"The elections aren't over," says Obama in the radio ad after thanking everyone who voted for him. "... I want to urge you to turn out one more time and help elect Jim Martin to the United States Senate."
Georgia is holding a Senate run-off on Dec. 2 because neither Martin, the Democrat, nor Saxby Chambliss, the incumbent Republican senator, received more than 50 percent of the vote on Nov. 4 due to Libertarian Senate candidate Allen Buckley.
When the new Congress convenes next year, Democrats will control a minimum of 58 Senate seats. There are still two races -- Georgia (where the run-off is taking place) and Minnesota (where a hand recount is taking place) -- that are still undecided.
If Democrats were to win both seats, they would have a filibuster-proof 60 seats in the Senate.
Listen to the ad HERE.

It doesn't matter that Obama is an American citizen-that's not enough. According to the Constitution it matters WHERE he was born. Try reading it sometime.
'The Elections Aren't Over'
What Dear Leader meant was, 'The Revolution Isn't Over'.

The entire electoral process is broken at every level! How can a man who is lying about his past and hiding the location of his birth be trusted to run the country?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, whether you be democrats, republicans, independents; may you have a good week and thank the Lord for the food yet you have on your table. Nobody knows for sure what tomorrow will bring. Trust in the Lord Jesus and give Him all your worries and believe. God speed to all of you!!

People vote with their pocketbooks. If the majority of the people believe a democrat would be better for the economy, then a democrat wins, fair and square, period. I believe the cost of living is killing people with modest incomes and that's why the democrats are being elected in droves. The republicans should take a hint from this but they never do and probably never will because their constituency exist mostly in the wealthy and higher incomes.

You people might as well stop trying to educate the masses on what the constitution says. It will be over the average person's head. The "dumbing" down of America has already taken hold firmly and cannot be undone (or so it seems) If you people think allegiance to the constitution is the topmost priority on politicians' mind, I got a newsflash for you - the constitution has gone the way of the dinosaur and will soon become "outdated" and in need of "repair". It will only be a matter of time before the constitution will be declared so inaccurate that it will be done away with completely. How's that for patriotic. It is too late now to fix America. She is too far gone.

I understand people vote with their pocket books. But how in the heck can typical tax and spend Democratic/Socialist politics make any sense to the average taxpayer? Clinton was tolerable because he was more moderate in that area (though he did call for the raising of taxes as soon as he got elected.) Gore was all about the environment even though the economy was down in 2000, but Libs to this day are still crying about the election being 'stolen'. Kerry's best chance was Iraq, but the economy was moving up in '04.
The driving force behind the Democratic Party, the Libs/Communists, don't care about 'pocket books'. All they care about is their Leftist ideology (and their egos). That's why they're so peeved that Hillary and other Clintonites are back in there-to a Marxist, these guys are sell outs.
What we lack is a clear picture of Democratic vs. Republican economics as far as the average American goes. But with the MSM, Hollywood, and the education system run by Marxists, this isn't going to happen without doing some leg work on one's own.
