I think we have a good chance to start chipping away at the Republican gains in Georgia in 2008 but we must start today. I think we need a member of Congress to run against Saxby. Preferably Jim Marshall but I think that Sanford Bishop and John Barrow will work too.
We need them to meet with the house leadership and come up with the funding gap for Peachcare. Then they have a big press conference with the party leadership and a bunch of kids and parents in the background.
The line to be used in the media should be something like "While the Georgia Legislature decided to take a recess and ignore thousands of innocent children, we were fighting to make sure that every child in Georgia has access to healthcare". We use this issue in working family homes throughout the state to show that Democrats have the same values as everyday Georgians.
We also need a presidential candidate with an actual pulse who will not kill every Democratic candidate in Georgia.
The 10th district race is also very important for 2008. If we make this seat competitive now, we lay the groundwork for an excellent field campaign for other races to come.
We also need our safe congressmen to campaign like they are in for the fight of their lives. If they campaign hard, they can energize our base in those districts and increase voter turnout.

there are three people who can beat chambliss in '08 & there are sanford bishop, jim marshall, & michael thurmond but i take sanford bishop because if he were to run & beat chambliss then the 2nd congressional seat would stay in dems hands & someone like former secretaty of state cathy cox, state rep. calvin smyre, or state rep. mike cheokas (d) americus would keep that seat.
I agree that sanford bishop would make one hell of a candidate against semator chambliss. He can raise the money, he is a blue dog conservative democrat, & he represents a rural district in south georgia. plus the national democrats would put millions of dollars in that campaign & he would get alot of media coverage in that race because he would be trying to become the first african-american to win a senate seat from the south since reconstruction. plus bring in barack obama to campaign on his behalf would bring excitement among georgia democrats, & pump in some much needed life in the state party.
