Palin To Campaign In Georgia, Meet With Obama

Update, 11/25 8:30PM

The Anchorage Daily News is reporting that Palin will meet President-elect Obama early next week when she travels to Philadelphia after stumping for Chambliss in Georgia:

The governor is planning a trip to Georgia to campaign on behalf of Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss early next week on her way to Philadelphia to meet with her old foe, President-elect Barack Obama.

Obama is meeting with governors of both parties in Philadelphia to talk about the ailing economy. It's not clear how many governors are going to attend the Obama event, which the National Governors Association helped put together.

"I don't know if she has a one-on-one with (Obama)," said Palin spokesman Bill McAllister. "It may be, given that they were both involved in the national campaign." McAllister said Palin will be in Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday, and the state will pay for it. He said the Chambliss campaign will pay for Palin's side trip to Georgia.

TPM reports that Sarah Palin is going back on the trail on behalf of GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who is in a runoff election against Democrat Jim Martin:

Palin will be holding four rallies across the state, in a race that will make the difference in the Dems' efforts to get 60 seats this year, along with the Minnesota recount. This runoff election is all about jazzing up the base -- and whatever her faults, few if any Republicans did as good a job of that this year as Palin.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has more information on the event:

Palin, who drew large crowds while running for vice president with Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. John McCain, will appear at Chambliss rallies in Augusta, Savannah, Perry and Atlanta on Monday, the day before the Dec. 2 senate runoff between Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin.

The Atlanta rally has been tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m., but the location had not be determined Tuesday morning.

"I was thrilled when I got the call that Governor Palin would be able to make the trip to Georgia to campaign with me the day before the runoff election," Chambliss said in a press release.

The McCain-Palin ticket carried Georgia by about 200,000 votes.

Meanwhile, another Republican election figure (but one less popular with the conservative base) is campaigning for Chambliss in Georgia today -- former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

I think we will have Palin on the scene for years to come (no such luck as getting rid of her).

At least she provided some comedy.

Here is look back

Mrs Palin, "Jeopardy!" had a category about you yesterday. It was titled

"How Can We Miss You If You Won't Go Away?"

[Smoothsail]

Heard Obama didn't do too well in the # of states we have category..­.and Joe Biden failed the spelling section and the Presidential History section...
Where do we get all these smart politicians from?

[jingohatr]

Definitley not from Wasilla, Alaska! LOL! Don't you have anything better than the # of states thing? Obama knows how many states there are. Just a small gaffe, so what? Barely news. Palin can barely string together a complete sentence! Palin has made worse geographical mistakes. She think's Hawaii part of the lower 48! That including the other geographical mistakes she made while campaigning. There's so much more ammunition on Palin. Everytime she opens her mouth, ignorance prevails! Joe Biden is brilliant! He just talks too much. Obama and Biden are both smarter than Palin. And that aside, Barack Obama gets to be president! ROFLMAO!!!! The fact that you trolls cannot seem to win these 'debates' just proves that you are not very bright. Typical, for a shallow Palin supporter/rethug! Palin is ignorant, and clueless, just like you! And, the fact that you are even hanging around here, just proves that you are a sore loser!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!

[indi4obama]

Does that mean Palin will be palling around with whom she called "palling around with terrrrrists"?

[sherbug]

I expect thatt would make her palling around with those who pal around with terrorists. If she wants to keep palling around with terrorists off her resume, she should never be in Obama's presence.

[Raleigh Dave]

Thank god that she is almost 5000 miles to campaign for the republicans, that means one more senate seat for the Democrats.

Keep up the good work Sarah, we are only two seats shy of Veto power.

[maxbianco]

maybe they'll have coloring books and crayons for sarah

[yugogirl]

What an embarrassment she is! Check out www.moms4sarahpalin.com - you will be lol!

[AlaninElkGrove]

Gov. Palin is George Bush in a skirt and heels. If she were articulate and could speak in structured sentences (as we were taught in fourth grade) no one would be paying atention to her any more than Michelle Bachmann or Liddy Dole. People can't wait to hear what pops out of her pie-hole next, hence, the media frenzy. .

[deminmo]

Palin is a shrewed politician. Check her record of politics in
Alaska. She has an energy connection, Alaska has oil. Oh
and this will likely get snide remarks, but Alaska is trying to
get the oil companies to finance a natural gas pipeline.
Obama is a shrewed and careful politician. He picks former
enemies to solve some of the problems they caused. If they
did talk there would surely be benefits for both.
Palin might not be your usual Washington elite. And she might
not be the best educated. But street savy can get you places.

[Lori411]

What can dumb get you?

[Dodge]

What can dumb get you.... a $150K wardrobe for the Wasilla Hillbillie­s...

[idontknowanything]

He is a saint to agree to that meeting. I couldn't stand to be in the same room as her, and she has never slurred me as she has done to the President-Elect.

[Smoothsail]

Discussing a candidates history an relations is now considered a slur?
Wow.....we are in trouble if that is the case.

[a canadian observer]

She wasn't discussing candidate's history and relations. We all know what her ntentions were, including inciting hatred and violence toward her opponent at her rallies. If she really wished to discuss a candidate's history and relations, she should've discussed her husband's membership with the AIP and her assotiation with the AIP and it's member a.k.a. her husband.

[annschneider1]

I so wish he wouldn't do that.

[Smoothsail]

Get used to it.
He's going to do many many things you will wish he hadn't done.

[annschneider1]

I know, I'm way too liberal.

[rockyersocksoff]

Palin and her other pseudo-Christian pals could take a REAL lesson in love and forgiveness from Obama and his actions in the past weeks.

But they won't. They can't.

[callmemara]

amen, amen

[Mygirl]

Oh please, make her go away !

[oriam]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEE­EEASE!!!!!­!!!!!

[myworld]

ditto

[WaimeaWidow]

Let's see ... Palin had to be ordered by McCain's staff to go on stage with pro-choice candidates while campaigning for president, and she insinuated that Obama was a terrorist by association. So, how in the world can she even think about being anywhere near PE Obama now?

Can someone please make this woman go away!

[Smoothsail]

I follwed the campaign very closely and never heard Palin "insinuate that Obama was a terroirst by association".
You missed the pont of the Ayers issue...no one ever suggested that Obama was a terrorist.­.what is questioned is Obama's judegment and his honesty..h­e first said Ayers was a guy he saw walking the dog in his neighborho­od...turns out there was much more too it than that...
Basically Obama lied..and that is a problem.
And he also lied about Rev. Wright...

[Veronica]

So how did pushing that super-important "test of judgment" Ayers thing work out for you guys? Oh, that's right....g­uess it wasn't that much of a "problem" for Obama after all...

[callmemara]

obviously you did not follow it closely enough.

[Paz1980]

Obama never lied...
He was 8 years old when Ayers did those bombings..­.
And you need to stop using those damned ellipses..­..
Kinda makes you sound like that wild-haired old lady...
You know the one at McCain's rally....
Called Obama an Arab....
Which you probably believe too...
Kind of annoying isn't it....
He's your president now....
Get used to it.....or move to Italy....
You'd get along with Berlusconi­....

[hatethehype]

The Dearly Departed Smoothsail should spend less time worrying about the President-elect and more time investing in Spelling 101.

[swanie]

It would be a HUGE mistake for Obama to meet with the "empty suit" by herself.

Enough said.
.

[wagthedog1001]

There at least aught to be pre-conditions before they meet face to face. "Turkey terrorists" can't be trusted.

[Smoothsail]

But we can trust baby killers?
Why are you more concerned about turkeys than babies??
By the way Palin was pardoning a turkey not klling it...duh.

[Michelle124]

Doubt he will. He knows he'd be giving her credibility, and he's too smart for that. I'd highly doubt he meets with her.

[swanie]

GREAT ! !

Now when Chambliss loses, she can tell us how much she helped him, and he can tell us how glad he is that she "helped" him.

What an absolute loser and "empty suit" she is.

Enough said.
