Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, fresh off his victory in a runoff election against Democrat Jim Martin, says Sarah Palin gave him the boost he needed. "I can't overstate the impact she had down here," the Republican Senator said in an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning.

"We had John McCain and Mike Huckabee and Gov. Romney and Rudy Giuliani, but Sarah Palin came in on the last day, did a fly-around and, man, she was dynamite," Chambliss said. "We packed the houses everywhere we went. And it really did allow us to peak and get our base fired up."

"When she walks in a room, folks just explode," he added. And they really did pack the house everywhere we went. She's a dynamic lady, a great administrator, and I think she's got a great future in the Republican Party."

Chambliss was forced into a runoff when he failed to win a majority of the vote on November 4th. In Tuesday's runoff, he beat Martin by double-digits.

Oh Chambliss...Palin had nothing to do with it and you know it. Run off's typically have low voter turn out.

Thank the old geezers that voted you in, they're the only ones that turned out. Don't give Palin too much credit or it'll go to her head.

Let the GOP keep their fantasies about the magic of SP.

If so, it's very sad that a such hate spreader with this voice can have any influence on people.
She reminds of bargainers on a marketplace

Oooh, I think we could all see that coming! Go ahead, GOP and lull yourself into thinking that a speech for a sure winner in a Georgia Senate run-off can translate into a victory in 2012!

"I am so appreciative and, also, like very much to thank those wonderful opportunities to and those we are given to express our support for the policies which will likely and definately when the door is opened or just cracked and we barrel through".

Don't worry intellegent life forms...none of us understand what she says. Run her in 2012, please.

God...did she say that?

She is so un-understandable. I guess that is why her following are the intellectually challenged.

She says things much worse than that. She says she's qualified to run this nation.

Oh, Please.

The polls all agreed that Chambliss would win. Why do you think Palin stepped in? Because she knew he would win. If she thought at all that he would lose, do you think she would have put her neck out? No way.

I knew this would happen. Even though she didn't campaign for him until the LAST day before the re-election, I knew the Republicans would say SHE was the reason he won.

Go home Palin, and stay there.

Since when did Georgia vote any way but Republican, anyway.

Palin had nothing to do with the win.

It really only takes the lowest form of intelligence to like Palin.

Palin is the mouthpiece of the GOP, not the soul. If she runs in 2012 and picks " Plumber Joe" as her VP she just might make it. Can you imagine them working us out of this MESS George " W" left us ?

LOL

she's such a great administrator that she hasn't been doing her administrator job for over 4 months now.

i get that these GOP folks just love to act like they're down-to-earth, wholesome folks, but truly the only thing they know how to do is scare people, make them afraid of things they don't understand and in the end, offer no solutions only more fear and loathing.

in short, they are sickening
