Bill Clinton Campaigns for Jim Martin


Bill Clinton stopped in Atlanta today at get-out-the-vote rally for Jim Martin. The former President, after what seemed like forever, got on stage and spoke about his relationship with Jim Martin and the importance of getting out to vote in the run-off election on December 2nd (there is early voting too, so check with your local election officials for polling times and locations). He framed it not as a choice between Republicans and Democrats, and not as a battle to get to 60 Senate seats, but as a choice between building a bridge to a future, or building a "firewall," to use the Chambliss phrase, in front of that bridge. Despite some of his appearances earlier in the primary campaign season, at this event he seemed to be at top Bill Clinton form, the Bill Clinton that we grew to admire. So everyone, please get out and vote for the bridge, not the wall, and lets husk some corn together.

  3. All of my photos turned out blurry because Bill was running a bit (30 minutes at least, I think more) late, so it got dark, and my cameras, both of them that I brought, apparently don't handle the dark too well.
