Alaska Governor and former Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin will campaign this coming week in Georgia for Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R), who is fighting to hold on to his Senate seat."I was thrilled when I got the call that Gov. Palin would be able to make the trip to Georgia to campaign with me the day before the runoff election," Chambliss said in a statement.
Palin will attend a fundraiser Sunday night and then appear at multiple campaign stops Monday in hopes of rallying the GOP base.
Chambliss won a plurality of the vote on Election Day three weeks ago, but state law mandates the winner to grab 50 percent plus one vote.
As a result of the inclusion of a third-party candidate, Chambliss fell just shy of that threshold, forcing a runoff between him and Democratic challenger Jim Martin.
