Crowd braved cold to hear Sarah Palin in Augusta

Sarah Palin (pictured) spoke to a crowd of several thousand in Augusta, Georgia yesterday to hear Alaska Governor Sarah Palin speak on behalf of U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss who is facing Democrat Jim Martin in a Tuesday runoff election.

Republican Senator Chambliss had the highest number of votes on Election Day, but Georgia state law requires 50 percent plus one vote for a victory. Because a third party candidate was also running, Chambliss fell just short of the 50 percent forcing the runoff contest.

More than 2,000 had sent RSVPs for the morning's event, and a long line stretched from the doors of the James Brown Arena up Seventh Street and down Telfair as people waited for the civic center doors to open.

Augusta was just one of the appearances Monday by Mrs. Palin.
