Sarah Palin back on campaign trail

Large cheering crowds showed up for Sarah Palin’s vice presidential campaign appearances.

Palin (pictured) is now in Georgia campaigning for Sen. Saxby Chambliss.

Chambliss is the freshman Republican senator from Georgia who is fighting to keep his seat. He's facing Jim Martin -- a former state lawmaker in Georgia -- in the runoff election.

Chambliss won a plurality of the vote on Election Day, but Georgia state law requires 50 percent plus one vote for a victory. Due to the inclusion of a third party candidate, Chambliss fell just shy of that threshold, forcing a runoff contest.
