Georgia Showdown: Sarah Palin vs. Miss Alaska

By Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily

Tomorrow's Senate run-off election in Georgia presents Sarah Palin with the opportunity to settle an old score.

From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Martin spokesman Matt Canter also said Democrat (Jim Martin) will have "Georgia's own Miss Alaska" on hand to sing the national anthem at a 5:30 p.m. rally at the Capitol.

Bill Clinton Back to the Campaign Trail

By David Knowles - Politics Daily

If, in the wake of this year's historic and historically-long election, you still find yourself trolling the internet for relevant polling data, or casually checking cable news channels to see if a candidate, even one for 2012, might be delivering a speech of some kind, then you may be suffering Acute Campaign Withdrawal Syndrome.
