It looks like the GOP is serious as a heart attack at keeping Senator Saxby in office.

Sen. John Ensign said Wednesday that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has transferred $2 million earmarked for the Senate runoff in Georgia to the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which was $4 million in debt after Election Day.

That is some serious cheddar right there, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will be in Atlanta next week to raise even more dough for Georgia's senior U.S. Senator [Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution, "Call him D’Artagnan: Giuliani completes a GOP parade of presidential ex’s", November 19, 2008].

Just in case you're wondering where the big bats for the Democrats are, the Martin for Senate campaign sent out an email to supporters this morning informing them that former Vice President Al Gore would be in Atlanta Sunday evening for a $125 per person fundraiser.
