Things I'm paying attention to in GA:
* Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate, is from Georgia, popular there, and on the ballot; I've seen predictions that he'll draw as much as 2%. I'm not a Libertarian, but I'm guessing his votes get siphoned off of McCain.
* Saxby Chambliss is running within the MOE of Jim Martin, his Dem challenger. Chambliss took Max Cleland's seat in a campaign where he ran ads comparing Cleland, who lost 3 limbs in Vietnam, to Osama bin Laden. Chambliss evaded the draft.
