Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is lending her star power this week to the re-election effort of Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.

Palin’s campaign appearances for Chambliss—four total—were her first since she and Republican presidential nominee John McCain stumbled on Nov. 4. Georgia Republicans clearly were looking ahead, with supporters waiting in the cold for more than an hour to attend the rallies. Vendors in Augusta sold bright pink “Palin 2012″ T-shirts and “Palin for President: You Go Girl” buttons. Chants of “Sa-rah!” greeted Palin.

Palin’s appearance really should put Chambliss over the top in Georgia. Much to the chagrin of elitist republicans like David Brooks, Sarah Palin has a very bright future in the party — a very bright future indeed.

Saxby’s democratic challenger Jim Martin on the other hand has hip-hop superstar Ludacris on the campaign trail with him.

I like Luda’s music a lot, but I’m betting the ‘Cuda has a bigger effect than Luda.
