GA-Sen: The DSCC is investing heavily in Georgia.

Absolutely. Chambliss is now going after Martin who was Director of DHR when a child died because of DFCS screwed up. Of course DFCS screwed up. They were under-manned and under-funded. Jim was a Saint to even take on that job. Chambliss “swift boated” Cleland. Now he’s doing the same with Jim. I’m writing the AJC as we apeak…
