If you tired of the two-year presidential campaigns, you may be in a daze with everything that is happening post-election. In this interview with Mark Willen, Senior Editor for Politics and Government at Kiplinger’s, Politics ‘08 Blog, we cover the current state of affairs from Hillary’s potential cabinet position, to Palin’s efforts to out-do Britney Spears in media coverage, to the Chambliss-Martin battle here in Georgia, the magic number of 60, and last but not least, what happens in four years if Obama and the Democrats don’t deliver.

It’s good listening for a lazy, wet weekend, if I do say so myself.

I should point out that Mark thinks Obama should avoid a personal appearance here in Georgia on Martin’s behalf. Mark’s observation:

Obama is doing what he can to help. He’s lent his considerable organization to Martin and is bringing in more than 100 volunteers from neighboring states to help turn out the vote. He’ll probably cut some campaign ads for Martin and maybe make some video appearances.

But a trip to Georgia is another matter entirely. In the end, Obama has little to gain and everything to lose. So far, he is doing a reasonably good job of staying above the partisan fray, and he needs to keep doing that if he is to have any chance to achieve a level of bipartisanship. A campaign trip now would undercut that. He should remember what happened to Democrats under similar circumstances in 1992. President-elect Bill Clinton campaigned for Sen. Wyche Fowler in a Georgia runoff, only to ratchet up partisan resentments and have his reputation tarnished when Fowler lost.

Politics is a hard occupation. He who lives by…., dies by. As much as I would like to see Obama visit our Red State, Mark’s observation might prove true considering that, to date, there has been no announcement of any Obama trip. McCain, campaigning for Chambliss, has already come and gone.

At least everyone agrees the Chambliss/Martin run-off is going to be a matter of voter turnout.

So, there is no need to lie about voting, just GO VOTE!!!!!
