  <blurb>The &lt;a href="http://www.swingstateproject.com/"&gt;Swing State Project&lt;/a&gt; has been analyzing key races across the country for five years, but we&amp;#39;ve only endorsed three candidates in our time: &lt;a href="http://www.actblue.com/page/ssp"&gt;Jon Tester&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.actblue.com/page/ssp4childers"&gt;Travis Childers&lt;/a&gt;, and now, Georgia Senate candidate Jim Martin.

&lt;br /&gt;We&amp;#39;ve had our eye on Martin&amp;#39;s campaign against the odious Saxby Chambliss for some time, but this race has only recently tightened in the polls, and SSP was the first prognosticator to &lt;a href="http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3333"&gt;give it a highly competitive rating&lt;/a&gt; (just like we were for the &lt;a href="http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1609"&gt;MS-01 special election&lt;/a&gt;). This is a winnable race, but only if we put our money where are mouths are and give Martin the resources he needs. Please lend a hand!</blurb>

      <pageblurb>Jim Martin is a progressive populist running against the despicable GOP Senator Saxby Chambliss. Recent polling shows a surprisingly tight race, so let&amp;apos;s help turn this deep red state a bright shade of blue by lending Martin a hand.</pageblurb>
