You betcha Sarah Palin is popular with the GOP crowd in Georgia.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lent her rock-star status to U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss this afternoon in a state fly-around that GOP strategists hope will help put Chambliss over the top in Tuesday’s Senate runoff against Democrat Jim Martin.

Palin was greeted by cheers of “Sarah! Sarah!” in what is decidedly Republican country: south Houston County. More than 2,700 people RSVP’d for the rally at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter, one of several appearances for the duo today across Georgia. Meanwhile, Martin is mustering his own strength for Tuesday’s runoff, appearing in Macon this afternoon with veterans and in Atlanta this evening with rap star Ludacris.

And, where is Obama?

Barry lent his “organizers” but not his own political Capital.

‘Cuda 1 – Barry 0 – providing Chambliss wins.
