Jim Martin is Job.  He sacrifices, he gives, and he does so with a faithful smile on his face knowing the pain and suffering he will endure.  After running for Lt. Governor with a Candidate whose loss was assured, he has volunteered to run for Senate.

God love him; he must see Dulcinea in every Georgia Voter.  What makes this so sad is that it isn’t Martin who is crazy, it’s everyone else.  The guy is qualified all over the place.  He’s run a state department, he’s been a legislator, and he has worked in the private sector, and yet people don’t elect him.  They hate the result.  He runs again.

He’s dealt with big time inner city problems, he knows the importance of getting the budget balanced and getting funding of essentials such as better child care, transportation, and public safety.  Yet, people don’t elect him.  They hate the result.  He runs again.

His temperament is low key, he’s highly professional, and he actually gives a care.  That’s why he keeps running against seemingly unbeatable foes.  Regrettably, that means he may well be tilting at windmills in this state.   Still, his is a dream worth chasing…. even if it might be impossible.
