Palin to Campaign in Ga. for Handel

ATLANTA, Ga. - Republican candidate for Georgia Governor Karen Handel announced Friday that former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will campaign on her behalf ahead of the the August 10 runoff election.

Palin is scheduled to campaign for Handel on Monday, August 9 in Georgia. That’s the day before the primary runoff election.

“I'm coming to Georgia to campaign with my friend Karen because it is absolutely critical that Georgians nominate an ethical leader and a true conservative to take the fight to Roy Barnes in November,” Palin said. “Karen Handel is a strong, pro-life leader who isn't afraid to take on the status quo and do the right thing. She will be the 21st Century Governor Georgia needs to tenaciously address the state’s challenges.”

“I am very excited that Governor Palin is coming to Georgia to help our final get-out-the-vote push,” Handel said. “The energy and enthusiasm she will bring will make a huge difference in the final push to victory in the run-off election.”

Palin will appear in a rally scheduled for noon on August 9 at a location that is yet to be determined.
