Martin Endorses Reed for Mayor
ATLANTA (AP) As the runoff for Atlanta mayor gears up, state Sen. Kasim Reed is getting a plug from another Democrat whose race went into extra innings.
Jim Martin who was in a runoff last year against Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss announced his endorsement of Reed Monday afternoon.
Martin lost his bid to unseat Chambliss after a high-profile runoff that drew political heavyweights from both parties to Georgia.
Reed is facing off against City Councilwoman Mary Norwood in a Dec. 1 runoff after neither won more than 50 percent of the vote last week.

What others are saying
- AtlantaWho is Jim Martin?
- LOLI didn't even remember who that was until I read the line that reminded me.
- Martin EndorsementJim Martin must think highly of himself. Who cares who he endorses.
- So...And does this surprise anyone. Maybe Jim Martin can crawl under the rock Jimmy Carter should be under. What a loser.
- EndorsementJust what you want - a loser endorsing you; I would have said "no thanks," regardless of how well he may have polled in the ATL
- Martin's motiveBy endorsing Reed, Martin is just lining up the black vote for himself for the next election. Pandering Ho.
