Ralph Reed says how he will campaign in Georgia.

Ralph Reed, who has been national chairman of the Christian Coalition, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party and had prominent roles in President Bush’s campaigns, tells a rally Friday how he intends to run his campaign in Georgia:

“My advice is we ignore the pundits, the polls and the press ... and stand for what’s right,’’ said Reed.

Reed left them with a plea to get busy. “We won by 537 votes,’’ he said, referring to the incredibly slim margin by which Bush won the White House in 2000.

“We won because people like us knocked on doors, made phone calls, stuffed envelopes and did all the grass-roots things. ... I’m asking you to do it one more time.’’
