(1) Poll shows Cagle ahead of Martin & (2) "A somber note from a campaign." - You can say that again.

Today's ajc reports that a recent ajc poll reveals Sen. Casey Cagel with a 42% showing compared with 32% for Jim Martin.

It's time for Jim Martin to return to the "somber note" ad that was the subject of a 7-14-06 post. That post, entitled "'A somber note from a campaign.' - You can say that again," read:

In an article entitled "A somber note from a campaign," ajc's Political Insider notes:

Jim Martin, one of five Democratic candidates for governor, is closing his campaign with the emotional grabber of the season. It’s a 30-second TV spot in which he recounts the 1980 kidnapping of his 8-year-old daughter, Becky.

She was walking the two blocks home from Morningside Elementary School in Atlanta, when a man pulled up to her and asked her for directions. The man grabbed her and drove off — but threw her out of the car shortly afterwards.

“I’ll never forget the way she trembled when she faced her kidnapper in court. That’s one reason I fought so hard for crime victims, and to lock up violent criminals,” Martin says to the camera.

The ad’s posted here at Martin’s web site.
