Sarah Palin is going back on the campaign trail, just a few weeks after returning to Alaska from her two-month run for vice president.
The governor is planning a trip to Georgia to campaign on behalf of Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss early next week on her way to Philadelphia to meet with her old foe, president-elect Barack Obama.
Obama is meeting with governors of both parties in Philadelphia to talk about the ailing economy. It's not clear how many governors are going to attend the Obama event, which the National Governors Association helped to put together.
"I don't know if she has a one on one with (Obama)," said Palin spokesman Bill McAllister. "It may be, given that they were both involved in the national campaign." McAllister said Palin will be in Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday, and the state will pay for it. He said the Chambliss campaign will pay for Palin's side trip to Georgia.
Palin will join Chambliss for rallies Monday in Augusta, Savannah, Perry and Atlanta. Chambliss is in a close runoff election with Democrat Jim Martin.
What's the benefit to Alaska for Palin to campaign for Chambliss?
"Well, I don't know. It's a political event so I'm reluctant to comment much on it. But she works pretty hard, so you could consider it a day off," McAllister said. "I don't know that it necessarily has to have a direct benefit for Alaska, although probably you could make some argument there's an indirect one."
This is Palin's second trip out of state since coming back to work at the governor's office on Nov. 7.

Sarah Palin to campaign for Chambliss - Where and When
Unfortunately, it's posted in Bloggers/Personal so won't be seen much.
They are probably Obama's people and also the GOP is working out in the open and under wraps to destroy Sarah Palin.
Time for me to eat crow!
I thought in a million years they would not get her here to support him!
I am in shock!
Great. Now if Chambliss loses, everyone (including Republicans it seems) can blame Sarah for his loss.

Look at it from the bright side. She’s just told us that she’s seriously considering running for President in 2012-—if not, she would have just stayed in Alaska and saved herself all the grief. UH? -:)
“The guy is really out of his league. I’m sure he has served her well in the past, but she needs better people if she wants to be involved in national politics.”
I think there is a shortage of slick shysters in Gov. Palin’s people.
Those same people on the ADN blogs have been talking smack about Palin since early September, when they all “joined.” They are clearly not Alaskans but instead bloggers for Obama/the Dems. Clearly, they still fear Palin as they jump on ANY Palin article, supportive/good or not.
I’m not surprised “she” has decided to support “him. Sarah is a class act, and could be counted on to help where and when needed. If asked. (She apparently did not call first.)
I AM surprised HE decided (had the guts/nerve/imagination) to call HER for HER help!
The venues for the rallies in Georgia are indoor areans since it is cold. The ones being held in Augusta, Savannah and Perry can old 10,000+, and the one near Atlanta about 15,000+. My guess is that they will be filled to capacity. Since they are traveling by bus to the various cities, they might stop along the way for some unscheduled campaigning.
Both Bill Clinton and Al Gore were in Atlanta, Bill drew 3,000 and Al drew about 500. Donna Brazile, Gore’s former campaign manager, was in Atlanta yesterday speaking at Spelman College, an all black college, and her “crowd” was 75 students and facalty, kind of pathetic when you think about it. Even Clinton and Gore’s crowds were pathetic since they were held in Atlanta which is a democrat stronghold.
