Chatham Dems

 
Dear Committee Members:
 
Happy New Year, fellow Democrats!  I look forward to 2009 as a year of growth, unity and renewal for our local party. We had major sucesses with the general election in November and in helping Jim Martin take Chatham County in his ultimately unsuccessful bid for US Senate. The CCDC gave time, money […]

I wanted to bring to your attention that on January 20th the Chatham County Democratic Committee and The Savannah Business League will be celebrating Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration by having a Black and White Inaugural Gala at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center.

For the first time, Chatham County appears in the list of top 5 counties for turnout in early voting for the runoff!
Well done, everyone. The GOTV effort is obviously working. Keep up the good work.
Early voting turnout is still only 23% black, so we have more work to do. If anyone has a free hour, […]

Early voting turnout for our side is low after the first day.
Check out the early voting turnout here at the Secretary of State’s web site. Turnout needs to be over 30% African-American for us to win. At the moment, it is only 24% black. This means Democrats are not yet voting in sufficient numbers.
Please come […]

To keep with the upcoming events, I am announce to run for relection for my Vice-Chairseat.
I  am hoping that you will Vote for Me and continued with the Strong Democratic effort in Chatham County and the State of Georgia, with a look at taking back the Governor Seat in 2010.
Thanks,

Tommy J. Boondry

Photos cannot begin to describe the chaos in the office on election day. Hundreds of volunteers acted as poll watchers, drivers to fetch and carry for the party in the evening, runners to take water and snacks to polling places, phone-bankers to make sure people had voted, and sign-wavers who had half of Savannah honking […]

Thanks to everyone’s hard work, Chatham is now one of the bluest counties in Georgia.
I was sure that Obama would win here, but the votes for Jim Martin are even more impressive. Johnny Kerry beat George Bush by about 500 votes in 2004. In 2008, Jim Martin beat Chambliss by 13,000 votes!
As a result, […]

To all Voter Remember to vote on November 4, 2008. This is a very important election………..
Very vote is important…………..

Research 2000 has conducted a poll for Daily Kos (October 28-30).
Likely voters with a margin of error of 4%:
Chambliss (R) 47
Martin (D) 46
Buckley (L) 5
BUT, among those who have already voted (12% of the sample), we find this:
Chambliss (R) 39
Martin (D) 56
Buckley (L) 5
The same thing holds with the presidential race:
Likely voters:
McCain (R) 47
Obama (D) […]

Anyone who can spare an hour, should come to HQ and make some GOTV phone calls. (109 Victory Drive, 660-4529).

At all hours, people are working away, making phone calls from HQ, driving people to polling places, and canvassing round the neighborhoods. You’d enjoy the atmosphere. (Also the staggering quantities of food that appear at all […]

Pollster.com now rates Georgia a tossup based on the fact that blacks make up 35% of early voters this year. For a Democrat to have a chance in Georgia, at least 30% of voters need to be black, meaning that only 25-30% of whites have to vote Democratic for a win. (Let’s hope all those […]
