Thurmond said his campaign would
accentuate his qualifications rather
than criticize Isakson. ¡°I have never
run a negative add. ¡ People are tired
of negative politics,¡± he said. ¡°I am
going to focus on my record and vision.¡±
Thurmond became emotional when he
talked about his poverty-stricken
background. The son of a sharecropper,
he grew up in a rural area near Athens
in a house without indoor plumbing.
¡°I¡¯m a living, breathing testament
that the American dream is alive and
well in this country today,¡± he said.

Senator
Isakson
released a statement promising to wage a
vigorous re-election campaign that will
emphasize the differences between Republicans in
Washington and majority Democrats led by
President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid.
¡°Georgians will get to choose whether they want
someone who represents their conservative values
or someone who will push the Obama-Reid-Pelosi
agenda of government health care, cap-and-trade
taxes, skyrocketing debt, auto bailouts,
government takeover of student loans, jobless
stimulus packages, terrorist trials in U.S.
courts and forced unionization of private sector
employees by repealing their secret ballot,¡±
Isakson said.
