Brazile to advise Martin

ATLANTA (AP) -- Donna Brazile, a well-known Democratic pundit who led Al Gore's White House bid, is coming to Georgia to help Jim Martin.

Brazile will be advising Martin's runoff campaign against Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss.

Brazile said in an e-mail to Democrats that she "cleared her calendar" after learning Martin had forced a runoff with Chambliss.

Brazile has some experience with runoffs. She helped Sen. Mary Landrieu win a 2002 runoff in her native Louisiana.

Brazile is perhaps best known for her political pundit duties on CNN. She was Al Gore's campaign manager in his unsuccessful presidential race against George W. Bush, becoming the first African-American to lead a major presidential campaign.
