AUGUSTA, Ga. - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is urging Georgia voters to back Sen. Saxby Chambliss in Tuesday's runoff with Democrat Jim Martin.

The former vice presidential candidate rallied with Chambliss across the state Monday. She told a cheering crowd in Augusta that the first step in rebuilding the GOP begins with their southern state.

"The eyes of the nation are on you Georgia and the eyes of the nation are on what happens here tomorrow," said Palin.

Palin's campaign appearances in Georgia for Chambliss were her first since she and Republican presidential nominee John McCain lost to Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden on Nov. 4.

Vendors in Augusta sold bright pink “Palin 2012” T-shirts and “Palin for President: You Go Girl'' buttons.

Governor Sarah Palin has placed the Alaska National Guard on the highest state of alert during her visit to Georgia Today! The Governor wanted to take every precaution against another attack by Russia against Georgia during her visit to help Senator Chambliss in his election bid. We're locked and loaded here in Alaska Mr. Putin! She also said that none of the clothes that she is appearing in are from Saks or Neiman Marcus ande the "First Dude" ain't wearing no silk undees!
