In 2002, Cleland lost his bid for a second Senate term to Representative Saxby Chambliss. Supporters blamed a Chambliss TV ad featuring the likenesses of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, while criticizing Cleland's votes against homeland security measures.<8> The ad, which Cleland supporters claimed questioned the senator's patriotism<9>, was removed after protests from prominent politicians including Republicans like John McCain and Chuck Hagel.<10> Chambliss supporters claimed the ad didn't question Cleland's patriotism, but rather his judgment.<11>
looks like john mccain is pulling a Chambliss now.
