ATLANTA (AP) -- Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is coming to
Georgia to stump for Republican Karen Handel in her governor's race
runoff bid.

Palin will appear at a rally with Handel August 9th, the day
before the August 10th runoff. The event will take plaace in the
metro-Atlanta area.

Palin's endorsement of Handel just before the July 20th primary
is widely credited with helping ignite her campaign and catapulting
her into the runoff as the top vote-getter.

Handel, Georgia's former secretary of state, is facing Nathan
Deal, an ex-congressman from Gainesville, for their party's
nomination to take on Democrat Roy Barnes in November.

Palin has said women activists -- or "mama grizzlies" as she
calls them -- will lead a conservative wave this November. Palin's
support for Nikki Haley in South Carolina is credited with helping
fuel Haley's Republican gubernatorial primary win.
