Major candidates

Democratic

Max Cleland, incumbent U.S. Senator

Republican

Saxby Chambliss, U.S. Representative

Campaign

Chambliss's campaign used the refrain of national defense and security, but drew criticism for television ads that paired images of Cleland and Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, and for questioning the commitment to homeland security of his opponent, a triple amputee and decorated Vietnam veteran.^[2]^[3] Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona said of one ad, "It's worse than disgraceful, it's reprehensible."^[4] McCain, along with Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, made significant complaints to the Republican National Committee until the ads were taken down.^[5]
