"We feel great about our campaign," Martin said in a telephone interview. "People want someone to go to Washington who is an independent voice but who will also work with our president."
Martin planned to cap election eve campaigning with a Capitol rally with Atlanta rapper Ludacris.
The Martin camp is working to get black voters back to the polls. Black turnout in Georgia topped 30 percent in the general election with Obama on the ticket. It's been only 23 percent in early voting in for the Senate runoff.
Martin had invited Obama to campaign with him. The president-elect recorded a radio ad and automated phone calls for Martin but never made it to Georgia. Some 100 Obama field operatives flocked to the state to work on grassroots efforts to get voters back to the polls.
