And in Georgia, a poll released Thursday shows Democrat Jim Martin within striking distance of Sen. Saxby Chambliss in a surprisingly close runoff scheduled for Dec. 2.

The last poll results I saw before I went to bed election night showed Chambliss with over 50%, so why a runoff? Did the rats generate enough votes to force it somehow???

GWB legacy, lose 2006+2008 and democrats get complete power. This Autoworkers bailout keeps GWB in spotlight. We definitely have a harder time than 1992. The 700B bailout gamble GWB did definitely lost and now he has handed democrats everything they need to to completely socialize america. Coleman voted for bailout, Frankin against

What difference does it make? There will always be a handful of RINO’s available to break any filibuster. How about McCain?

So now we know that the army of Obama lawyers went to Alaska for more than just digging up dirt on Palin... They were making sure the fix was in.

Nah nah hey hey, kiss the Senate goodbye. They’ll have 58 if Stevens loses, plus the two who caucus with them and any liberal RINOs that cave under pressure. Just hope Franken loses for the overall good of mankind but don’t get all depressed about the Senate being fillibuster-proof, cuz that’s already all but a sure thing.

The bailout was the beginning of the end of this chapter of the Republican Party. And quite possibly the end of the Republic for that matter.

I used to think that history would be kind to GWB when looked at impartially a decade from now.

Now I think that we will see what a fraud he really was. If it weren’t for the War, I doubt I would have voted for him in 2004.

On election night it looked like Chambliss had avoided a run-off, but he wound up about 8500 votes short of an absolute majority of the votes.

Liberals are like toddlers........things don’t go their way and they hold their breath, stamp their feet, cry, scream, pitch a fit...anything but accept reality.

We need to stop worrying. We all know that the Supreme Court is mostly held by good, law-abiding judges. If ANY of these races end up there, they will be shot down. The Dems will have to suck it up at that point.
There will be no fillibuster-proof Senate. There just won’t. It isn’t in the cards for them.

Hmmm... imagine that.

What I find really odd... why is it that the vast majority of “provisional” ballots are cast for the Democrat candidate?

This is why I don’t see that the GOP, at any political level, has actually seriously learned anything from the ‘08 elections. As far as the U.S. Senate is concerned, the NRSC is still pushing to stop the D’s from getting sixty D’s while also completely ignoring all of the remaining Senate RINO’s, who are more often than not agreeing with the D’s on many issues and on many votes. The GOP is totally useless when they just as equally treat the RINO’s as if they are complete conservatives on all of the issues! A continuing “politically spineless” GOP will always remain a political minority!

If Franken wins, will he get with Senator Feinstein and author a Franken-stein Bill?

Go crawl back in your troll hole Mr. "I just joined FR today"

I hope you just forgot your /sarcasm tag. But this is serious, and none of us here are laughing.
