Unofficial And Incomplete Results of the Tuesday, December 02, 2008 General Election Runoff
http://sos.georgia.gov/elections/election_results/2008_1202/003.htm
With 10 percent in... Chambliss 150,522 to Martin’s 76,682
And if Chambliss wins, he owes it to Conservatives who attempted to give him a scare not knowing that a lot of other voters had the same idea.
We nearly scared ourselves out of a Senate seat. And Chambliss needs to remember to vote like a Republican and not a RINO.
Thanks for posting that!
If Chambliss wins by a big margin, will the lamestream medjia say that he would have won by a “really really big margin” if Palin hadn’t campaigned for him and screwed it up.
This is great news!

“And Chambliss needs to remember to vote like a Republican and not a RINO.”
Isakson should take note as well.
Unfortunately Fulton and DeKalb counties (which account for nearly 20% of the votes) have not reported yet and Martin took both of them by HUGE margins.

This is the first election of the 2010 cycle, and its turning out to be a repudiation of Obama.

Fortunately that doesn't account for 80 Percent of the Georgia Vote, which Chambliss is acing.
I don't think many of those Obama voters will manage to make it to the polls again just to elect some old white guy.
If Obama can not carry Georgia in the Presidential Election, how does Jim Martin think he can win in a Runoff?
I think you are probably right, I just don't want to celebrate too soon.
Good point.
Fulton has 344 precincts, that is nuts. Talk about being crammed in there like cattle. I’m guessing that must be Atlanta. What a shame that large cities vote like cattle too. Hopefully the Obama supporters forgot it was an election day since they are too busy getting ready to be disappointed by the President-elect.
Atlanta Urinal and Constipation reports Chambliss 65 percent Martin 35 percent with 21 percent of the vote counted as of 8:15 pm local time. Hopefully, this trend will continue, and deliver a loud and clear message to obama, and the rest of the country as well.
The Trend is continuing... With 47 percent of votes in.. Chambliss leads with 62.3%

AP reporting it’s over. Chambliss wins
CNN has just announced because of Palin, Chambliss only won by 20 percent. If Palin had not gone to Georgia, Chambliss would have won by at least 40 percent. Once again, Palin has been shown to be a drag on a ticket.
Some good news. Praise heaven.
LOL! that’s good.
Great news. It was so important to keep dimocrats from 60 senate seats.
I won’t be surprised if CNN or MSNBC trot out some kind of “survey” that shows that even more people would have voted for Chambliss if Gov. Palin hadn’t come to campaign for him. If not CNN or MSNBC, some leftwing looney blogger will come up with it. Wait for, it’s coming.
