The polls close in ten minutes. Hopefully Georgia has held the line today. Poll traffic was reported as steady here Northeast Atlanta today...

[Jeff Head]

90% reporting.

Chambliss (R) - 58.9% (1,100,212)
Martin (D) - 41.1% (768,199)

332,000 vote lead!

WAY TO GO GEORGIA!

PLEASE WRITE YOUR SENATORS!

[Sarah Barracuda]

92% of precincts reporting..

Chambliss

(R)
1,109,659

Martin
(D)
808,016

[laconic]

The unions didn’t act like Martin had “little chance”. According to today’s WSJournal, they poured over $ 1 milion into the state, called each of their members four times, and were joined in spending gobs of money by noxious outfits like NARAL.

Even Obama knew that the voters were not going to turn out for some old white dude like they turned out for him.

This is a wonderful night to have Chambliss win after Sarah was there for two days campaigning and adding energy to the campaign.

She is such a breath of fresh air for the GOP.

Step One in taking back seats in the Senate is complete!

“Rove has estimated that almost 5 millions Republicans stayed home on November 4th 2008 and many of them are from battleground states “

Yeah.
And for that, blame the Bush, McCain, Rove amnesty bill, and the McCain vote for the horrendous $700 billion bailout. Rove should blame himself and his master Bush, for 5 million Republicans staying home.

I’m surprised DeKalb is a liberal nest and Fulton is relatively close. Usually there’s a linear relationship between Democrat voting and proximity to large urban areas. What is DeKalb county like, anyway, that places it so far to the left?

[Jeff Head]

Rest of DEKALB came in.

"Would Jim Webb (D-VA) support a mandate that all primers manufactured ammo degrade after a year?"

I should hope so! That's insane!!!!!

[Jeff Head]

Amen...now for Franken to lose.

[jwalsh07]

Same as the rest of America, it’s urban. Rats nest in urban settings. :-}

YES, a big thank you to Georgia from the People's Republic of Illinois.

At least for the moment, the Republic is saved.

[jveritas]

Excellent. I am glad that the unions wasted 1 million dollars in this Senate race :)

[higgmeister]

I darn sure voted for Cain in the primary over Isakson, and I’d do it again.

As did I.

[PhiKapMom]

The way Franken is acting I think he knows he is going to lose the recount. He had to have those thrown out ballots that were no good in order to win IMHO!

[jveritas]

I know who he is but I was being sarcastic because Ron Paul is a lunatic.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Staying home was stupid arrogance on the part of the conservatives... for all the things you mentioned nothing is worse than what is being unleashed on this country because of people like you who were too good to vote for McCain.

[Shelayne]

Pleeeeease, Lord.

I am embarrassed for my state that there is even a RECOUNT. What the heck is wrong with these people? UGH.
