I respectfully disagree. I think the difference is that there was not the huge voter turnout that was present in the Presidential election. No ACORN, no historic black vote, no Democrat win. Any Republican would have won in Georgia.
Applies to both parties. Balanced each other out
“No ACORN, no historic black vote, no Democrat win”
ACORN didn't magically dissapear. The fraudulent ACORN registrations were as much alive last week, as they were on Nov 4th
“Any Republican would have won in Georgia.”
Not necessarily. Any Republican could have lost too. Heck, McClain barely won in his own home state of Arizona in the presidential elections.

Saxby's problems all go back to his support of McCain/Kennedy immigartion bill. He didn't just support it, worked hard as an advocate to get the bill passed.
Had the Democrats run a better candidate, they easily could have won this election without the runoff. Georgians still believe "our democrats" are different from the national democrats. Remember, it isn't that long ago that Zell Miller was a democratic senator from GA. Had the Dems run someone more moderate than Martin Chambliss would have lost.
