I hope the GOP leaning state that went McCain will be sensible enough not to give Obama a super majority in the Senate. Unfortunately, in this crazy election cycle, ya never know.
I heard recently that there is a PAC to which we can donate to help Chambliss. I wish that I could remember what the name of the organisation is.
Most of the battleground states were lost because of the early voting. The democrats amassed the necessary votes in the early voting to win. That is how they won Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia. Without the early voting I am confident that they would have lost.
The Republicans who control state legislatures should make it illegal to have early voting in their states. Also our side should go the courts and make this fraud process totally illegal on the national level.
Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss in a Georgia runoff election considered pivotal for the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Mr. Martin is behind in polls, has half the cash of his opponent and early-voting turnout among black voters is stagnating -- a crucial block for any Democrat in this mostly conservative state where Republicans also hold the other U.S. Senate seat, the governor's office and majorities in both houses of the state General Assembly.Goodnight all.
the loons are capable of pulling ANYTHING at this point.
Just ONE seat from tyranny!!!
Curiously enough, and you may draw your own conclusions, nothing was made of black racism. Not only did Obama score something like 96-98% of the black vote, but the black turnout was massive. And, of course, the huge black turnout for Obama had a profound influence down the ballot, as a great deal of straight-ticket voting was involved.
It will be interesting to see what happens with a honkey at the top of the Dem ticket in the Georgia Senate runoff. I'm betting there will be a substantial falloff in black turnout, leading to a comfortable win for Chambliss.
If Martin is campaigning feverishly, you wouldn’t know it from the phone calls I’ve been receiving...they’ve almost all been from Saxby Chambliss.
That’s great journalism. The writer says the runoff favors Chambliss yet the writer does not quote or cite a poll. The last poll I saw a week or so ago said Chambliss was up by 4. I would imagine Martin will have a hard time getting the first time Obama voters who only registered to vote for Obama.
...would the GOP even use a filibuster if it could?
In the past there is always some “gang of (fill in number here)” that put the screws to it, lead by Republicans (usually McCain).
I would think a runoff would favor Chambliss as there would no Obamamania to drive the Dem vote.
dude here is the deal
there is NO WAY that the liberal Obama people will come out and vote AGAIN....... Saxby will win in a landslide
Don’t believe it. Fight!
Newt or Mike Huckabee would do Chambliss more good than Giuliani in Georgia.
