Rob:
Thanks for starting this thread, and Thank GOD! that Chambliss looks to be winning!
It’s a pity though that it appears to be a landslide - Dear Ol’ Saxby desperately needs a chastening!
Saxby at 62% with 55% of precincts reporting (1,093,000 votes).
Atlanta (the city = very, very strongly black/liberal/democrat/extremists) is split between counties: Dekalb and (south) Fulton county. The city of Atlanta is the typical urban, corrupt, democrat-led mess we are all familiar with, and is no better than any urban-democratc-led city. Both Fulton County and Dekalb county trend the same way.
The north half of Fulton county is a more typical, more recently developed suburban and many hundreds of very nice neighborhoods. North Fulton will probably go 75-80 for Chambliss, but won't cover the greater urban population of south Fulton. Dekalb is lost, probably forever.
The six counties around Atlanta will almost certainly go republican. The total (Atlanta + the suburban counties) drives most of GA’s population, because the other cities in GA are important, but simply don't have enough people to drive politics very far on a statewide basis.
But in the GA legislature, the other cities and the rural counties carry much more influence.
This race?
