Polls have closed in the run-off election between Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Democratic challenger Jim Martin, and results are beginning to come in.

With two percent of precincts reporting, the Georgia secretary of state's Web site shows Chambliss leading by a wide margin. As of this post, Chambliss had 69.1 percent of the vote compared to Martin's 30.1 percent.

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.

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.

I totally agree with you. Hope, after this election chambliss would understand that he would have never been in this position if he had been a true conservative. Also republican organization should understand that, we need to improve our turnout models and increase the number of republican registrations among new voters

Don’t worry buddy. When the main stream media is not giving the news, you know that, it is going to be a huge win. I think, it will be a margin of 10 to 12%

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.

[AmericanMade1776]

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.
