Fulton has 344 precincts, that is nuts. Talk about being crammed in there like cattle. I’m guessing that must be Atlanta. What a shame that large cities vote like cattle too. Hopefully the Obama supporters forgot it was an election day since they are too busy getting ready to be disappointed by the President-elect.

Atlanta Urinal and Constipation reports Chambliss 65 percent Martin 35 percent with 21 percent of the vote counted as of 8:15 pm local time. Hopefully, this trend will continue, and deliver a loud and clear message to obama, and the rest of the country as well.

CNN has just announced because of Palin, Chambliss only won by 20 percent. If Palin had not gone to Georgia, Chambliss would have won by at least 40 percent. Once again, Palin has been shown to be a drag on a ticket.

Great news. It was so important to keep dimocrats from 60 senate seats.

I won’t be surprised if CNN or MSNBC trot out some kind of “survey” that shows that even more people would have voted for Chambliss if Gov. Palin hadn’t come to campaign for him. If not CNN or MSNBC, some leftwing looney blogger will come up with it. Wait for, it’s coming.
