Obviously a repudiation of Barack Obama.

I want to thank my posse for making the difference in this election .

For some laughs - take a look at the DU.

320,ooo vote lead with 15% of the precincts to go? Ouch!

Thank God for small favors — and in light of the several RINO’s in the Senate, it’s a very small favor. On any number of issues, you have the Snowe’s, Spectre’s and even the McCain’s and Graham’s who will come to the aid of the “Chosen One” to help him avoid filibusters.

Still, it’s nice to see one of the “good guys” win for a change — and a good part of the reason is our next Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin. :-)

What a bitter fight and thank God it's over.

Almost 3 to 2! Sweet!

[FreeAtlanta]

Cool. And it looks like a significant size win.

“Why are we not seeing pictures of Palin in the newspapers anymore? I miss seeing her.”

Same here, although in my case I have to admit I’m just a sucker for a pretty face. :)

I mosied over. What a bunch of cretins. You think they'd still be in celebratory mode over the election of their Messiah.

Now for the obligatory shower to wash off the crud.

PALIN 1, OBAMA 0

[Coachm]

Now THAT is a landslide!

he only won by 100,000 votes on Nov 4?

hmmm... me thinks the voters were sending a message this time.

OH MAN!! I took a peek for awhile I thought I would have to scrub my eyeballs after reading those postes.

[AngryJawa]

Thank you Georgians!

You're welcome, America!

Too bad Saxby is still just a McCainian RINO. It beats giving Dingy Harry a supermajority though.

Saxby had better realize that this victory wasn't an acknowledgement of the crappy job he's done; this was all about lessening the horror of November 4. Oh yeah, having Sarah rally the troops didn't hurt either.

How's this. It was snapped at the Macon Ralley yesterday.

[tarheelswamprat]

Yes we did.... and it probably saved Georgia from the fate of North Carolina.

You got dat rat... (from one rat to another...) /grin

Who’s the dude in the WV sweatshirt? Anyone important?

That was hilarious, thanks for posting the link. You’ll notice that many of their posters attribute Chambliss’ victory to Gov. Palin. It would be nice if the RNC would do the same. It would be wrong to give her all the credit, but she did turn out really big crowds for a runoff election campaign, and I hear that some of the robocalls in GA also featured her endorsement of Chambliss.
