Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss won re-election Tuesday in the Georgia runoff, giving the party a face-saving victory in an otherwise dismal election cycle and dashing Democrats' hope for a supermajority to ram their agenda through Congress. Continues...

Chambliss wins in landslide; Sarah Palin widely blamed
Liberals are so afraid of Sarah Palin that they rolled out one of their biggest guns to campaign for Jim Martin in Georgia -- Ludacris! (Their biggest ugly gun -- Rosie O'Donnell -- was too busy boarding up the windows on her new TV gig.)
But still the Obama puppet lost to Saxby Chambliss, 57% to 43%. (Al Franken swiftly issued a statement that he's contesting the Georgia results.)
Now that Bush is on his way out, libbies need someone new to hate. The scared little darlings feel so threatened by Sarah, they're mustering their most sophisticated, analytical arguments against her, such as, "Palin is stoopid!", "Palin is dum!", "Palin is a more on!", "Sara is a stoopid dum more on hik!". For convincing "proof", these brainiacs cite their own silly caricatures of her, as "reported" on the pages of their own New York Times. (In the holiday spirit, maybe Bush will pardon liberals for committing idiocy.)
Democrats keep telling themselves that Sarah's "15 minutes" are up, that her star is fading away, which must be why they can't stop whimpering and whining about her. The "fading star" has faded into getting almost as much coverage as Obama. Campaigning in Georgia, the washed-up has-been Sarah drew huge crowds in Savannah, Augusta, Perry, etc. Six-thousand at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth. The Washington Post reacted with impotent rage, using a porno reference in their headline: Palin does Georgia.
Speaking of purported newspapers, liberals at the Anchorage Daily News even attacked Sarah merely for campaigning for Chambliss because Chambliss six years ago defeated their sainted Max Cleland, who apparently is off-limits to criticism because he blew his own limbs off in an accident in Viet Nam.
In an editorial, Matt Zencey sniffed that Chambliss won the 2002 election by "running one of the most reprehensible campaigns of modern times," which itself is one of the most reprehensible lies of modern times. Naturally, liberals keep repeating it. Chambliss ran an ad criticizing Cleland for insisting on absurd union rules for workers at the Homeland Security Department, especially the useless workers. Liberals were so livid at the ad, they threatened to go to the U.N. to pass a resolution.
The ad had pictures of Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, but also the U.S. military. Given liberals' fondness for the ol' Kurds-gassing, mass-graves-filling former Butcher of Baghdad, it's anyone's guess which of the other two pictures libbies were complaining about -- bin Laden's or the U.S. military's?
Obama ran attack ads mocking McCain for his war injuries and libbies were probing the size of Bristol Palin's belly but Chambliss "ran the most reprehensible campaign of modern times" because he criticized Cleland for pimping for union thugs.
In response, buffoon Cleland went Mary Mapes on Bush. After getting his butt handed to him, Cleland spent gobs of time on TV attacking Bush for his National Guard service, apparently auditioning for a job at CBS. Cleland complained hysterically that Bush didn't go to Viet Nam to serve his country, as opposed to Bill Clinton, who fought on the battlefields of Arkansas. Service in Viet Nam consisted of "shooting cattle and dogs for fun," "razing villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan," according to the liberals' other phony war hero, John Kerry.
In an interview on MSNBC at the time, Cleland told both viewers that the lack of pay stubs proved Bush was AWOL during the 12-month period in question, May '72 to May '73. After the White House produced the pay stubs approximately 3 seconds later, Cleland demanded to know why Bush, who got an honorable discharge, left the National Guard early in '73 when the war was practically over.
The losercrats tried the same 'so-and-so is a chicken hawk!' in the Georgia Senate runoff and -- in a total shock -- it flopped again.
But notice something -- I'm not gloating! I've decided to go with a no-gloat approach, and I'm sticking to it. It's awfully tempting to gloat about the fact that polls predicted a very narrow win for Chambliss, who went on to win in a landslide. But am I going to mention how wrong the pundits were? No. That they've got egg on their faces? No. That they look stupid and out of touch? No. Nor am I going to mention how the media were all set to shout from every rooftop that 'Chambliss's narrow win (or hoped-for defeat) is a further repudiation of Bushitler', blah, blah, blah. Not a peep from me either that tonight is a preview of the 2010 midterm elections. Oh, and did you catch the glumness at CNN when the numbers started rolling in? Heh, heh, heh! Whoops, wasn't gloating -- honest!
Anyway, that's...
My Two Cents...

Sarah Palin has that effect on lots of people.
She has an effect on me, but I'll keep that to myself...
Sarah Palin - 1
Barack Obama - DNP
Barack voted Present again.
You know, I thought I saw his mockery of McCain.My husband said ,”surely not”.Thank you for mentioning this.I thought that I was wrong.
The left can “blame” it on Palin all they want, but the fact remains Obama made no personal appearances for his guy. He obviously only focuses on himself at all times, evidence of an extremely narcissistic man, or he was afraid if he DID go down to GA and campaigned and the guy lost anyway it would reflect badly on Barack. Obama is so in love with himself he fears ridicule more than anything else. That’s why he needs it more than anything else. Knock down his pride and ego.
LOL
Always love reading your play-by-play.
Love the “Sarah Palin widely blamed” reference. LOL
‘At least the Dems can’t ram through whatever they want at will.’
The airhead twins from Maine, Snowe and Collins, undermine this.
As does my airhead RINO Voinovich.
As does Arizona RINO McCain.
The Democrats have their fillibuster proof Senate since November 4th of this year.
Chambliss’s win doesn’t change it.
Yup, you betcha.
Not that the news would have reported it like that.
It was all for show.
The liberals sporting “R”’s brings the democrats their needed majority with no problem at all.
The only thing 60/40 would have accomplished was symbolizm
As usual, something like that is only needed to get the cooperation of Republicans.
All the democrats have to do is say to the republicans is "Let's go on a snipe hunt!" and many of them will get all excited and chase the wild goose with a burlap bag.
Bipartisanism is only for republicans, the only thing democrats like about it is if something goes wrong they can blame the 1% of republicans that signed on.
The MSN branch of the DNC will go along dutifully.
Now that is flat out Funny!
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.
Dang, you’re good, JH2!
Thank you so much for your excellent wrap-up!
Now I've decided to use “You Betcha” whenever I respond to something they are saying.
Got lemons, make Lemonade. Got Obama, make Kool Aid.
Me too.
It makes 'em crazy.
LOLOL!
That night was a good preview...eh?
So was William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson's defeat.
2010? Bring it on!
This is a very good 'un, JH2!
Thank yew ever so much!
