The polls close in ten minutes. Hopefully Georgia has held the line today. Poll traffic was reported as steady here Northeast Atlanta today...
Actually, the night-time skip is from the sky (the ionosphere IIRC), not the ground.
Speaking of Sarah Palin and Saxby Chambliss, consider the following irony. Sarah is actually helping a federal senator to exercise powers which have been largely wrongly usurped from the states by the feds anyway. This is evidenced by the following statutes.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution (emphasis added) in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.In fact, I think that God kept Sarah in Alaska for the following reason.10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution (emphasis added), nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Consider that the states actually have the lion's share difference of government powers between total government powers minus the limited powers delegated to the Oval Office and Congress by the Founders as evidenced by the statutes above. So given Sarah's track record for successfully taking on the big boys, Sarah is in a better position as a governor, in my opinion, as opposed to being VP - or even president - to lead Alaska to set the example for the other states to do the following. Sarah can lead Alaska to take back state powers stolen by the feds over the last several decades while restoring constitutional limits on the powers of the renegade federal government.
If this trend keeps up, we can keep our carbines for a couple years instead of a couple months.
Chambliss (R) - 66.2% (263,296)
Martin (D) - 33.8% (134,415)
as the sun goes down am stations turn their satelites (or that’s what they did 15 years ago)so it doesn’t mess up fm frequency (i think that’s why). You probably can pick up 1110wbt out of charlotte when the sun goes down. I pick up the savage nation out of wor in Ny. it’s all crazy.
Grrrrr.
If only the Dogs had brought her in against Alabama
Fulton is coming in and its 50/50 at the moment.
Is the SOS link out only on my comp? Hopeful look.

As the old colonial saying went...
"When you see them with my gun, you will know that I am dead."
nothing from fulton or dekalb yet.
By the way, where do we stand on the MN recount?
Chambliss lost Peach County in Nov and is winning it with 8 of 9 precincts reporting! Good news!
Drudge right now:
