The polls close in ten minutes. Hopefully Georgia has held the line today. Poll traffic was reported as steady here Northeast Atlanta today...

[tpanther]

Fulton coming in....50-50. Good sign.

43% reporting, not much change in % for Saxby!

[NonValueAdded]

Don’t worry, Martin will find 250,000 ballots when they do the recount :)

[Jeff Head]

46% in.

Chambliss (R) - 62.3% (567,382)
Martin (D) - 37.7% (343,092)

[Repeal The 17th]

“Shouldn’t we really be giving all the credit to John McCain who also campaigned for Saxby.”

Fulton starting to come in now on the SOS site. Fulton is of course Atlanta, but, bad as it is, it’s not as anti-Republican as DeKalb or Clayton. The George Jefferson type racists “moved on up” out of the Atlanta ghetto long ago - and turned DeKalb INTO a ghetto.

[TheEaglehasLanded]

Chambliss needs to build a 300,000 vote lead before the Atlanta area comes in.

[Jeff Head]

46% in now and it’s a 220,000 vote lead.

[techno]

Get real. McCain is literally yesterday news. He is the past; Sarah is the now and the future.

[Kellykoop]

I’m surprised at how close to even Fulton is. Very good!

Dekalb, as predicted, is strongly Martin.

[Principled]

Holy Cow - just saw a bunch of Fulton posted and it’s 50/50.

Good news in a large way.

[sunmars]

Hey if its a 220,000 lead so far with lower turnout, this is looking very good.

[traderrob6]

Where is Fulton cty.?

[CedarDave]

Internet only here, no TV. Any networks calling it yet??

[dbz77]

I’m sure that this picture didn’t help Martin very much: http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/articles/2008/12/02/georgia_senate_race_tests_obama/

How many people who turned out for Obama would turn out for some old white dude?

[TheEaglehasLanded]

Estimated turnout around 2,000,000. Saxby needs to get to 1 million, he has 567,000 now. 433,000 out of remaining 1.1 million votes. That’s about 40%

[Sarah Barracuda]

52% of precincts reporting

Chambliss

[Jeff Head]

52% in.

Martin (D) - 38.1% (393,081)

Atlanta

[chpmass]

City of Atlanta and some affluent suburbs north of the city and a few other small towns southwest of Atlanta.

[Monterrosa-24]

Still a 92 ACU rating Chambliss vs. an Obama love-fest zip wad like Martin makes this better than a kiss from your sister. Its more like a French kiss from Maria Sharapova.
