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

****Isn’t that what 2008 has taught us? Isn’t milquetoastianism is the way ahead for republicans? Isn’t Christie Todd Whitman the real face of the Republican Party? Or how about Colin Powell? Richard Armitage? Brent Scowcroft? William Weld? Jim Jeffords? Olympia Snowe?****

You forgot to mention George "boo hoo" Vionivich. LOL!

Fulton county should be two counties, north fulton and south fulton. With I-20 being the dividing line.

It’s like North Korea and South Korea backwards.

Turner Field is about the only thing in south fulton, by a few yards...the rest is wasteland.

Chambliss is up by 230,000 votes with almost 50% reporting. In DeKalb he’s losing by a little more than 2-1. On November 4 he lost DeKalb by almost 4-1. There aren’t enough votes left in Marxism Central for Chambliss to lose. JMHO of course.

AM signals don’t interfere with FM signals. They use different types of carrier waves.

Fulton city is otherwise known as Atlanta. :) Hahaha Fulton is currently (8:40) red!! CNN Election Map

[Principled]

Atlanta proper... downtown included.

however, this odd shaped county also includes some of the more affluent folks on north end of county.

Dekalb and Clayton will be killers though.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

city of atlanta, but it includes a heavily republican northern end..

[CedarDave]

Chambliss ahead by 246,718 with 52% of the votes in, 61.9% to 38.1%

[Marathoner]

Out of the areas remaining, what should we be most concerned about? Is there any way we could still lose this thing?(I’m still recovering from Nov 4)

[Nemes1s]

I don’t see any. Saxby is ahead in every county compared to the NOV 4 results.

[thesearethetimes...]

Good map, thanks :)

[Principled]

Dekalb, clayton, muscogee, chatham...

but i think w/ fulton going 50/50 it’s in the W column.

but there are a LOT of votes in dekabl and clayton my FRiend.

[Jeff Head]

55% in.

Chambliss (R) - 61.8% (669,755)
Martin (D) - 38.2% (414,532)

255,000 lead

[Marathoner]

Thanks. It would be good to breathe easy for a change.

The sec of state of Georgia web site is showing 100% votes counted and chambliss winning 49.8% to 46.8% for loser Martin.

[johncocktoasten]

really you probably want to draw that line at about 14th street as most of Midtown will be voting dem for a different reason. After all, they did get a mention in Obama’s acceptance speech.

[redk]

“Isn’t Christie Todd Whitman the real face of the Republican Party?”

The funny and equally sad part about that is Kay Liberal Hutchison already tried selling us that junk.

[CedarDave]

Chambliss ahead by 259,752 with 55% in.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I don’t think for a second it was THAT close

[Jeff Head]

That was the Nov election. This is the runoff. Chambliss did not get a majority so it required a runoff which is happening tonight. Winner needs a majority and so far Chambliss has a large one.
