[RobFromGa]

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

[CedarDave]

Chambliss ahead by 264,090 with 61% in.

[Marathoner]

I’m a little nervous about Fulton, as they’ve been stuck on 53 precincts out of 300 something reporting for a while. I have nightmares about Acorn vote manufacturing going on.

[Enterprise]

Jeff, I hope Chambliss et al understand fully the death struggle they are in now. They must resist and obstruct all efforts to give ANY MORE taxpayer funds to ACORN and like groups. They MUST coordinate elections with Republican Governors to restrict as much as possible things like early voting, same day registering and voting, and they must demand voter ID or no ballot. The cheating will only intensify in 2010 and if they don’t prepare now they might as well throw in the towel and dream dreams of a mythical democracy called America.

[Principled]

dekab has population around 750k. 75% of that is voting age.

[KoRn]

"The thing is do we think he can keep it? Who hasn’t reported in?"

I don't know enough about GA elections to comment.

Jeb Bush in Martinez’s seat would be great give him time to rebuild the Bush name, he really should been the one in 2000 than the Georgie boy.

[RetiredArmy]

Well, I can clearly see that Sarah Palin showing up has really harmed Senator Chambliss’ chances in this race. If she had not shown up, why he would be ahead by 265,000 by now!

[NonValueAdded]

For the record, Early County hasn’t reported yet. :)

[Jeff Head]

63% reporting.

Chambliss (R) - 60.6% (778,004)
Martin (D) - 39.4% (505,484)

273,000 lead

[thesearethetimes...]

Nor Glynn or Camden!

[businessprofessor]

The trend looks strong for Chambliss so I am surprised that the election has not been called yet. Perhaps there are so many rat precincts that Martin could still win. I am a little nervous because the race has not been called and the rat counties are withholding counts.

[Toki]

woops sorry
Then again I live here I’m not sure.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I have nightmares about Acorn vote manufacturing going on.

You can count on it. We have to put a stop to this one way or the other.

[Heart of Georgia]

If we build again, we’re thinking about Butts County. There are no property taxes, which are outrageous here — so you probably made the right decision in that respect.

[thesearethetimes...]

At least, according to CNN ; }

[Kellykoop]

It’s still not in the bag. Far from it, IMO. Fulton, Dekalb and Clayton aren’t even close to being done...and they’re all heavily Dem.

[rlbedfor]

A Dem can not win in GA without a huge AA vote and they only come out like that for the racially motivated vote which is not the case with two white dudes running. Chambliss will win easy.

[Jeff Head]

Agreed. We need to all write our Senators and puit them ALL on notice.

HERE'S MY LETTER

[merry10]

I have to wonder ... why would anyone vote for the guy who has LUDICROUS ..stumping for him.

[sunmars]

If he’s up by 265,000 before those 2 counties have even started its great because if they could only muster a lead from those of 270,000, no way they getting that this time from those 2.
