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

[Kellykoop]

Results of November’s Senate race:

Clayton: Chambliss-15,893 Martin-76,122

Dekalb: Chambliss-65,531 Martin-233,727

Fulton: Chambliss-131,438 Martin-249,201

[Enterprise]

That is a great letter and I pray that enough Senators from both sides will agree with those things too. But if ACORN is funded at the level the Democrats wanted them funded at recently (800 million dollars) then there is no limit to the amount of elections they can throw to the Democrats. In 2010, if this group is allowed to run amok, your items 1 through 9 will be easily defeated.

[Marathoner]

Has any network called it yet?(I know they typically don’t do it for our side like they do for the Rats)

[Redbob]

Thank you Robert, but as a former resident of Forsyth County, I’m pretty much up on the voting trends inside the Forcefield, as we used to call it.

It’s worth noting that at this point, only about 150,000 votes remain uncounted in Dekalb, and if current trends continue, Martin will get just over 100,000 of those.
Meanwhile he trails Chambliss by about 300,000 votes...

Martin netted about 300,000 votes in the three big dem counties on the 4th. He’ll be lucky to net 150,000 from those same counties. Not nearly enough votes for him to catch Chambliss. Chambliss wins.

Who wants to turn out for some old white dude?

[Jeff Head]

70% reporting.

Chambliss (R) - 60.7% (869,321)
Martin (D) - 39.3% (561,829)

308,000 lead!

[editor-surveyor]

". I am a little nervous because the race has not been called and the rat counties are withholding counts."

They only call them early if its a Dem that's leading.

[Jeff Head]

Heheh...that’s not near enough...LOL!

[thesearethetimes...]

Lol. The CNN map is very innterestin’. They update and update, but never seem to get around to counties they would rather not mention ; P

[PermaRag]

Dougherty County is the city of Albany, in the southwest part of the state. Think of it as a semi-rural ghetto.

[SmokingJoe]

“It’s still not in the bag”

It's over for Martin.

“Fulton, Dekalb and Clayton aren’t even close to being done...and they’re all heavily Dem”

Plenty of Republican counties are not done either.
With 68% of the votes counted, and a gap of 300,000, Martin is going nowhere.

[thesearethetimes...]

YES!

[LimberJim]

Isn’t Dougherty County Albany?

[CedarDave]

70% reporting, Chambliss lead is 307,492

[rlbedfor]

I bet. Marin only gets any where close in Dekalb and Fulton. He is not black you know.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I can't believe after two years of this election cycle I'm still biting my nails . . .

Godspeed, Senator Chambliss!

[sunmars]

CNN finally calls it for Chambliss, NO 60 seats for the rats.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Albany GA is the county seat.

Very small town in the middle of rural GA, about 40 miles east of the expressway, 80-odd miles south of Atlanta.

[RobFromGa]

AP called for Chambliss!

[RetiredArmy]

Just sent it to both Senators Sessions and Shelby. Will pass it along to my email list of retired Army pals.
