The polls close in ten minutes. Hopefully Georgia has held the line today. Poll traffic was reported as steady here Northeast Atlanta today...
Congrats to Senator Chambliss and boo to Martin. What a creep showing up with that nasty Ludacris who demeans women in his music!
Good that Saxby won. No doubt Mitt Romney will claim credit for this win.
Saxby better be calling p and thanking Sarah now. And if he learned anything from this, it’s tack conservative. Not that I believe he’ll have learned a damn thing. But since I don’t believe they’ll hold 41 Reps together to block the libs doesn’t matter I guess. I wanted the win for one reason only. Up Sarah’s cache in the party.
“Sounds like Palin grabbed Chambliss by the throat and said, you don’t act like a republican, it’ll be rino hunt time come next primary season.”
LOL!! You know, she has the guts to do just that!
Maybe we’ll see a new and improved “Sarah Palin-ized” Saxby from here on out!
Harry Reid, shove it up your backside, you aint getting no filibuster, bucko.He could always get the Rules Committee to eliminate the filibuster entirely. But there is a reason why that is called the nuclear option.
Chambliss (R) 895,189
Martin (D) 577,721
Okay, Senate Republicans....listen up: Serve as Conservatives, or embrace the dustbin of political history!
good to see you too SE Mom!
Sarah called it: This is the first step in the long process of rebuilding the Republican brand. Viva, Sarah!
I hope you’re right, but I’m still not saying Saxby’s got it yet...too much of those three counties are still not counted (according to the Sec. of State site). It seemed like it was in the bag for him at this point in the count in November too.
We need to build a fire under these people...a fire to spur them to action for some, a fire to smoke the others out!
Great! We have a political pulse!!!!!
Ohh... nice. Saving to read and possibly send. It’s a good piece of work, way better than I could ever do.
Another reason why we needed Saxby to win because I think this race showed Sarah that conservatism CAN come back. Reagan fiscal responsibility won tonight, GO GET EM SARAH!!
VERY odd miles...
And the county seat is "All-BENNY," lol!
And just 70 miles or so east-southeast of my home town.
OVER 3/4s REPORTING AND A HUGE LEAD HOLDS FOR CHAMBLISS
Chambliss (R) - 60.3% (932,227)
Martin (D) - 39.7% (614,814)
318,000 lead!
Fulton County is over 50% counted and they are separated by about 2,000 votes. They have the most precincts and it is running pretty close.
CNN would never call it, if they thought it was by any means close, they know the tallies in Fulton and Dekalb aint there.
Somehow that just seems dirty. Nevertheless, I agree.
Go Sarah - the current and future face of the Republican Party ...if we are smart!
