Please do...and feel free to pass it around. The more of us who do this and get many others to do the same...and in turn ask them to pass it around too...the better.

We need to take these pols to the wood shed.

it shows you the state of the Dem party by having fools like ludacris or what ever his name is.

I mean a singer, rapper what ever trying to get a senator elected.

The Dem party is now officially the party of the elite and dumb arse idiots who are brain dead.

I swear that not one obama voter I have met can still tell me why they voted for him except that he is a good speaker or he’ll bring change.
It’s like they are robots who have no knowledge at all and what is scary is that many of them are college students who think this voting for president is like American idol

I despair for the future I really do

"Not that I believe he’ll have learned a damn thing."

Right you are!

But what Senator feels he can learn anything from anyone?
They're like doctors...

Saxby is slightly better than McCain, but that doesn’t say a whole lot. Bottom line, we cannot afford Jim Martin. Plus, I want to see a big win for Saxby just to shove it down Obama and Schumer’s throats.

All I care about is: 1) No filibusters and 2) A notch in Sarah's gun.

Good point. When I saw that both Dekalb and Fulton were maybe halfway counted, I was still worried. But the Saxby’s lead’s pretty solid. Time to relax now.

Saxby has learned one thing. If he has a horse in the 2012 Presidential race he better pick the ‘Cuda.

I remember that technique well from Florida in 2000. Bush was ahead in the internet returns by about 300,000 votes with 90 percent counted. It turned out that the 10 percent outstanding were in the non-Cuban areas of Miami-Dade County and the retiree condos in Broward County, all of which went about 98 percent for Gore. Bush ended up winning by 537 votes.

It seemed like it was in the bag for him at this point in the count in November too.”

No.

“I said they should appeal to Saxby’s vanity, and encourage him to become the GOP’s newest, conservative elder statesman”

Whatever it takes - If he doesn’t wise up, as close as this was, I doubt he’ll get another chance.

First it is excellent that Chambliss won. I think that this is a good omen for 2010.

Second, if Palin has a chance of winning in 2012 if she decides to run may be we need to stop calling her with her first name only. It is really stupid to call politicians with their first names. Remember Rudy, Hillary, Fred and see where they ended.

We’ll need Coleman. We have some RINOs that effectively give the rats 60% ANYWAY!

That was the result of Democrats trying to steal the election. They needed time to destroy Bush votes and manufacture Gore votes.

This is not Florida 2000.
It’s over for Martin. He’d better get his concession speech ready.

I always feel nervous when large Dem areas haven’t reported in. You just know they have something cooking when they don’t
