ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss has won re-election in a runoff, dashing Democratic hopes of capturing enough Senate seats to thwart Republican filibusters. Chambliss, who fell just short of the majority vote needed to win re-election in November, prevailed in a one-on-one rematch with Democrat Jim Martin.

No mention of vote counts; I suppose it’s beyond the possibility of a recount?

Guess that Sarah Palin factor worked out okay, huh senator. You’d better send her a LONG thank you letter.

CNN projects that, Chambliss will get over 50%. If it was a democratic candidate, headlines would be, Democrat Martin is projected to win by a huge margin

There are enough RINOs in the Senate so the RATS will have their filibuster-proof wish.

9:10 p.m. update: Chambliss wins
The Associated Press has announced that Saxby Chambliss of Moultrie has won re-election to the U.S. Senate. The notice was sent to AP-affiliated newspapers at 8:56 p.m., but without any vote totals.
The most recent vote totals, which were sent one minute before the announcement of victory, said with 1,807 of the state’s 3,303 precincts reporting, Chambliss had 702,350 votes (60 percent) to Democrat Jim Martin’s 468,143 (40 percent).

So where does that leave the balance of power in the U.S. Senate?
56-42-1?
What are the actual numbers? (I know, we're still waiting on results from the Minnesota race.)
To: AmericanMade1776
Sarah Palin campaigned for Chamblis in Georgia. I have to think that helped. She is the biggest star in the GOP at the moment. This win will help keep the democrats from the 60 vote filibuster proof Senate they crave. Hopefully, Frankin will not win against Coleman in Minnesota, but that race is very close.
