Senator Saxby Chambliss Wins Runoff in Georgia

The media is now reporting that Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss has won the runoff election in Georgia against Democrat Jim Martin, putting a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for Democrats out of reach.

With more than 70% of precincts reporting, the vote is 60%-40% in the incumbent Chambliss' favor.

The runoff became necessary when the three-way race on Nov. 4 between Republican Chambliss, Democrat Martin and Libertarian candidate Allen Buckley resulted in none of them getting at least 50% of the vote.

One other race remains undecided: in Minnesota, comedian Al Franken and incumbent Republican Norm Coleman are undergoing a recount to decide their race.

Alaska Governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin came to Georgia to campaign for Chambliss, and many believe she made a difference for Chambliss. While the "mainstream" media continues to malign and disparage Palin, conservatives continue be excited about Palin and are already at work laying the ground for a 2012 run for president for Palin.

Palin continues to captivate conservatives in the Republican Party, and by helping Chambliss win and prevent a filibuster-proof senate majority, she has helped weaken the hopes for unimpaired passage of president-elect Barack Obama's radical liberal agenda.

It will be interesting to see what the next four years hold in wait for us.
