GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss wins a Georgia runoff, ending Democratic hopes of a filibuster-proof majority, CNN projects.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Congratulations to Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who looks to be on his way to a second six-year term in the U.S. Senate. Democrat Jim Martin has made a good race of it, pushing Chambliss to a runoff in a state in which Republicans remain strong favorites statewide, but he had a lot of the obstacles in his path.

The county where I was the Republican Stratagist (Columbia ) Has Chambliss at 76%. The Augusta area has Martin at 59%, Atlanta Counties all Hav Martin leading Chambliss by wide margins Martin is winning in all of the major cities. He is also taken a strong lead in South West Georgia. Martin's Stronest County is Clayton where is commands 82% of the vote. Having said all that, Most of Georgia is red. In Forsyth county Chambliss Commands 85% of the vote. Georgia can be viewed as a Red state less the I-20 counties from Augusta to Atlanta. Then the 7 counties in the south east

There are a few sellout republicans who will help the communists further destroy our republic for political gain.

Do you know Saxby? It takes a lot of rope to get from communist to the Senator from Georgia. As you are measuring you will pass a few RHINOs along the way
