Poll: Name the winner in the great Georgia U.S. Senate runoff

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Chambliss 56%
Martin 44%

Thats my final prediction. Fulton is the largest county with the most precincts out and that may push Chambliss below this to 55% or 54%. But I feel confident in the above numbers. I really thought the Dems would turn out there vote better.

Anyone know why Obama didn't campaign here?

Cause you don't bet the farm on a losing horse.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Thank God! This race has been stressing me out since the beginning of November.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

While I am not enamored with Chambliss I am glad he won. I hope he retires in 2014 b/c some of his activities I don't like(Pork Barrel Spending). The good thing is we have plenty of rising stars in the House like Linder, Westmoreland and Price; plus several in the state Senate and House.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Actually, Chambliss is a great Senator, and deserved his crushing win over Martin.

Congratulations Saxby.

He probably is. I just like to make sure that when they are replaced they are replaced with a more firm oponent of pork barrel spending and corruption. There are senators in much more pressing need of retirement or defeat. One of them got it this year. Chambliss probably is a great Senator and I agree with him 95% of the time and he definately deserved his victory over Martin.

And please, tell us why Chambliss is a "disgusting" human being?

No, Max Cleland was just a disgusting senator

When will people get off Max Cleland. He was too liberal in a state that was definately shifting Republican. Just look at the Govenors race that year or the State legislature.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I didn't think it all that dirty considering how low regard I hold Max Cleland. He probably didn't need to but I am glad that it turned out the way it did.

Martin was also too liberal.  I got far more offended of an ad run of Martin awkwardly holding a "Women for Obama" sign as they talked about him supporting sex predators.   But Martin has all of his limbs so it's ok.
 
Just got back from the Gym.  Alas.

I agree. The Dems should have found a much better candidate. But they spent more time convincing Jim Marshall not to run then they did recruiting a Conservative Democrat to run.

With 92% Reporting
Chambliss 58.3
Martin 41.7%

This was a nice victory. It would have been such a pity to see another moderate Republican go down.

Yea like Musgrave, Sali, and almost Bachmen

and I remember it was a sad day when the great centrist Senator from PA Rick Santorum was defeated in 2006.

Let's get real - Musgrave was slightly right of center. Sali and Bachmann are right down the middle, though.

We also lost Goode and in 2006  JD Hayworth. The loss of those fine centrists was really a blow as well

You know, I was half-tempted to make the 15-point Chambliss call this afternoon because it felt like that type of race.  Decided to stay conservative with the calls - such is life.

Have you ever not made a prediction error because of being too conservative in your call?

Oh, dear God, no.  I've made of errors with *out there* predictions.  In fact, I'm made plenty of errors period, regardless of what CfromNJ might say.

Everybody makes mistakes. At least you go into the minutest details to make your predictions as close as possible. Some don't even try to be close.
