Thank goodness! The thought of either party having a fillibuster proof majority and control of the White House is just scary. There needs to be some sort of mechanism to stop extreme legislation from going through.

57% of the voters in Georgia yesterday were a bunch of braindead fools voting that draft dodging coward Chambliss back into office. A pity that these people haven't figured out how they've been screwed by this clown.

Still doesn't look good for Franken which is a pity. I hope that the challenged ballots get counted and Franken can have the last laugh.

I'll be glad when the senate races are over, regardless of who wins. A 'filibuster-proof majority' is fools gold. The fact is, congress is democratic-with-a-bullet. It has the momentum and public support to act on the president-elect's agenda.

The perception of total unilateralism will damage the democrats as much in 2010 as the perception of feckless obstructionism will damage the republicans. The republicans can tolerate less damage at this point.

Good to see the usual hate-filled comments from Eric in CA. Anyone not voting a straight Democratic ticket must be stupid. I see that the Obama message of hope and coming together is working wonders.

My response to Eric, Salinas CA

Only Liberals calling the Georgia people fools are unfounded. 57-58% of voters have spoken for the GOP. Chambliss must have done well enough to retain a landside victory.

Liberals in California are idiots by far because they have no idea how their own government in their state capitol are unable to control their wasteful spending. If I am correct, usually I am, the state of California is on the verge of bankrupcy. I see that the state is asking for a handout to the Federal government.

So before attacking a people of another state, you need to see for yourself what your own state is doing to screw you guys. Unless, you like that sort of thing.

Let's give a big hand to the majority of inbred racist hick voters in Georgia who gave Chambliss the victory last night! Those are the same dopes who proudly tell people to this day, 'I voted for Bush twice!' What a disgrace. The entire state should be leveled, or at least sold to another country. If I took a dump all over the state of Georgia, it would actually enhance the look of the place.

As we have the same type constiuents here in S.C. I allways knew Chambliss would win, Eric is right when he calls them braindead, The people who came out for him yesterday are uneducated and tote thier bibles and guns around and call themselves Americans first,
but will vote for a draft dodger because he is a republican. Its just like S.C. so sad so sad.

We were absolutely flooded with negative ads accusing Martin of being for drunk driving, child prostitution, raising taxes, hiking his own wages, etc.
The rich and powerful outspent Martin by more than 2 to 1.
And, the dumb people down here bought it.

When has Georgia not been a complete disappointment to the rest of the country? They are the dumbest state in the union - big shocker. Some day - probably generations from now - they may meet the national IQ level if we can move in some smart people... or start a redneck civil war. Then the average IQ will go up.

Exactly. Ole Saxby is a brevit general in the chickenhawk brigade. Never had what it takes to serve our country, but criticizes triple amputee Max Cleland six years ago. I believe Jim Martin also served in Vietnam.

Chabliss's run-off campaign was built around making sure the Democrats don't have a filibuster-proof majority. Funny, but I don't recall the Republicans having an issue with power and a lack of checks and balances when they were running the show. Then again, these hypocrites have no shame whatsoever.

I'm not comfortable with either party having such power, but it's a shame that the people of Georgia again elected such a pathetic chickenhawk to represent their state. This guy is the worst of the worst.

Isn't it about time to put this myth of a filibuster-proof majority to rest? Currently, there are at least 5 Republican senators who can be peeled away on any given given vote, and this myth presupposes two things: 1. that all Democrats will vote in lockstep; 2. that there is some covert, extreme agenda on the Dems part just waiting for a supermajority to be foisted on the innocent American people. Let's be adults, shall we?

Perhaps if you did your homework and saw that, once again, more GOP senators will be up for re-election in 2010 than Dem senators, you would see that yesterday's results only delay the inevitable. Look for 60 in 2010!
