Bright Day for Chambliss/GOP

What a difference from the election night results just last month. Saxby Chambliss retained his seat for senate in what turned out to be a landslide. At last check it appears as though Chambliss will win by a margin or 7 or 8 points, a far cry from the massive upswing of Democratic voters a month ago.

All the reasons I expected Chambliss to win yesterday rang pretty true, as black turnout was not very high, Republicans in a red state seemed pretty worried, and Chambliss pretty much had already won.

So if Coleman holds on in Minnesota, the GOP will likely feel pretty relieved that things did not turn out much worse.
