Chambliss is Still the Man for the Job

To the Democratic Party, a good number of Georgia voters had one thing to say, “Whoa there not so fast!” On Dec. 2 Georgia voters helped keep Sen. Saxby Chambliss hold his seat in U.S. senate, thwarting Democrats' hopes of winning a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority.

The run-off election comes after neither Chambliss nor his Democratic opponent Jim Martin was able to take the seat in the General Election. While Barack Obama went on to win the presidency, Martin wasn’t able to get Obama voters in large enough numbers to overcome the Republican advantage. As Fox News put it Conservatives, who had been upset with Chambliss, were “fearful of unchecked Democratic dominance”.

But with every politician who gets a second term, we can only pray that Chambliss is still the man for the job.
