Do you KNOW how important this is!? (euphoria at the Z household...and we really know nothing about Saxby Chambliss, frankly!)
Oh, and by the way? It doesn't matter what he's like. NO FILIBUSTER-PROOF MAJORITY! Hallelujiah!

HALLELUJAH, indeed!
Now the question of the hour is "Will Al Franken manage to steal the election in Minnesota?"
Ever wonder how a moronic creep like that every made a name for himself?
That says a lot about this COUNTRY I wish it didn't.
I'm very grateful however, that the D'Rats did not get their "super-majority," but they DID get much too close.
Ever wonder how and why Ted Stevens got knocked out JUST when he did after 36 years in the senate? the man is 84. If he were a D'Rat, he'd be crowned with a laurel wreath, given a ticker tape parade and celebrated as a folk hero.
But Saxby Chambliss is The Man right now. I know him to be a RINO, but I think we can all agree that even a RINO is better than a D'RAT --- especially in times like these.
Pray that Norm Coleman's (very narrow) victory is not taken from him by D'Rat chicanery.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

They still have quite a majority but at least not a veto-proof majority. That is IF we can trust the Republicans left to actually be conservatives. A tenuous and testy bet at best.
Saxby is a good guy. And, yeah, I'm just glad he won.
Godspeed, Saxby Chamblss!
I happily wore my peachy "proud voter" sticker all day yesterday in my staunchly conservative neighborhood! Overall, Chambliss has been good for GA. He has had a good voting record (other than his lapse on the bail-out fiasco). Indeed, it's a Woo-Hoo day in the peach state!

I wouldn't bet against it!
I heard about this earlier Z. Good news indeed. Bout time we had some of that.
Right on.

Well, we assumed that Georgia would remain in the Dark Ages a while longer.
No big deal
George "in the dark ages", Ducky?...Hardly.
At least some in America are enlightened enough to understand that a balance of power is needed, particularly when someone like THE ONE is running things.
By the way? it's a HUGE DEAL. And you know it.
By the way, the deal is so huge as to have provoked some Dems to ask why THE ONE didn't go down to campaign at least once (Clinton did when he was needed just before taking office) for their guy....
THE ONE shot himself in the foot. May it be the last time (for our sake...how dangerous to have someone more interested in himself than in his party's success, even if most of us feel success for his party will be ruination for America)
But, Sarah did go down and campaign...she recognizes duty, her extreme popularity, and HE WON.
done.
Don't mean a thing, z. The Democratic party is hardly monolithic. Knuckle draggers like Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieux and the junior senator from Tel Aviv were never going to be dependable votes.
Of course there's always the "nuclear option". Remember when Bill Frist came up with that one?
I hope the R's didn't create the Frankenstein monster because we ain't in the mood for any lip.
Woo Hoo! Watching ducky try to shrug it off is fun too!
Jm....must be that he doesn't quite understand the system.
Well...he did vote for THE ONE, so.......
We were very happy for the win too.
Now we need to prevent Al Frankenstupid from stealing the election in Minnesota.
Hi Z
I am glad the Republicans got off their lazy butts and voted
You might be disappointing cube. The Minnesota election is down to an 8 vote spread.
Should be in the courts for years.
...and they'll keep counting in MN until Franken wins...
Georgia comes out appearing like a more foreward-looking state now.
FJ is right. About the "recount over and over again". Look at Florida in 2000. Bush won every count there. The Dems were trying to get as many recounts as they could in order to finally get one to go Gore's way. Looking at how the Dems tried to get votefree ballots counted as Gore ballots, it is clear that the most accurate count was the first one.
Well, what to say? Saxby Chambliss is pretty much like our governor, he's a tool of the big agra-businesses and he does what they tell him to do. He's lazy, and not very smart. But, he toes the party line and he won't do anything that might irk the conservative rural people here so he's no threat. And his reelection did keep the Dems from a joyful moment, so overall I guess it's not a bad thing.
Back to Reganism Chambliss says!

The Right Opinion, for the Right Wing
Ducky, you're just plain wrong in believing all the silliness you read at your lib blogs...it's Coleman this time.
Why is it you lefties just can't get over that the people are more important than courts?
Hermit...Chambliss could be a rhinoceros in pink tights and I wouldn't care. That the Georgians realized, as I said somewhere earlier, that a Pelosi-dominated congress could have reigned was a VERY good thing. And don't forget Reid, who hates to "SMELL" Tourists , we all stink so badly to him in the summers in Washington. What a party, huh? He says this to a crowd in a speech!!??
The first vote appears to always be the right one, dmarks (i keep thinking of Deutsch Marks when I see your screen name because I lived in Germany)
Let's just be grateful that America's not TOTALLY off-kilter with a very leftist new president and horribly rude, socialist and even more 'entitled-feeling' Dem congressional leaders.
Good start to a lot of nice Christmas presents!
Huffington has Franken by 22 votes right now.
Ducky, do you honestly respect and admire Franken? Do you want the world seeing a senator who posed in a diaper? It's SO very important to the Left how the WORLD PERCEIVES US...he won't win, but if he does it'll show the world two things:
He went to congress crying and did some tweaking there so the election probably won't be legal..who knows what he did there?
We Americans can respect a creep who poses in diapers in the fetal position.
And you wonder "WHY THEY HATE US?" wow.
Yeah z, I think Franken is an upgrade over Coleman.
The fact that he has a sense of humor is one of the reasons he's an upgrade.
So you think that's funny and not mockery of the American political system?
No wonder we have troubles with dignity and respect and civility in America.
"The fact that he has a sense of humor is one of the reasons he's an upgrade."
Ducky, here's an example of Franken's humor that I saw years ago on SNL when for some unknown reason he was part of their troupe;
Al Franken sat at a table, while Jane Curtin looked on in disgust, and pulled the legs off a live beetle, one at a time.
Yeah, some sense of humor huh? He thought it was funny.
This guy has a screw loose and always has. He's in the party he belongs in, that's for sure. You can have him.
Pris
What effort to steal the election?
It's a completely legal mandated recount. I don't understand the accusation of theft.
Yeah back in the glory days with the Not Ready for Prime Time Players, he was funny.
I met Jane Curtin a couple times, she's a local girl.
Well Ducky, I see you have no sense of humor either. Sick. Figures.
Pris
One word: WOOT!
Thank G-d!
Saxby's a good man, a little to the right of John McAmnesty and to the left of that great American, Mitch McConell.
They're still working overtime to steal Minnesota, so don't sleep too easily. Even though the Cleptocrats will have 48 or 49 votes, we can't count on Olympia Snow or Juan McAmnesty. (an opinion column WAITING to be written).
The 3 or 4 iffy Republicans will make every important Senate vote an adventure...
Morgan
My mistake. 57-59 votes for the Cleptocrats.
Morgan
Looks like 41 R's in the Senate.
What I find instructive is the "liberal media" (LMAO) running more than a few stories saying that this mighty group will force Obama to govern to the center.
Not that he hadn't planned to all along but I do get a kick out of R's who really get full of themselves and don't realize they've been marginalized.
One thing Bush was exceptionally skilled at (well not Bush, he was a dip, but his posse) was creating a large enough deficit and financial mess to make government action difficult. A move toward the center is about all that can get done right now but it will not have a Republican voice and if R's resist they will be further marginalized over at the Sarah Palin Memorial Time Out Chair.
Don't look now, Ducky, but if obama is 'forced' to govern from the center it's because people reject extreme liberality.
No matter how you'd like to paint it.
Wait, Ducky?
You honestly think Al Franken is funny?
Seriously?
Politics aside.
Yep! This is good news, Z. There will always be a measure of balance, I suppose.
I suppose Chambliss is OK, but I remember him as beating Max Cleland, a decorated triple-amputee VietNam war vet. Ol Saxby claimed Cleland was soft on security. Chabliss got five deferrements during the VN war and never served. Gotta admit, that is spectacular politicking. :)
