Georgia Senate Race

Nobody worth their political soothsaying salt could have honestly thought that a Georgian Republican named Saxby Chambliss would actually lose this election.

Saxby just sounds like a name that comes neatly wrapped in a confederate flag that's been dipped in righteous indignation.

Having Chambliss remain in the Senate could be a blessing for Democrats. Saxby will continue to do his best to pander to the shout-out-louds on the evangelical right. The compromising of individual liberties for the sake of the ever subjective values rants on the right have been the wooden leg of the watered down Republican brand for quite some time, or at least since 1994.

Which all started with another Georgian named Newt.
