Congratulations Saxby!

Under reported for whatever reasons, Saxby Chambliss won the runoff election against challenger Jim Martin in Georgia yesterday to retain his Senate seat and prevent the Democrats from owning a filibuster proof Senate. Although the Obama campaign pumped in millions of dollars and kept their Georgia field offices open to support Martin, the extra campaigning that Sarah Palin and John McCain did for Chambliss paid off as he won handily 57% to 42%. Hopefully the Democrats occupying less than 60 Senate seats will help to preserve the checks and balances intended by our founding fathers.

Congratulations Saxby and Good Luck, you'll need it!
