PPP GA Runoff Poll: Chambliss 52, Martin 46

[MadBadger]

They had Chambliss winning the final pre election poll 44-41. This shouldnt come as much of a surprise. Saxby will probably win. But hopefully he wont!

1. It will be harder to win the run-off than it would be to win on election day primarily

because Obama is not on the ballot. The only reason it was close on election day and Chambliss was (barley) kept under 50% is because of the huge turnout among black voters primarily due to excitement over Obama.

2. And some of that huge turnout voted for Obama and went home

I know that the Obama offices still open here in GA are working hot and heavy to get people out.

3. Georgians will pick corrupt GOP even though they'd be shooting themselves in both feet with Saxby.

Maybe we will be surprised and see a turnout they didn't expect.

4. Georgia is rife with election fraud all the way back to 2002 when there

were magical overnight double-digit swings to R candidates across the country.

I don't have my hopes up for Martin simply by virtue of this run-off being in Georgia.

5. That state is a lost cause.

6. This will be very tough to win

We will have to settle for 58 or 59. Still not too shabby, as it will be easy to pluck 1-2 Repubs on most issues.
