CHAMBLISS WINS! 60-Seat Dem Majority Blocked

Blocking the attempt of the Democratic majority to gain a 60-seat filibuster-proof Senate super-majority, Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss has defeated challenger Democrat Jim Martin in a runoff election held Tuesday in Georgia.

Chambliss' victory effectively puts an end to the Democrats' quest for a 60-seat super-majority that would have prevented the minority from using the filibuster to block blatantly extremist legislation put forth by Barack Obama and liberal Democrats.

This is great news for those who believe it is vital that there be at least one check on the unbridled power of the Obama-Democratic party steamroller in Washington.

The only other outstanding Senate race yet to be decided is the recount in Minnesota that pits Republican incumbent Norm Coleman against Democrat challenger Al Franken.

Coleman appears to have the lead in the recount, but Franken is attempting an end-run around the voting process by pleading with the Democratic majority in Congress to nullify the vote and make him the winner.

It is yet to be seen if there will be a protracted legal challenge to the vote in Minnesota once the recount is complete.
