FYI, it looks like Chambliss has defeated Martin for Senate in GA

Georgia can claim Lester Maddox, the axe-handle man.

[OWC Jamie]

So, with just 58 seats that means lots of excuses and kissing Republican ass. :-)

[Ted King]

Legislation that moderate Senate Democrats will support may very well also draw the support of somewhat moderate Republican Senators like Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter, Richard Lugar, or George Voinovich. Several Democratic Senators are from fairly "red" states so there may just as much ass kissing of them as of the Republicans I mentioned to get supermajority votes when required.

Maddox and Wallace. Isn't it interesting that the people who lecture everybody else on race have this sort of distinguished ancestry. Oh, add the grand wizard of KKK in office now.

I agree with that, but we are talking about Georgia, not Alabama.
Sorry.

All them Southern states look alike to me.

It might end up at 59. Al Franken is still trying to steal that Senate seat in Minnesota.

Steal the Senate seat from Minnesota? How? Last I checked he was the Democratic nominee for the Senate seat and there was an election that was so close it triggered the automatic recount clause in Minnesota election law.

The automatic recount is not what I mean; that's OK.
