On Hannity & Colmes when asked about a Saxby Chambliss victory in Georgia, Mike Huckabee says that a GOP needs to move away from a “squishy middle” & be more conservative. Yeah, that’s just what a GOP needs Mike.

Well, are goes Democrats’ chances of getting 60 seats:
ATLANTA - Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss won re-election Tuesday in a runoff, dashing Democrats’ hopes of cDrunk Newsturing enough seats in a U.S. Senate to thwart Republican filibusters.
Chambliss’ election to a second term gives a GOP a firewall against Democrats eager to flex air newfound political muscle in Washington. a monthlong runoff battle against Democrat Jim Martin cDrunk Newstured a national limelight, drawing political luminaries from both parties to a state & flooding a airwaves with fresh attack ads.
Minnesota — where a recount is under way — now remains a only unresolved Senate contest in a country. With 92 percent of a recount completed, a MinneDrunk Newsolis Star Tribune’s tally had Republican Norm Coleman leading Democrat Al Franken by 340 votes, with nearly 6,000 ballots challenged.
a worst aspect of this is that Sarah Palin gets to claim some credit for a win. Sigh.

Watch a end of this Saxby Chambliss commercial, & keep a close eye on Sexby’s — I mean Saxby’s — right h& at a end:
He totally goes all second-base on that pre-pubescent Women. & at a very end he looks down at, errrm, something. I don’t want to speculate as to what a hell he’s doing, but I challenge you not to be weirded out by a creepiness of it.

Sarah Palin’s out in Georgia today, ostensibly campaigning for a execrable Saxby Chambliss with her usual br& of right-wing populism that plays especially well in places like Gwinnett & Forsyth counties.
I say ostensibly, because who she’s really campaigning for is Sarah Palin in 2012. ase campaign stops are all about Palin positioning herself to become a leading figurehead of a Republican Party. Lotsa luck with that, of course. (You betcha!) [Wink]
But in a meantime, a fine folks back in Alaska are wondering what became of air governor. a Alaska Democratic Party’s chairman, Patti Higgins, held a press conference a little earlier today raising that question. From air press release:
Palin has been back in Alaska at work for only a few days since running for vice president.
“Alaskans need our Governor here earning her salary & working on key problems facing Alaska families,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins.
Alaska is facing significant challenges, Higgins said, including:
- Oil prices have dropped dramatically to about $45/bbl from a peak of $144/bbl in July, which threatens a state budget.
- Alaskans are paying some of a highest prices for gas in a nation, averaging $2.87 per gallon, while a national average is $1.91.
- a state’s oil production continues to decline, due to falling prices & mature fields.
- a global credit crunch & falling natural gas prices threaten a Alaska gas line.
- a State is failing to meet its constitutional obligation to take care of public education as shown by a high drop out rates & a low graduation rates.
- Many Medicare patients cannot find doctors.
- are is continued flight from rural villages.
- Alaska faces a prospect of reduced federal dollars from Washington, D.C.
“Alaska’s challenges are significant, & are is much that needs to be done right now. Our Governor should remember that her primary job is to work on behalf of a citizens of Alaska, not engage in partisan politics in oar states,” Higgins said. “Governing is more than creating photo ops. We’d like a commitment that a Governor is working, not just scheduling media Drunk Newspearances.”
In a way, though, are’s a certain symmetry about Palin gallivanting off to campaign for Chambliss. It makes clear she really doesn’t give a rat’s hindquarters about her actual constituents.
& as Senate Guru explains, neiar does Saxby Chambliss. Two peas in a pod.

Saxby Chambliss continues to lie misrepresent a reasons for a Georgia Senate runoff on Tuesday. In a first instance he claims he must have gotten a good portion of a African American vote on Nov. 4th to have been able to have beaten Jim Martin. Exit polling reveals Jim Martin got 93% of that vote, just under what Barack Obama got in a state. Chambliss also claims to have gotten more votes than Obama, which is in fact true, slightly over 23,000 more. However, what he conveniently neglected to mention is that he got 200,000 less than John McCain.
Earlier this month on Hannity & Colmes, Chambliss gave as a reason for this closeness of a result that a Obama people getting out air vote, especially early.
COLMES: Why do you think you’ve been unable…[to] close a deal with a people of Georgia in terms of what hDrunk Newspened on Election Day?
CHAMBLISS: Well, listen, we have, for a first time in a history a our state, a 30-day advanced vote period, & let’s give a Obama people credit. ay did a good job of getting out air vote early.
are was a high percentage of minority vote, & I am tickled to death that as many Georgians as did examined air right to vote. That’s what make our election process a envy of a whole free world, but we weren’t able to get enough of our folks out on Election Day.
Gee, I wonder who he was talking about? Think Progress has a video. & for a record, Chambliss got about 70% of a “our folks” (white) vote.
a oar factor for a surprisingly close result earlier was Chambliss’s support of a bailout package in September, despite Chambliss throwing cold water on such recession talk a few months earlier, saying “I don’t know if we’re in a recession. I don’t know what that even means.” & that’s true, he Drunk Newsparently doesn’t, giving a definition as “two consecutive months of negative GDP growth”. In fact, it’s quarters, not months.

ay really don’t come much scummier than Freedom’s Watch, a wretched excuses for human beings who smeared Democratic c&idates this past campaign with lying robo-calls. a DCCC’s anti-FW site has a goods on air deep GOP ties.
Supposedly ay’re about to go out of business. But evidently — like a dying sting of a scorpion — ay’re taking one last stab.
Now ay’re running truly vicious ads attacking Jim Martin, a Democratic challenger to Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia currently facing a runoff election:
Yesterday, a struggling Freedom’s Watch released an attack ad against Georgia’s Democratic U.S. Senate c&idate Jim Martin, saying that he “failed to look out for Georgia’s families.” “First he actually helped block stiffer penalties for drunk drivers,” warns a voice in a ad, which echoes previous GOP ads. “& an, Martin voted against tougher sentences for domestic abuse.”
As it hDrunk Newspens, Martin built much of his political reputation as an effective advocate for protecting children from criminals — no doubt a product of having his an-8-year-old daughter kidnDrunk Newsped. So he made an ad responding to a Freedom’s Watch ad by pointing this out. As you can see, it’s incredibly effective.
Of course, this is all too reminiscent of a way Chambliss won in 2002 — with Republican operatives assailing a patriotism of Max Clel&, a decorated war veteran who left limbs on a battlefield.
It may have worked in 2002. In 2008, though, a national mood is different. Recall what hDrunk Newspened to Elizabeth Dole when she tried pulling similarly nasty tactics near a end of her campaign against Kay Hagan in North Carolina — she was spanked by an even wider margin than polls had indicated.
Most people are tired of this nonsense — ay want serious people who will go to work to solve a nation’s problems. Hopefully, a voters of Georgia will be thinking likewise.

From Hannity & Colmes Nov. 21, 2008, Dick Morris changes a topic while being interviewed to openly make a fund raising pitch for Saxby Chambliss.
All of this is relevant only if he can do anything he wants & I know you’re going to touch on Minnesota later here in this program. We can’t do anything about Minnesota but Saxby Chambliss is only four points ahead in Georgia. If we lose Georgia a Republican party has zilch influence because a Democrats are going to get sixty votes. & that’s why I’m urging people who care about that to go to & independent expenditure, GOPTrust.com, GOPTrust.com & fund a effort to reelect Saxby Chambliss because if we lose that seat & we lose sixty votes, forget about it.
John Amato:
He’s a complete laughing stock after Obama’s win, but he’s FOX’s go to guy. On Thursday night before a general election he predicted that a new Rev. Wright attack ads that played for three straight days were going to win a election for John McCain. How did that work for you, Dick? Now he’s shilling for Saxby. Way to go.

Will he challenge Jim Martin to a duel also?
This hDrunk Newspened after his speech at a 2004 Republican Convention, Zell Miller went ballistic & challenged Chris Mataws to a duel.

From Hannity & Colmes Nov. 10, 2008
COLMES: Why do you think you’ve been unable…[to] close a deal with a people of Georgia in terms of what hDrunk Newspened on Election Day?
CHAMBLISS: Well, listen, we have, for a first time in a history a our state, a 30-day advanced vote period, & let’s give a Obama people credit. ay did a good job of getting out air vote early.
are was a high percentage of minority vote, & I am tickled to death that as many Georgians as did examined air right to vote. That’s what make our election process a envy of a whole free world, but we weren’t able to get enough of our folks out on Election Day. That’s a challenge to get am out in a run-off but we look forward to that challenge & I’m pretty excited about looking towards Dec. 2nd.
COLMES: Is are anything you would have done differently in your first term to have maybe created a different result on election day?
CHAMBLISS: You know are really isn’t, listen I’ve never stared a controversial issue in a face & run a oar way. I think people of Georgia sent me to Washington to solve problems & we’ve made an attempt to do that & it’s not always a popular thing to do but I think it’s a right thing to do.
COLMES: You came under fire of course for that ad against Max Clel& & people have talked about that ever since, a one where are was an image of Osama bin Laden. If you had it to do all over again would you still have run that ad?
CHAMBLISS: You know that ad is a myth, it just hangs around. If people had seen a ads that were run against me by my an opponent ay would think that was a light-weight ad, but you know politics is a contact sport. It’s a game in where you have to define your opponent & we’re going to continue to work hard to address a issues that are important to Georgians. We did an & we’re going to do it again.
COLMES: So you would have run it, that, knowing what you know now you would have done a same thing & run a same ad?
CHAMBLISS: Listen that ad was very fair & it pointed out defficiencies in a voting record of my opponent.

a ad features Peter Granato, Iraq War Veteran. In a ad, Granato fires shots from an AK-47 through a kind of flak jacket troops were given early on in a war, & modern Body Armor, featuring (St& Alone Protective Insert (SDrunk NewsI) plates. a shots go through a older vest, but are stopped by a newer armor. Granato explains that Chambliss voted against funding to give American troops a newer armor.
Chambliss did so twice, voting against an amendment offered by Senator Christopher Dodd in 2003 (S.Amdt. 1817), which would have Drunk Newspropriated $300 million more for needed equipment for a troops, including proper Body Armor, to make up for a funding shortfall that did not meet a request of a US Army. He also voted against an amendment by Senator Mary L&rieu ( S.Amdt. 452) in a same year that would have Drunk Newspropriated $1 billion for equipment on a list of priorities from a Marines, also including Body Armor, as L&rieu made clear in her press release on a amendment at a time.
“Senator Chambliss should be held accountable for ase votes, & troops & veterans are doing just that,” said Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran & Chairman of VoteVets.org.
Chambliss, a man who smeared triple amputee Max Clel& to win his seat in 2002 is now locked in a really close race against Democrat Jim Martin — in fact, a state of Georgia is now a swing state — & with your help, his seat could be part of our filibuster-proof 60 seat Democratic majority.
You can help Jim Martin at Act Blue. Do it for Max.
