Presidential Race Is Still Alive in Georgia Runoff

[groovedaddy]

PERRY, Ga. — So upset was Patricia Mock with Barack Obama’s election that she drove two hours to this middle Georgia town on Monday to rally against the president-elect.

“I’m scared to death,” said Ms. Mock, 65, a small-business owner from Rockdale County. “Obama’s going to put our country further in debt. He’s going to push a socialist agenda.”

But she added, “Saxby Chambliss can stop him.”

Republicans across the country are keeping their fingers crossed and their wallets open for Mr. Chambliss, the Republican senator from Georgia who is favored by most political experts in a runoff election Tuesday. A victory for Mr. Chambliss against his challenger, Jim Martin, would prevent Democrats from gaining a filibuster-proof, 60-seat majority in the Senate and limit Mr. Obama’s support in Congress.

It would also salve Republicans’ bruised egos after a disastrous election cycle.

1. We've got a level of ignorance down here that would be funny if it

wasn't so damned frightening. And Saxby has his shepherd's crook/feartaser -- pushing them along the garden path.
