To Jim Martin and all of the Georgia Democrats who worked so hard for his campaign, take solace from the fact that we all are grateful for your efforts - change will eventually come (kudos to the ever-courageous Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution also).
And to the lizard-brained, single-digit-IQ supporters of Saxby Chambliss, I realize that you're too stupid to realize that it's a bad thing when a candidate for high political office claims that he doesn't know the meaning of the word "recession," stonewalls an investigation into a refinery fire in which 14 people died (here - and shoves his hand into a camera lens when he's asked about it), and makes sure the state police removes someone from a campaign event who has the apparent effrontery to exercise his God-given right to record the event for posterity.
We got to 50 seats in the Senate in 2006, and we'll do no worse than 58 this year (59 if Franken wins). That's one away from 60 (I'm helping you with the math so you don't have a hard time counting on your fingers and toes).
If you want the Repugs to remain the political party of choice for largely male, middle-aged white crackers, that's the path you choose. We'll just keep surrounding you until the point where you're irrelevant; we're just about at that point now (and here and here is good news on two more targets for 2010).
But for now, here's another look at the life form you're sending back to Washington. Take a bow (and I hope you herniate yourselves in the process).
Update 12/05/08: I thought this was interesting stuff on the runoff.
