Did anybody NOT think he was going to win? Last I heard, even the Georgia democrats expected it.

No big deal. Chamblis won re-election in a very southern red state against a weak opponent. The modern Repub party is regional party and Georgia is, as Gov. Witless would say, "smack-dab in the middle of the region. Ya Betcha!

More like lack of the black vote. That same black vote that blindly for the One.

"That same black vote that blindly for the One."
or the woman vote that went blindly for Clinton or the white trash vote that blindly went for McCain or the stupid vote that blindly went for Palin or the brain dead vote that went blindly for Bush
do you see where I'm going here "Huh"?
Posted by: JR | Dec 3, 2008 6:42:42 PM
Yes, the Black vote had only one mission:
Elect the half-Black guy (even if he has NOTHING at all in common with 96% of us)to be President, by hook or by crook.
Once that mission was accomplished, they could care less about any other Democrats running for office.

Oh I see where you are going JR. You liberals can't carry on a conservation without the use of name calling and personal attacks.
