Its all come down to Georgia

Now with the election finally over, almost all of the results have been counted, with the exception of Alaska and Minnesota. The Democrats won the Presidency, and now have a large majority in the House and maybe the very important 60 votes in the Senate. Right now the balance of power in the Senate is 57 Democrat and 40 Republican seats, with three races still undecided. In Alaska they are still counting the absentee ballots, in Minnesota the race was so tight it is going into a state wide recount, and in Georgia there will be a runoff December 2nd between Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin. This is an extremely important race because if the Democrats get 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster, they can control the Senate. Some are calling this the first race of the 2010 election season, and both parties are throwing everything into winning this race. Last week John McCain was in Atlanta campaigning for Saxby and this week Bill Clinton will be campaigning for Jim Martin. Everything in this election depends on voter turnout. Some are saying that many Republicans will turn out just to make sure the Democrats do not get filibuster power in the Senate, while others think there will be less Democrats turning out because many of them were motivated to vote by Barack Obama being on the ballot.

Now former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris is on Fox News almost everyday talking about the importance of this election and why electing Saxby is so important. He says Saxby is the last hope in the Senate for stopping Obama's radical agenda. He is also urging everyone who is watching Fox News to donate to a Republican special interest group to pay for pro-Saxby ads in Georgia. Here is an ad that is supposed to be running now in Georgia. So far I haven't seen any campaign commercials for the runoff, so maybe it isn't running yet-
