The AJC speculates today on the possibility of a runoff between Republican Saxby Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin. The writer says Libertarian Allen Buckley might prevent the major party candidates from gaining more than half of the vote.
That would be interesting!
At that point, if there were a run off in that Senate race-- all eyes would be on Georgia. Surly, more money from the national parties would pour into Georgia buying up ads and investing in staff.
I think Saxby Chambliss is already a tough sell for a lot of conservative voters because he voted for the Wall Street Bailout Recovery Bill. But, at the same time Jim Martin doesn't really come off as a warm politician. From what I can tell, he's well known in Atlanta, but elsewhere, not so much.
I'm always for runoffs because I just like to go vote! Get excited about elections.
