Saxby Chambliss Wins Georgia Senate Seat
Hey folks,
Yes. I am happy for Saxby Chambliss winning in Georgia. With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, Chambliss wins 57 percent of votes to Martin's 43 percent. There is no question that he wins this. So WHY was it necessary to have a run off in the first place?
Some say that it was the third party Candidate. That it was because of this three way Race that took votes from both Chambliss and his opponent, Democrat Jim Martin, failing to give any of the candidates at least 50 percent. Some argue it was because of ACORN'S involvement. ACORN and the lying, cheating, and stealing LWL {Left Wing Loons}.
Now that he won, some are ready to run to their local places of worship and fall to their knees to thank their Maker that Chambliss's won, as the AP puts it, "dashing Democrats' hopes of capturing enough seats in the U.S. Senate to thwart Republican filibusters." That is not entirely true. More on that in a second.
Now attention will be shifting to Minnesota. You got it. That JOKE of an election is STILL going on. Even some Minnesotans are fed up with it. Calling the whole thing ."downright ridiculous " Well, that's because Franken just refuses to crawl back under the rock of insignificance of which he came.
Seriously folks, if it were NOT for ACORN and the LWL trying to STEAL this election as well, Franken would not even have seen the light of day. This guy is a complete Moron that is not worthy of being in charge of a Rat's Nest, let alone a Senate Seat. But then again, we are talking about the Senate. {Smile}
Norm Coleman has won THREE recounts. THREE. But mysteriously, votes keep turning up. They just keep appearing form nowhere and the majority of them are for Franken. {Laughing} It is BLINDING to see how the Democrats are trying to steal this one. It really is. Follow this from the Miami Herald / AP - In Minnesota, recounting ballots is only the first step
Four weeks after Minnesotans cast 2.9 million ballots in an attempt to decide the costliest Senate contest in the nation, incumbent Coleman is clinging to a lead of 344 votes — with more than 92 percent of the ballots recounted as of Tuesday afternoon. Coleman began the recount with a lead of 215 votes.
On Tuesday, the Franken campaign said its internal count showed Coleman with a lead of only 50 votes. And Franken was expected to pick up more votes after officials in the Democratic stronghold of Ramsey County announced that 171 uncounted ballots had turned up.
Yup. They just appeared. Out of nowhere. Who's car have these been riding around in? Of course, they just HAPPEN to be from "the Democratic stronghold of Ramsey County." Do I need state that obvious?
But even the LWL leadership in the Senate may get involved. According to this.
If the Senate intervenes, as Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., now suggests it might, it wouldn't be unprecedented. The closest election in Senate history ended in 1975: After spending six weeks debating the contest between Republican Louis Wyman and Democrat John Durkin in New Hampshire, the Senate declared the seat vacant, and a new election was held.
The long race has stained Minnesota's pristine political reputation.
A poor writer, poor Comedian, and what? Now he wants to be Senator?
"If there was a Senate race this cycle that needed to end on November 4th, it was this one," said Jennifer Duffy, Senate analyst with the Cook Political Report. "It was just so nasty."
But she said the real battle will begin if Senate Democrats try to seat Franken before legal challenges are concluded.
You bet. I repeat, Coleman WON THREE RECOUNTS. Why do you think Votes just keeping appearing? The majority of them being FOR Franken? Come on. But you know what folks, it really is this simple. Now with Chambliss winning, 57 to 43, I doubt if the Senate will attempt to get involved in this one. Yes. Chambliss, on paper, DOES "dash Democrats' hopes of capturing enough seats in the U.S. Senate to thwart Republican filibusters," and even if Franken "wins" the seat they will not have enough Votes on paper to prevent that, they still have a secrete weapon. About 10 to 14 to be exact. RINOs. Republicans in name only.
The make up in the Senate being what it is, they only need "sway" three or four of these RINOs to vote with them. Even Chambliss himself went over to the Democrats at one point. Remember the Gang of ten? Sens. Saxby Chambliss, Lindsey Graham, John Thune, Bob Corker and Johnny Isakson, alongside five Senate Democrats. This "Gang of 10" announced a "sweeping" and "bipartisan" energy plan to break Washington's energy "stalemate." What they did was throw every vulnerable Democrat, and Mr. Obama, a life preserver. They almost prevented the Drilling Ban from expiring. They nearly created something MUCH worse.
So do not be so quick to celebrate Chambliss winning, and think that this is the Hope we need to prevent the Loons from complete and utter control. It really isn't. But at the same time, Franken? He just needs to go away.

Pete I'm proud to say that Barb and I live in GA and both had the privilege to vote for Saxby.
Hey Irshgodfather,
I just have two words for ya.
THANK YOU!
Thank Barb for me too.

There's no evidence of cheating in Minnesota, right now or in the last few years, by ACORN or anyone else. Minnesota has a history of clean elections, and if you say there's been cheating you need to give evidence.
The candidate are about 200 votes apart and the recount is still proceeding on schedule. No one on either side has done anything wrong yet.
No one has to like or respect Franken, but you shouldn't make false accusations or insinuations.
Hey John,
Welcome to the OPNTalk Blog.
"There's no evidence of cheating in Minnesota, right now or in the last few years, by ACORN or anyone else. Minnesota has a history of clean elections, and if you say there's been cheating you need to give evidence."
Yes they do have an excellent history, until ACORN. Sports teams registered. People paid in cigarettes to vote multiple times. Homeless registering park benches and told to who to vote for. ETC.
"The candidate are about 200 votes apart and the recount is still proceeding on schedule. No one on either side has done anything wrong yet."
Yeah recount after recount. Franken has lost like two or three times. Amazingly enough, after the recounts, NEW uncounted ballots, just turn up. Most in favor of FRANKEN Amazing isn't it?
"No one has to like or respect Franken, but you shouldn't make false accusations or insinuations."
I'm not. And yeah I do not like Franken at all. Loud mouth, arrogant, nasty, and pretty much a waste of time. He lost. He needs to move on.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by john. Stop by again and often, you never know what you are going to see here.

Franken has not lost once yet, according to Minnesota law. Only when the recount is finished will there be any result at all.
Both sides are fighting this to the end, and that's exactly as it should be.
Republican US Attorney Heffelfinger was asked to find voter fraud in the 2006 election, and he couldn't find any. The election office has ways to weed out fake registrations.
OK John,
You seem to be a fan of Franken. I can not possibly imagine why an intelligent, and sane person would be, but you appear to be.
Do you NOT see anything wrong with what is going on? All these "mistakes" being found in FAVOR of Franken? This is not a continuous recount. This is the second or third recount. Franken lost. The election. The first recount. Now they are doing it again, and "uncounted" and mysterious ballots KEEP turning up? Mostly from highly Democratic Districts? Mostly in favor of Franken? You see NOTHING wrong here?
Yeah you better bet both will fight this out to the end. I would if I thought someone was trying to STEAL an election.
I guess eventually, time will tell.
Peter
