1 Because the Libertarian candidate got ~3% of the vote.  I sincerely hope they aren't going to change to vote for the Dem.

2 I can't wait to see episodes of "Palin Unleashed!" and "When Palin Attacks!”.... should make for good reruns in several years.

3 Can't wait to see Palin out there for Saxby. Dang she's going to bring in a huge crowd for him!

4 We'll finally get to see Palin unshackled from McCain's overly-calibrated agenda.

Yeah, I guess we will. I didn't expect to see her tested so soon. We'll know soon enough what she really thinks.

5 Damn! I thought Saxby Cambliss was going to win it. God bless Palin for jumping on the stick (definitely no pun intended) so fast.

6 Governor Palin said in that interview it would be hypocritical to take over Steven's office. You really need to listen to that interview.

7 Georgia requires Senate candidates to get a majority of the votes.  Saxby got 49.8% of the inital vote, which was split three ways.  Obviously, we still need to rally support, but I'm pretty sure he's going to win the run-off.

8 I'm retired so funds are limited but I just gave $50. I challenge all ACE readers to do the same!

9 Actually, a great idea.  that's what I was saying on the other thread.  She doesn't have to get too crazy.  I imagine she is going to stick to the main points of American entrepreneurship  getting beat  up by high taxes,  etc.  She is going to have to go after Obama now.  This is a good place to put out the first  part of the platform.

Hopefully, whoever  left with her in the big party out of Phoenix has been working on that with her. 

10 If anyone wants to see how important it is, remember this part of Quin Hillyer's of The American Specator's article:

It will begin with their efforts to secure a filibuster-proof majority of 60 senators (including the two independents)... 

Next, watch what happens if they regularly can't peel off enough Republicans (or hold their own semi-fairminded people like Nelson and Joe Lieberman) to overcome whatever filibuster attempts Republicans do mount. Watch for an assault on the filibuster itself. Watch how they use as precedent the GOP "nuclear/constitutional option" on judges in 2005 -- except instead of just using it for judges, watch them use it against all filibusters. It's easy: Make the ruling from the chair that the filibuster is out of order for some reason. Instruct the parliamentarian to rule in their favor. Win the appeal of the parliamentarian's ruling by simple majority vote. And watch the courts pronounce it an internal matter of the legislative branch and thus outside of courtroom purview.

11 She is NOT going to have to go after Obama.  dangit.

12

Don't forget, the Dem's will be POURING money to Saxby's opponent... the Obama machine will be helping... AND political campaigns can donate to other campaigns... so Saxby's opponent MAY get a lot of money from Dem campaigns...

Thanks SO MUCH Ace for Helping on this!!!!

Save Saxby!!!

13 Because the Libertarian candidate got ~3% of the vote. I sincerely hope they aren't going to change to vote for the Dem.

They won't come back. The Democrats will. The Republicans might.

They're beaten. Convince them they're voting for Palin. They won't show if Romney becomes the face of the Party in the runoff.

14 Check out the comments on the ABC news article....the sore winners are doing a "bring her on!" to Palin.

15 After the libertarians see the Obamacorps proposal, there is zero chance of them voting for the Dem.

16

Well, hopefully Saxby doesn't run as atrocious a campaign as we were subjected to here in Georgia.

Plus, Saxby has the bailout millstone around his neck.

He will need help, while at the same time trying not to piss off Georgia voters again with some stupid "reach across the aisle" idea.

17 Allen Buckley isn't endorsing either candidate unless they sign a 5 to 10 point commitment to fiscal responsibility.

18

Georgia requires Senate candidates to get a majority of the votes

That is an outstanding requirement. Too bad the Republican Party didn’t have a similar requirement in the primaries. We might not have left 10 million of the base at home.

19

Yeah, but isn't Saxby a douchebag?

Gang of 10 on drilling... Comprehensive Shitfest..

I mean really.. I'd love to help, but I have sitting to be done and my ass isn't gonna park itself.

I'm just saying... we're not "Saving Jim DeMint". It always seems to be these douchey types that are so high maintenance.

I think we should just run Jim DeMint for two seats at once instead. Consider it saved.

Barring that, we help him take over the senate.

20

His ACU rating for 2006 (last year ran) is 96 so he couyldn't have "reached across the aisle" too many times.

In comparison McLame's rating in 2006 was a dismal 65.

21

Jim DeMint (R - SC) I propose we bring bill US2482; a Proposition to kick Ted Steven's ass out and take his parking pass; to the floor for a vote.

Jim DeMint (R - GA) Excellent idea Jim. I second the motion.

Jim DeMint (R - SC) Why thank you, Mr. DeMint. I must say the great state of Georgia has shown excellent taste in representation.

22 omg, i heard Geraldo, the dbag talking about McCain needed to pick a vp that was more to the left of him.  Thanks what got us into this mess in the fucking first place.  I for one am tired of listening to libs talking like they know what our party needs and mod. republicans (whatever that means) talking the same way.  God theses big bags of douche really piss me off.  If Palin wasnt on the tickect, we woulda got only 25 mil votes.  When our party is redefined, we need to push all those so called moderates to the other (dark) side, no pun intended, or drag their dumbasses back into the fold.  Wheres Newt when we need him

23 Thanks, ACE.  I donated and it took a long time to load so a lot of people must be hitting the contribute button. I hope!

24

Yeah, didn't Chambliss stand athwart off-shore drilling and shit?

I realize the Senate hangs in the balance, but my ass already has been reamed and I'm still in recrimination mode. At this point, additonal ass-pain is marginal.

What ever happened to the big GOP Housecleaning we've all been schreeching about this week?

On with the show --- fuck him.

25

Yeah, but isn't Saxby a douchebag?

He has his moments, and the gang of 10 shit was nonsense, but he's not a bad guy. He's reliably conservative and takes national security very seriously. And he is a hell of an improvement over the Democrat, who is a tedious bore.

26

Allright. I have deliberated and shall now render my judgement.

I will support Saxby Chambliss... if he pees in Lindsay Graham's coffee and calls him a homo.

27 Donated! Good call.

28 "Donate, if you can." Heh. That's a good one, Ace! I will not be donating to the Republican National Committee, or any of its candidates, until the trashing of Sarah Palin ceases.

29

Never give money to someone named Saxby.  He can afford it on his own.

30 This is why I hate runoffs. This will be so exhuasting. Good luck Saxby.

31 if this seat is lost then it'll be a long 50
years... it's all about runoff turnout, which
will be much lower. if the democrats can
marshal a large enough turnout for a runoff
election, then they will be able to manufacture
votes for every single election go forward.

any interesting downballot runoffs that can
alter turnout?

32

Go Saracuda! I'm so glad she's gonna be on Greta's show. Greta is really fair to her and to most anyone. I will make myself watch Fox for that night. They are on restriction from me for awhile...

 

Oh, this is OT - but on Cavuto (he's my 1 of 2 Fox exceptions) today there was some guy explaining why the GOVT will probably take over our 401K's bc they are too risky for us peons to handle ourselves. Yup! If I didn't hear it myself I would have thought someone was on crack that tried to tell me that.

33 Cuffy, now's not the time to be an ideological puritan... Obama is a national crisis!

Also, goodbye Norm Coleman! He's toast.

They're Marxists. They'll commit any fraud to win.

Cuffy, this is not the time to be an ideological puritan.

34 Saxby is not worth saving. Palin should not compromise her conservative credentials as a conservative by coming here and campaigning for her. She tried to help to help on RINO only to have them bring and the knives and stab her in the back.
The only reason Saxby is even this close is because a lot of Republicans voted for him merely to prevent the Dems from getting 60 seats in the Senate. Since that is no longer likely, unles the Dems steal the election in MN, that protective shield is gone and most Republicans conservatives will stay home.
Here is Saxby's 3 strikes
Strike 1. Member of the committee and co sponsor of the Amnesty debacle

Strike 2. Member of the committee that crafted the Senate energy plan which basically boiled down to shut up, get a sweater and forget about drilling.
The bad part of that is that while the Senators were holding their little press announcement proclaiming this great piece of bipartisian legislation, Nancy Pelosi was turning out the lights in the House, literally, leaving the House REpublicans in the dark while she went on her 5 week book tour and left the energy legislation in committee.

Strike 3 The bailout

I would hope people would save their money and not support Saxby. If we are serious about cleaning up the Republican party, and try to force them back to their conservative ways, helping to reelect another RINO won't send the right message.
To the Republicans since I am right here in GA I am going to pay attention to who comes down here to support him and the fact that Freedoms Watch is already running commercials on his behalf causing me to wonder about them.
Is this already about electing somebody with an (R) behind their name or is this about regaining the conservative principles of the party?
Tough times call for tough choices. Are you willing to make them?

35

#34...I was going to type up a similar post...glad you did it much better than I would have.  During the dust-up, he was on Rush trying to explain #2 and he was quite squishey...can't help but think that's why he's in the predicament he's in. 

And for all who are thinking "no candidate is perfect", those are 3 pretty big misses.  Palin will take heat campaigning for him, especially on the energy miss.  Unless she get's him to publically change his stance on these items, I'll be keeping my coin, as well.

36 Not helping Chambliss is near suicidal politically at this point. Every seat under 60 helps with leverage for conservatives. Shoot, I'd take Lieberman too right now, as it gives Republicans one more sop to pawn off on leftist votes. You know Reid's gonna try to peel off Republicans with each bill.  Conservatives must hold back the upcoming deluge of radicalism until the 2010 elections.

37 #36 reginaldL

"I would rather lose an election then lose a war"
Except in this case the war is for the heart and soul of the Republican party. If we continue to elect RINO's to hold off the boogey man of liberalism we will never be rid of them.
Ancient Chinese Proverb - A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

38 Are Trolls suggesting we throw Saxby under the bus?  Saxby deserves a chance. Heck this has been a rough year for republicans, and Saxby wasn't the worst. If he doesn't toe the line, we vote him out next time... in the primary.  Don't let the media and trolls decide for us.  Sarah could have said no...the fact that she didn't should tell you something.  Give him a chance.

39

The Dems already have the filibuster killer majority needed with the R’s who always vote with them.

40

#38...I'm certainly not a troll...I just expect R's to act like R's.  The 3 instances noted in #34 are pretty big in my book...heck, why not come out and support the Freedom of Choice Act while he's at it?

If he'll publically apologize to the base for taking leave of his principles, I'd reconsider.  Otherwise, I'd rather be kicked in the junk by someone I expect it from, not a family member.

41 First we had the "Mitt is a Mormon, BOO!" purists. Now we have the "Saxby is a Republican so throw him under the bus for a brand new day" purists. Great! We'll end up with Obamatons in full control with their righteous wind in our face, but you'll have stood on some principle, or something.

42

Georgians aren't Stupid. Saxby has this comfortably. Still, give- make the dems blow cash in a losing effort.

 

The fact Stuart Smalley is only couple hundred votes out solidifies this for the Republicans.

43

#41...sorry...I don't see amnesty, offshore drilling, or free-market enterprise as "some principle, or something".  These are 3 bedrock foundations of the conservative movement.  If Saxby can't make the right choices on these then there are questions to answer.

I don't live in GA, so I don't have a vote (of course, if I were a demo, I would be bused in to vote) but I'm not giving any of my wealth to any R who doesn't get it.  I heard Saxby on the radio defending his position to join the sham drilling Gang of 20 and he spouted the same tired "get along" drek that put us in this position.  So, unless he has a come to Jesus moment publically, thanks but no thanks.

 

44 "We'll finally get to see Palin unshackled from McCain's overly-calibrated agenda."

I think you mean McCain's totally uncalibrated lack of agenda.

45 There not being an African American in the Senator race rematch may help depress the vote in the Special election. I think Saxby could win a rematch, it's just a shame he came within two tenths of one percent of outright winning (blame the lib parts of the state for that). But the repubs in the state can't rest on their laurels cause they could suffer from the same syndrome and not show up to vote. This is the time to man the barricades not the time to veg out.

46 Living in Georgia I can tell you it is a decidedly red state. Chamblis will win with double digits. turnout will be low since the mesiah is not gonna be on the ballot and the brown people and the hispanics will stay home. Chamblis wins 56-44. The runoff is a GOP shoe in. Bank on it
