During the early results, I was embarrassed by GA: McCain seemed to have a significant early lead. However, as the night went one, that gap slowly narrowed. Georgia did ultimately go to McCain, but there are a number of islands of blue in that sea of red — more than in 2004.

Also, a runoff between Chambliss and Martin is rumored. Like McCain’s early numbers, Chambliss appeared to have Martin on the run, but those numbers are now too tight to call. If Chambliss does not get 50%, then a runoff is required by law.

Finally, Jim Marshall was able to hold his seat in the House, no small feat for a Dem in Central Georgia. Way to go, Jim!
