Saxby Wins! And a Franken prediction...

Fox News has projected that Saxby Chambliss will win the Senate runoff in Georgia handily. That to me seemed like an obvious conclusion to this story. Why? Because the media was not drooling like mad dogs in Atlanta predicting the end of Republicans in Georgia. The facts on the ground never supported this liberal invasion and Georgia was no different.

And give the President-elect some credit. His apparently very qualified team knew this was a no-win and didn't bother to make a big push for a candidate that wasn't going to win no matter what they did. And the photo op with the rappers was a loser as well.

And the big loser? Al Franken. Coleman has won fair and square in Minnesota. The General election showed him as a winner. The recount has shown him as a winner. But Senate majority leader Harry Reid suggested that they may intervene? Not a change. Minnesota is decided and unless Reid wants to find himself in a maelstrom of negative protests for no benefit to himself, he will back off. Why you ask? Because President-elect Obama will tell him so.

You heard it here first.
