This runoff between Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin will determine whether the senate will be filibuster proof for the democrats. I noticed in the paper that most all of the republican presidential hopefuls were/are campaigning with chambliss, and they had better! Because the presidential election went to Obama so now they are doing all they can to keep the Senate from becoming filibuster proof for the democrats. And that is what will happen if Martin gets the seat.
Jim Martin the democratic candidate, Has no conservative views whatsoever. Of course what democrat does? He is for partial birth abortions, that is when the mom can have the baby killed right before birth, not very nice of him. He is also for raising taxes, just look at his record and you will see that he was for raising some of the highest taxes in history. Of course you may have to dig a little cuz they like to hide that kind of stuff from his normal record!
Saxby Chambliss's voting record is typically in line with that of the conservatives and although he has a conservative voting record, he has participated in bi-partisan legislation. He is also the republican leader of the "Gang of 10" a bi-partisan group which has worked to create a compromise surrounding the energy policy of the united states. On abortion issues, The ratings given Chambliss as of 2007 by the national right to life commitee and NARAL pro-choice america identify him as having a pro-life voting record. The National Right to Life Commitee gave him 100% rating while the NARAL Pro-Choice America gave him a 0% rating, Surprise Surprise!
I hope that after a failed republican election that the democrats will not get this very important seat.
