US Senate - GA
All the networks had called the GA Senate seat for incumbent Saxby Chambliss, but I'm not completely sold on it. Actually, several have since pulled their calls and put the seat back in the Too Close to Call column.
Saxby needs 50% + 1 to avoid a runoff. He's at 51.2% with 95% reporting (as of 1:10 am). There are still some Fulton County precincts outstanding.
More importantly, I don't think any of the early/absentee votes have been counted yet. There are more voters this year than in 2004, but so far only about 3.2 million votes have been counted, which is about the same total as four years ago. The early voting broke heavily Democratic.
I still think Saxby, unfortunately, pulls out a win, but only with the barest of majorities, maybe 50.2%. But this one's going down to the last vote.
