The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Congratulations to Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who looks to be on his way to a second six-year term in the U.S. Senate. Democrat Jim Martin has made a good race of it, pushing Chambliss to a runoff in a state in which Republicans remain strong favorites statewide, but he had a lot of the obstacles in his path.
The county where I was the Republican Stratagist (Columbia ) Has Chambliss at 76%. The Augusta area has Martin at 59%, Atlanta Counties all Hav Martin leading Chambliss by wide margins Martin is winning in all of the major cities. He is also taken a strong lead in South West Georgia. Martin’s Stronest County is Clayton where is commands 82% of the vote. Having said all that, Most of Georgia is red. In Forsyth county Chambliss Commands 85% of the vote. Georgia can be viewed as a Red state less the I-20 counties from Augusta to Atlanta. Then the 7 counties in the south east
