[1]News from Georgia's runoff election for the open Senate spot that
was still up in the air following a close vote on 11/4:
With 96 percent of the state�s precincts reporting in the runoff
election, [incumbent Republican Saxby] Chambliss had 57.5 percent
of the vote, and his Democratic challenger, Jim Martin, 42.5
percent. The margin was far greater than the three percentage
points that separated the two men in the Nov. 4 election, when
neither won the required 50 percent. Many of the Democrats who
turned out last month in enthusiastic support of Barack Obama
apparently did not show up at the polls on Tuesday. . . .
A little more than two million people voted in the runoff,
compared with 3.7 million on Nov. 4.
