Senate Update: Greetings, I Am The Count
Three Senate contests remain undecided: AK, MN and GA. Here's the latest action in each state election:
Alaska
-- Mark Begich has a 1,022-vote advantage over embattled Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK). Results are expected to be certified Wednesday. More than 90% of the votes have been counted, and there are about 24K left from Anchorage, Southeast Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula.
Minnesota
-- Just 206 votes separate Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) and actor/comedian Al Franken. A mandatory recount is set to launch Wednesday, and a final tally is likely by Dec. 19, though the results could be challenged in court. Franken, meanwhile, is expected in Washington tomorrow for a meeting with Democratic leaders. But he is skipping a scheduled orientation for new senators. Franken is also still fundraising. The recount effort, his camp notes, is pricey.
Georgia
-- A runoff between Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Democrat Jim Martin is scheduled for 12/2. John McCain stumped for Chambliss last week, and Mike Huckabee was in GA for the GOPer yesterday. Bill Clinton is expected Wednesday to make an appearance for Martin at the Vivian W. Henderson Gymnasium at Clark Atlanta University. Also, Donna Brazile is advising the Martin camp.
WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush's Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don't have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn't think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn't that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family's, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don't let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He's not one of you. He is on George Bush's side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss "Let Them Eat Cake" vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don't have to be Saxby Chambliss's victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you

Gee, jacksmith, maybe I'm wrong on this but GWB lives in Texas. This is a Georgia election. I think that means the people of Georgia put Sen. Chambliss in office, not POTUS Bush.
Your hatred of a GWB has given you tunnel vision. Bet you are the same dude that will scream "racist" because I don't like something POTUS Obama does.
Attention Jim Martin:
Barack Obama and Donna Brazile are OK, but stay away from Bill Clinton who doesn't dare list the contributors to his presidential library? What is he trying to hide? He never had sex with that woman! Of course not! She had it with him! How stupid and forgetful does he think the people of Georgia really are? Just another bunch of southern country bumpkins? He should save himself the embarrassment and go “home” to New York, and stop "helping" Jim Martin.

Dear Jack Smith
The very last thing I want is to PAY for the healthcare of 15 Million Illegal invaders in our country which is what the Obama plan would do. The very last thing the middle class needs is to bailout the Auto Makers which Obama wants to do.
