News Martin, Chambliss may be in a runoff!
Posted by Ken Edelstein on Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Still with only 96 percent of ballots counted, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss has slipped below 50 percent. In all likely, this means he'll be forced into a runoff against Democrat Jim Martin.
Chambliss 49.8; Martin 46.8.
Big caveat: This is so tight that Chambliss still could jump above 50 percent.
But if he stays below 50 percent, it's huge. A runoff would make Georgia the national political battleground for the next four weeks -- until the Dec. 2 runoff.
