Chambliss the champ in Georgia Senate runoff

There not be a filibuster proof majority for the Democrats in the 111th Congress. Incumbent Republican Saxby Chambliss has defeated Democrat Jim Martin.

It's a big defeat for the Dems. Key issues the majority party has been pushing include union "card check" and the reinstatement of the so-called Fairness Doctrine.

I can't see any Republican supporting either issue, and I believe Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would have been able to pick off a Democrat or two had they come to the floor of the Senate.
