Now, Universe, I know I haven’t been a very good pantheist, but if you could just help us out here…

With lots of out-of-state support for both candidates, now that (almost) every other election is off the screen.

I would gladly have sacrificed 2 democractic senate seats to get this useless partisan shitstain out of office. That’s the sad part. Semi-moderate republicans were in danger elsewhere, but a reactionary retard like Chambliss gets to pollute Washington for six more years. Martin’s best shot was winning the general with high turnout and a libertarian candidate. Especially since it’s not gonna tip the Senate to a filibuster-proof margin, this one’s in the bag for a divisive cumrag who cares more about fighting the culture war than fixing the country. Fuck Saxby Chambliss.

The most bizarre thing about the Chambliss-Martin race was how supporters of each side seemed intent on running ads that made me, at least, want to vote for the other guy (if I had a vote). The pro-Martin ads blatantly lie about the Fair Tax, which is surely a mistake here in Boortz-land. The pro-Chambliss ads list all the things that Martin has voted for or against and they make Martin sound better with every example.

So no doubt we will get four more weeks of that.
