Wonkette
The 2008 Georgia Senate runoff — the single most important election since Clinton/Dole — is happening December 2nd, which is technically “tomorrow,” although that can’t possibly be true — it always sounded like something that would be “a few weeks away,” permanently. But it’s tomorrow and [Democrat] will probably lose to ol’ Saxby “Tit Clown” Chambliss.
Obama’s organizers are working the field hard, but we have not gotten any sure-to-lose “support Jim Martin” e-mail pleas from Obama Headquarters in some time. Because who wants to be associated with some loser Senate candidate? Answer: the DSCC. The DSCC continues to harass everyone constantly. Around 5 p.m., the day before the election, the outreach dude e-mailed asking for money! WHO EVEN HAS THAT?
The DSCC does not mince words: “There are only 4 hours left for you to help us defeat Saxby Chambliss.” Dire! Hank Paulson probably got this e-mail, too, and has “infused” them with $300 billion, for car loans.
2008 Georgia Senate Runoff [Pollster]
Jim Martin? We can’t vote for somebody with a name like Jim Martin.
What’s next? John Black? Mike Brown?
I’ll be dammed if we start letting Browns and Blacks into Georgia politics.
Of course he’s going to win. He’s going against a one-footed Bin Laden clone, which is what all Democrats are.
Dems need to stop picking candidates with weak chins.
I’m a lifelong democrat, and every time I see a picture of Harry Reid, I want to give him a swirlie then shove him into into a locker.
Jim Martin gives me that same vibe.
Considering Georgia’s been losing for about 140 years, this should come as no surprise.
Saxby Chambliss is the post-cum dribble of electoral politics.
Saxby Chamblis sounds like a fungus infection that the WHO is trying to eradicate in various Third World hellholes.
Now, had the dude used his full name of Bubba Jim-Bob Martin, he would have been home free.
Should I be bummed about this or all things considering, not really get that upset about it? Being a Democrat and all, I’m not sure how to handle crushing landslides.
…why doesn’t Jim Martin do what these people did? If he did he would be a lock!
The problem with both these candidates is that they aren’t black enough. Or they are too black. Well, either way they can’t be trusted. My trust only comes with in biracial packages these days. Oh yeah…
Looks like its back to the band “Faith No More” for Jim Martin.
Do you think we can turn Saxby? I think some of us want to volunteer to take one for the team, we can make this guy into a prancy pink girly man. Once we got him to switch sides in bed, then we can get him to switch sides of the house.
I’d volunteer, but he’ll have to come see me in Yemen. But he could take me there, or I could take him there. Or I could pimp him out to a numch of khat-addicts. That would be tasty.
Sissy Saxby never signed on for no tough fight.
It’s a turn out the base for both. Saxby’s base is being driven by weird fears; his ads are fanning those fears. The race was far more competitive than anyone had expected; GA could begin trending Democratic, but probably not this year. There’s a story that Saxby and Martin were in the same fraternity; Saxby dodged the draft, Martin went to Vietnam.
Pardon my ignorance, but… what’s a “Tit Clown”? Is it the flaming bag of poo that entertains a titmouse?
Saxby Chambliss is quite possibly the stupidest name in the history of stupid names. Fucking Saxby Chambliss? It sounds like you want to punch it in the face. It sounds like a rusty saxophone blowing bubbles in a bucket of chardonnay. It sounds like the name of the plucky orphan bastard child of a French whore.
Rev. Juan MessyCan: Uhm… never mind- I just watched Big Daddy’s Thanksgiving Special (now with 5% more pedo!) - and I wish I’d watched a flaming bag of poo instead.
NoWireHangers: I swear to god, for the first, like, four years that I heard this name, I thought they were talking about an insurance company or something.
Rev. Juan MessyCan: Love the titmouse.
GA Dems can’t overcome the bum rush at the polls from the incestuous chest grabbing pedophile vote turning out for Sexby.
Of course Chambliss will win. He has the NAMGLA vote, which I hear in Georgia is almost as big as NAMBLA.
robanybody: If his prepubescent granddaughter isn’t good enough for him nobody else will have her.
Saxby Chambliss is a race-baiting, secret coded twat. Plain and simple. Upon winning easily tomorrow he’ll declare to George, America, and the World “Ha HA you colored peoples, I’m a racist homophobe and I still won!”
NoWireHangers: I think it was also Monica Lewinsky’s pet name for Bill’s little bubba.
Wire: Saxby Chambliss isn’t half as goofy as Lauch Faircloth.
How come Sexy Shambles numbers go up while Martins are static? Is that because Republican voters are mitosizing, like flatworms? I should think registration deadlines would make that impossible.
That’s the trouble. We Islamifagobakuninists are always fighting the last election.
Downmodded for the least sexy graph I have ever seen.
Shit, sorry, thought i was on Reddit for a sec.
(graph still unsexy.)
The only way Chambliss could be beaten is if between now and next time he loses his limbs doing something heroic. Then he’ll be a laughingstock and object of derision to the good people of the Peach State.
My long term plan for turning the South blue involves giving the rednecks all the guns and hooch they want. That and intermarriage.
nurple:Yes, we longanon alienated the Helminth.
Oh, it’s sad: they suppress a wildcat strike, then vote for Chambliss and buy a television on credit.
Sexbee Shambles during that certain unpleasantness in South East Asia in the 1960s got his lonesome self 6 draft deferments, outscoring Darth Cheney by one. A perfect “American First, Including Me” RePug candidate. I say this in a positive, bipartisan way. Truth.
In contrast, that fag, publicity hound Defeatocrat Jim Martin in the mid-1960s served a tour of duty in cushy billet, some country which rhymes with tin can. Do we need shirkers like this in our United States of America gubberment? Nyet. Martin didn’t get no limbs blown off neither.
the only question i have about that turd, saxby chamblis, is:
Is he a sinker or a floater?
Bagglio Ordonez: i care a lot.
NoWireHangers: Sexbee’s first name is Clarence. (True.) I believe that evens things out.
During the Seige of Atlanta, his ancestor state senator Clarence Sexbee Shambles received a transfer to the GSC (Girl Scouts of the Confederacy) due a knitting needle wound.
Well, after Sexyboy + that Fink in MN wins, the republicans will declare they are turning their misfortunes around with 2 of 2 of the most recent victories (100% win rate!!). The good news is this will delude them until 2010 when they are finally put to rest.
Apologies to Nate Silver, 2/2 = 100% win rate is extent of my statistical analysis. I’m sure some regression testing is needed. I predict an R2 of 1 with the two datapoints.
NoWireHangers: i am in love.
would we expect Georgia (!,?) to do anything besides elect the racist retard?
Good work, Atlanta, you surely are the “New York of the South”. Except for that racist shit.
Saxby Chambliss is a heartless scumbag who won his first race by impugning Max Cleland’s
patriotism, and in this race he’s all but accused Martin of being a pedophile. He deserves
nothing better than to be set on by a pack of hungry wolves and die watching one of them
eat his balls.
WadISay: Damn, I think that would work in Okrahoma, too. As long as the four dozen or so liberals in this state of dumbasses remember to keep our heads down and stay fortified in our bunkers.
BTW–I’m wondering if there is any conservative snark on the interwebs. I’m old and easily confused by The Google’s tubes. Thanks to wokette, I’m been to the Corner a couple of times, which is pretty funny. No snark,however, because they don’t seem to be in on the joke.
Pretty much, I think only liberals have a sense of humor (but no on Daily Kos, which is as boring as it is self-righteous.
To wit, are we the sole home of snark on the internets?
Another pro-ignorance cracker in the Senate, wow, how many morans (sic) can one legislative body hold? I’m sure they will have a filibuster minority, especially if Joe sides with his intellectual peers. Bill Buckley spent is life ridding the GOP of its loons, and each was replaced by 20 crackers. WWBBD (What Would Bill Buckley Do)?, or WWALD?, or WWBGD?, or WWNRD? For that matter.
Advocatus_Diaboli: In answer to your question: Georgia, squeal like a pig.
Both candidates live in a state that still flies the confederate flag.
Maybe Cleland will run over Saxy with his wheelchair.
Fuck Georgia, they’ll fall in line someday.
Who else could connect with the backwoods sodomizers but Sexboy CumBliss?
“Ah lack ‘im cuz heez da type o’ poltishin I canz share a curnhole wit.”
ol’ Saxby “Tit Clown” Chambliss.
I think he’s more like this guy:

How can you lose with a name like Saxby Chambliss?

shanemcgowan: I assert to you, William speaks _sub rosa_ for the entire Military-Industrial-Media Complex.
(Can’t even recall the WordPress comments inline PHP tag for Italic type…)
wickedlittledoll: Thanks for the link, which shows how, even after days after the Mumbai massacre, we are all consumerists.

The Republicans have realized the agent of change for their party is feeling up young female relatives on television. It was only Georgia this time, but next cycle, watch for a lot of young incestuous tittie gropes by the GOP. Feel the Love and Values, Dixie-style.
Advocatus_Diaboli: Didn’t Jim Martin carry Fulton County?
saxby chambliss sounds like a wine cocktail, which means he will win hands down in these dire economic times=Depression.

DustBowlBlues: Yes, but the Ritter Sport of quality conservative snark is of very limited scope:

Simony: Yes.
Fuck this state. I’m tired of living in a red state. Fuck it.
Advocatus_Diaboli: I lived in ATL for three years and Atlanta is an island of sanity surrounded by the stupid, redneck racist Bog of the Eternal Stench that is the rest of Georgia. Without Atlanta Georgia would be MS or AL. There’s only so much Atlanta can do. Until the Dems can turn Macon and Savannah you can expect dimwitted race baiting cunts like Shambliss to keep being elected by the tubs that live in between those places. Even the dude who called Barry and Michelle “uppity’ got reelected. So it’s actually a miracle that Jim Martin isn’t being beaten by 3:1. The fact that Obama won makes it even harder because now the Reichwingnut crackers are really scared. Jim is actually suffering from the other Dems success.
TGY: Yeah, sorry Advocate of the Deuce if I misread the New York reference for something Rudycond…
gambypants: Saxby Chambliss sounds like a Saville Row tailor that specializes in semi-flamboyant suits for teh Ghey crowd. (Englishmen).
I’ve lived in Savannah for two years, and it’s getting bluer every day, and Obama won
Chatham county by about 16,000 votes.
TexasCowGirl: I just voted against Saxby. Bibb County (Macon) typically goes blue, at least we did for Kerry and Obama. Not sure what color we’ll go this time since it’s cold out. GA had a nice Blue Sash during the presidential race, so Atlanta has some help to the south.
Still sounds like a gay porn name, that is all.
Momus:
You feel the need to give the konservs credit for showing up, because you have to be sporting, but they’re taking complete advantage of that default non-badwill to grab whatever they can as fast as they can. Even Burke: REFLECTIONS is facially good if opposed to what I stand for, but around page 100 he starts putting in advertisements for Marie Antoinette and you just have to toss the thing away. The only halfway readable doctrine is Hayek. The rest is just crap, even Buckley. The only living Repug who doesn’t pinch your spoons is George Will.
If you are a grown man and other men call you “Saxby,” what does that mean?
The problem is, here in Georgia, you have to own 5,000 acres of property in order to be qualified for voting.
Mongo
…or you have to have sold cars on TV in a costume.
Man, if Martin wins then that screws the whole rumored FNM Reunion.
Well I just voted for Martin here in Columbus, Ga. So fuck you Saxby!! I’m not very optimistic though.
