God, I wish. Chambliss is a horrible, horrible, horrible person.

Even if the poll is correct, 6 points = 6 miles.

BS

Even if it were true, now Saxby starts unloading his millions on attack ads and that ends this race.

Regardless of the poll's veracity, the Demographic nature of the state probably guarantees Martin(like Rice in Oklahoma) a reasonable performance. Even Majette was within 18 points in 2004, and she was a liberal Black one-term congresswoman. Martin is a longtime legislator, and moderate white Democrat. He should get the 43-44% floor he is getting now. Unfortunately for him, Chambliss should also get the 53-54% floor that Republicans now seem to have in statewide races here.

44% will be about as good as gets for Martin
