GOP's Chambliss Wins in GA

GOP's Chambliss wins Ga. Senate runoff
Democrats' hopes for Senate filibuster-proof supermajority dashed

I'm not a big fan of Chambliss. His voting record is ok in some areas, and absolutely horrible in others. But I am glad to see that the Democrats did not pick up a filibuster-proof majority. With all the talks of Auto Company bailouts, and some leading Democrats in very clear support of them, it's good to know that there will be some check and balance left in the system.

Checks and balances are a good thing and healthy for even the party in power. We've seen a large Democratic congress get corrupt before, and they had to be ousted by the Republicans in the mid-90s. We've seen the corruption of the Republican party over the last 8 years while Congress & Bush rubberstamped each others proposals and where that lead. I'm still uncomfortable with how far to the Democrats the Congress has gone, but I still have faith (and it's being backed up by Obama cabinet picks) that our new President will govern from the center.
