We may get official word later today that there will be a December 2nd run-off election for the Georgia senate seat currently held by Republican Saxby Chambliss. Libertarian Party candidate Allen Buckley appears to have denied Chambliss the 50%+1 vote majority that is needed to carry the seat.

If you make the common assumption that most of the libertarian vote will go to Chambliss, then this is still an uphill battle for Jim Martin, but it is winnable. As the only federal election going on between now and the end of the year, Martin may well have a fund raising advantage in this thing.
