Today, the citizens of the State of Georgia went back to the polls to decide whether Saxby Chambliss should be returned to the U.S. Senate. As of this writing, Chambliss is ahead 61% to 39%. Unless there is a major upset, Chambliss will be returned to the Senate. It is unfortunate, but not unexpected.
In other news today, Florida Republican Senator, Mel Martinez announced that he would be retiring from the U.S. Senate in 2010. This is unexpected and a great chance for the democrats to pick up a vacant Senate seat. It is very possible that Gov. Charlie Christ will make a run for this seat. As of right now, there is a very long list of possible democratic challengers.
Yesterday, President-Elect Obama announced his national security team. Leading the new diplomatic corps is New York Senator Hillary Clinton. While she and Obama ran a fierce a primary battle, it is believed that she will be more able than anyone else to help President-Elect Obama restore America's status in the world.
