AP: Chambliss Wins Georgia Senate Runoff

This rules out the possiblity of Democrats securing a 60-vote, filibuster-proof supermajority.

   ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss has won re-election in a runoff, dashing Democratic hopes of capturing enough Senate seats to thwart Republican filibusters to block votes on legislation.

   Chambliss, who fell just short of the majority vote needed to win re-election in November, prevailed in a one-on-one rematch with Democrat Jim Martin.
