Spinning Chambliss

By The Daily Dish

Dec 3 2008, 11:00 AM ET

Chambliss wins, and the Republican side of the blogosphere breathes a sigh of relief. Scott Johnson:

The decisive victory won by Saxby Chambliss over Jim Martin yesterday in the Georgia Senate runoff is reassuring in several respects. A contrary result would have carried a disproportionately large negative impact. It would have added further weight to the notion that some fundamental shift occurred on November 4. It would have added to the demoralization felt by Republicans licking their wounds following the results on November 4. It would have brought Democrats to within shouting distance of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
