What’s your take on why the Chambliss margin of victory in the run-off is so much larger than his margin on “Election Day”?

Neil Boortz makes sure the Libertarian gets their 4-5%.

That, plus Obama coat-tails made it a closer race than it otherwise would have been.

My take is mainly that Obama generalted a huge turnout among non-regular voters (many African-Americans, as well as some illegals and dead voters). Obama got 47% there. But with the runoff, “change” was removed from the public conciousness and it became about the two individual candidates. Jim Martin is a pro-abort liberal and Georgia didn’t want that.
