Who will win the 2008 Georgia Senate race?

Settled as Saxby Chambliss (R)

In the face of an economy in crisis and a deeply unpopular president, some analysts believe the situation is ripe to give Democrats a shot at a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate in November.

Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss is seeking his second term in the Senate. He has held a solid lead all year, but the race tightened when democrat Jim Martin, a former state representative, won his party's primary to be the Senate nominee in early August.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss was heavily favored to retain his seat for a second term, though polling late in the campaign has made Chambliss appear more vulnerable than first expected.
