102. I'm a Georgian too ...

Here's how I see it. Chambliss knew his goose was cooked when he broke the Norquist pledge recently. Some real teapartiers will run for his seat including nutcase Paul Broun. This is an opportunity for a conservative Democrat like John Barrow, US representative, to run. He would be a very attractive candidate. Lemmings, march on!

And today, he's considered a moderate in Georgia. onehandle Jan 2013 #1
