"Chambliss wins second term in U.S. Senate; Defeats Jim Martin after arduous runoff campaign"

"Chambliss wins second term in U.S. Senate; Defeats Jim Martin after arduous runoff campaign": The Atlanta Journal-Constitution provides a news update that begins, "Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss defeated Democratic challenger Jim Martin on Tuesday to win re-election to a second term. Chambliss and Martin -- University of Georgia Sigma Chi frat brothers in the 1960s -- faced off in a U.S. Senate runoff that has become the focus of U.S. politics in the wake of the Nov. 4 general election. At stake was the balance of power in the Senate. Despite the gravity of the top race, turnout was light for most of the day."

And Wednesday's edition of The New York Times will contain an article headlined "Republican Wins Runoff for Senator in Georgia" that begins, "Saxby Chambliss, a first-term Republican senator, was re-elected by Georgia voters on Tuesday in a substantial victory, ending Democratic hopes for a 60-vote majority in the Senate that would make it difficult for Republicans to filibuster the Obama administration's legislative agenda."
