Last Thursday, Saxby Chambliss skipped the Senate vote on the Unemployed Compensation Act of 2008. What was he doing while the Senate voted on such an important piece of unemployment legislation? Campaigning to keep the job he was failing to do. Bonus: his campaign speech that day was focused on unemployment and the economy. He was one of only four Senators to skip the vote.
Elsewhere in the state, Wendy Whitaker is filing suit with the state of Georgia in an attempt to be removed from the sex offender list. How did she end up on the list in the first place? Consensual oral sex. When she was in high school.
Finally, outside of the state of Georgia, fivethirtyeight.com is projecting Al Franken to overtake Norm Coleman in their Minnesota Senate race recount by a total of just 27 votes. That's one ten thousandth of a percent! 538's electoral projection was only one vote off. Let's hope this projection is just as accurate.
