So I'm looking over the results from the Senate runoff in Georgia and I find the results quite interesting. Saxby Chambliss only led his opponent by 3% in November during the general election, but absolutely DESTROYED him by 16 points this week.
Which means that without Democrats crushing the polls for Obama and voting D down the ticket, there is no mandate to replace Republicans with Democrats (at least not in Georgia)... the brand is not selling without the big man leading the charge.
If we can figure out how to frame, market, and sell our brand and present an effective counterpoint to what is sure to be a bull-in-a-china-shop approach to governance by Pelosi, Reid, et al... we could have a very Merry Christmas come 2010.

It's my opinion, shared by others as well, that this election wasn't necessarily about the Republican brand as it was about one man - George W. Bush. He was not the greatest president of all time but he was hardly the complete disaster the media made him out to be. Had the Democrats nominated someone in 2004 who actually had national security credentials, they might have won then and 2008 might have been a different election.
